On Tuesday, Oracle stock dipped following reports that it is no longer in talks with Elon Musk’s xAI startup for a cloud-computing expansion deal.
It fell by -3.00% to $140.68 per share on July 09. However, it is expected to rise by 0.25% to $141.03 apiece in after-hours.
Analysts mentioned that the startup and Oracle closed talks about expanding an existing arrangement involving Nvidia. xAI has been renting the company’s artificial intelligence (AI) chips from the cloud provider.
According to reports, the server, which could be worth up to $10.00 billion, aims to train large language models.
Elon Musk said xAI is establishing a system with Nvidia’s H100 graphics processing units to boost completion time.
Also, sources stated that the firm regularly discussed its infrastructure needs with customers about the upcoming capacity and with xAI.
Experts mentioned that a multi-year agreement to rent Nvidia processors from Oracle strategizing about a supercomputer was underway. However, talks were delayed due to the billionaire’s demands for an almost impossible building speed for the company.
In addition, the corporation raised concerns that Musk’s chosen location had inadequate power supply. On the other hand, xAI already has a deal to run AI models in Oracle’s Gen2 Cloud.
