Machine-checked, not reviewed by an editorStated in sourceSupported

Supporting evidence: primary · 1 source

Date: 2026-01-08 · announcement
Figure measures: not stated by the source
Transaction type: compute capacity
Relationship context: external
Stage: planned
Quantity: approximate · 2 GW (as worded: "~2GW" / "nearly 2 gigawatts")

Scope and limitsAn aggregate projection across xAI's sites, stated by xAI's chief executive in a government release, not a figure for Southaven alone and not an operating figure. It is not comparable with the dataset's GPU-equivalent aggregate (recorded separately).

Check notes: Candidate pack passage, compute, power and orbit (research/compute-power-orbit). The quotation (8 words) matched the text retrieved for the candidate pack on 2026-10-28 and again at admission on 2026-10-30, in a fresh retrieval (SHA-256 3d61a71935560c2dc81ae494898c086df3dccdca5417830fb8d04e0973ec0c20; the bytes differ from the pack’s retrieval). Matching ignored differences of whitespace, case, quotation marks, dashes and Unicode compatibility forms, so the source’s typography can differ. A cross-family machine check (2026-10-29/30, item 28) answered the record’s question blind from fresh retrievals and agreed with the record. No human editorial review.

Status and meaning

Editorial status. Not reviewed by an editor. An exploratory record that no editor has accepted. This status does not say whether a person has read any linked passage. Each evidence record above shows how it was checked.

Relation. Planned capacity of an identified compute asset or, from schema 2.21, of a group of sites a source states together (a literal naming the group). No deployment, operation, procurement or ownership is established, and a group’s figure is never divided among its sites.

Date. Date of the announcement, as the source gives it.
