Every milestone

23 Jan 2024 — X Corp's $700 million investment in AI training hardware for the Atlanta data center is approved by the Development Authority of Fulton County (bond resolution fact sheet).
20 Feb 2025 24 MW xAI's GPU cluster in the QTS Atlanta building at 1025 Jefferson Street NW is operational around this time. This date is a tentative estimate: Business Insider reported the buildout in February 2025, so the cluster likely came online around or shortly after then, though the exact date is not disclosed. The cluster comprises 11,000 NVIDIA H100 and about 1,448 A100 GPUs, based on documents submitted to Develop Fulton as reported by Business Insider. xAI occupies part of this multi-tenant building, so its cooling is not attributed to xAI alone.
21 Aug 2025 24 MW No significant change to the building since the cluster became operational.
10 Jul 2026 24 MW No significant change to the building since the August 2025 image.
