DELL Technologies is in advanced stages of securing a deal worth more than US$5 billion to provide Elon Musk’s xAI with servers optimised for artificial intelligence (AI) work.

The company will sell servers containing Nvidia GB200 semiconductors to Musk’s AI startup for delivery this year, according to sources familiar with the matter, who asked to not to be named because the work is private. Some details are being finalised and still may change, some of the sources added.

Demand for computing to run AI workloads has led to a boom for makers of high-powered servers such as Dell, Super Micro Computer and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Musk’s companies, including carmaker Tesla and xAI, have emerged as major customers for the hardware.

Dell and Nvidia declined to comment. xAI did not respond to a request for comment.

Dell shares jumped as much as 6 per cent to US$116.88 on Friday (Feb 14) on the news before paring some gains. The stock had slipped 4.3 per cent this year to Thursday’s close.

A supercomputer project being built by xAI in Memphis has used a mix of Dell and Super Micro servers. In December, Dell said it had deployed tens of thousands of graphics processing units, or GPUs, there and was working to win an “unfair share” of the remaining build-out. GPUs are the key chips to power AI workloads and Nvidia is the top maker of those processing units.

Analysts expect Dell will have shipped more than US$10 billion of AI servers in the fiscal year ending last month and project that value will jump to US$14 billion in the fiscal year ending in January 2026. Dell is scheduled to report fiscal fourth-quarter earnings on Feb 27, with the AI server business a major focus for investors.

The deal with xAI “would firmly establish the company as a leading AI-server provider and boost sales, though the impact on profitability is less clear”, wrote Woo Jin Ho, an analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence.

AI startup xAI’s main product, a chatbot called Grok, has primarily been available to paying users of X, the social network formerly known as Twitter. Firms that Musk runs are known to share employees, technology and computing power. BLOOMBERG
