SI Grok 4 training cost $ 490 million and consumed energy like a city for 4,000 people

Yevgeny Demkivsky Author of news Mezha.media and GIK. I write about technologies, cinema and games. Perhaps about games with a little more passion.

Epoch AI estimates, Grok 4 training cost XAI Ilona Muska about $ 490 million – it is nine times more expensive than Meta Llama 3 training.

Colossus is now considered the largest Shi -Supercomputer in the world. It consists of more than 200,000 NVIDIA graphic processors (H100, H200 and the latest GB200), and the plans are scaling up to one million GPU. Date-centers are cooled by local wastewater processing infrastructure, while the level of electricity consumption is hundreds of millions of kW.

According to estimates, Grok 4 training required about 310 million kWh of electricity (equivalent to the annual consumption of the town for 4000 people), 750 million liters of water for cooling (300 Olympic pools) and led to emissions about 140 thousand tons of CO₂ – as in the BOE.

XAI positions Grok 4 as the “smartest model in the world” capable of solving complex mathematical and scientific tasks, programming and working with a great context. The Grok 4 Code version is focused on developers and provides extended opportunities for auto -filling and adjustment of the software code.

By the way, after the release of the model, it became known that Grok 4 is focused on Ilona Mask’s public statements when forming answers to sensitive topics.
