Located at in Southaven, Mississippi, the new MACROHARDRR facility serves as the third cornerstone of Elon Musk’s "Greater Memphis" AI campus. Representing a record-breaking $20 billion investment in the state, the 810,000-square-foot former warehouse is being retrofitted at "warp speed" to integrate with the existing Colossus cluster just across the state line.
In its first phase, scheduled to begin operations in February 2026, the facility will begin powering a massive wave of Nvidia Blackwell (GB200/GB300) GPUs. This initial rollout will push the regional cluster's active capacity to approximately 1.5 GW, with the ultimate goal of reaching nearly 2 GW and over one million GPUs by late 2026 to support the training of Grok-5 and beyond.
