Elon Musk posted a video on the X social network showing the process of assembling server racks in a new facility: the Cortex supercluster. It is located near Tesla’s Giga Texas plant. The details are revealed by Tom’s Hardware.

The supercomputer is planned to be equipped with 70,000 AI servers, which will consume a total of 130 MW, and by 2026 this figure could reach 500 MW.
In the video, Musk showed rows of server racks, each containing eight servers. Approximately 2,000 servers with accelerators are housed in these racks, which is about 3% of the facility’s estimated capacity.
Cortex could become Tesla’s largest supercluster that will train AI systems, using 50,000 Nvidia H100 accelerators and 20,000 accelerators of its own design. The system is being built to solve real-world AI problems, including training Tesla’s Full Self Driving (FSD) autopilot systems for cars and Cybertaxi and the Optimus robot.
In June, a group of Tesla investors sued Elon Musk, the company and members of its board of directors. They claim the automaker suffered after Musk diverted resources to his xAI company.
