MEMPHIS, Tenn. — XAI will be expanding the size of its AI training facility and supercomputer on 3231 Paul R Lowry Road in the coming months, after the Greater Memphis Chamber announced the approval of a land lease on Oct. 4.
The expansion was announced 122 days after the initial announcement of xAI’s AI training facility and supercomputer, Colossus on Jun. 5, 2024. The xAI facility was initially announced on Jun. 5, 2025, and was said to be the world's most powerful AI training system upon completion. xAI’s introduction to Memphis is the largest multi-billion-dollar capital investment in Memphis’ history, according to Ted Townsend, President and CEO of the Greater Memphis Chamber.
The company has also been bringing stability to the city’s power grid, providing megapacks and has worked to preserve drinking water in the area with the construction of the world’s largest ceramic membrane greywater facility, according to officials.
“xAI is transforming the Memphis narrative by positioning the city as a powerhouse when it comes to the speed of doing business. Memphis might not just be known for its music and its ribs but for being the heart of AI innovation.” Said Townsend.
