Built in just 122 days and powered by NVIDIA’s groundbreaking Spectrum-X Ethernet networking, “Colossus is the most powerful training system in the world,” Elon Musk wrote on X.
The supercomputer, housing 100,000 NVIDIA Hopper GPUs, supports xAI’s Grok large language models and brings ultra-fast AI capabilities.
The Spectrum-X platform delivers 95% data throughput with zero latency degradation -- levels traditional Ethernet can’t achieve -- redefining scalable, high-performance AI

Social media influencer Ashley St Clair has filed a paternity suit against Tesla CEO Elon Musk, seeking sole custody of their five-month-old son and a court-ordered paternity test. St Clair claims Musk has only met the child three times and has not been involved in his care or upbringing.
St. Clair filed the petitions in Manhattan Supreme Court on Friday, seeking to establish Musk as the father of her son, referred to as R.S.C. in court documents. She also requests sole custody of the child.
According to the filings, Musk met the child three times: twice in Manhattan for a total of three hours and once in Texas for 30 minutes. The last visit was on November.
The court documents include screenshots of text messages between St Clair and Musk. In one exchange, Musk allegedly wrote, "I want to knock you up again," and in another, he said, "Well, we do have a legion of kids to make." Musk also acknowledged the child's birth and expressed concerns about security threats, stating, "If I make a mistake on security, R.S.C. will never know his father."
The 31-year-old publicly revealed Musk as the father of her child on Valentine's Day, on social media. Musk has not publicly acknowledged the child or the lawsuit
St Clair left Musk's name off the birth certificate due to security concerns, citing Musk's claim of receiving credible death threats every day. The social media influencer and Musk began their romantic relationship in May 2023.
Musk has 12 children with three different women, and this child would be his 13th.
Grimes, Musk's ex-partner and mother of three of his children, publicly pleaded with Musk to respond to messages concerning their child's medical crisis. This occurred shortly before news of St. Clair's court filings.
Apple has removed its Advanced Data Protection (ADP) feature for iCloud data in the United Kingdom following a government order demanding backdoor access to encrypted user data.
The UK government issued a technical capability notice under the Investigatory Powers Act of 2016, requiring Apple to provide access to encrypted iCloud data, which would have compromised the end-to-end encryption for users worldwide.
Apple has disabled ADP for new users in the UK and will eventually require existing users to disable it manually.
This move affects iCloud data such as photos, notes, messages, and device backups, but does not impact iMessage, FaceTime, password management, and health data, which remain end-to-end encrypted.
Apple has stated that it is "gravely disappointed" and remains committed to offering the highest level of security for users' personal data.
In a statement by Apple spokesperson Fred Sainz said the company’s Advanced Data Protection feature will no longer be available to new users and current U.K. users “will eventually need to disable this security feature.”
“We are gravely disappointed that the protections provided by ADP will not be available to our customers in the U.K. given the continuing rise of data breaches and other threats to customer privacy,” the company said. “Enhancing the security of cloud storage with end-to-end encryption is more urgent than ever before."
The UK government's demand is controversial, as it would have provided access to data from users worldwide without their knowledge or consent
Privacy advocates and tech experts have criticized the UK government's actions, noting that the move undermines user privacy and security
