From that same article:
The startup highlighted its progress since May in its blog post, including its launch of Colossus — the world's largest AI supercomputer powered by 100,000 Nvidia Hopper GPUs, which xAI plans to double in size to 200,000 chips soon.
xAI also released version two of Grok, an application programming interface (API) for developers to build on its platform, its Aurora image generation model for Grok, and Grok on X.

Nvidia $NVDA - Market Movers
By: TrendSpider | December 22, 2024
• While NVIDIA showed resilience last week, AMD continued to struggle, underperforming the market with a 6% decline. Now trading over 47% off its 52-week highs and at its cheapest valuation in years, the stock continues to face selling pressure. However, price is nearing a long-term POC at $108/share, an area that may finally attract buyers, offering potential support in the weeks ahead.

Hello AO, in reference to your PM,
I have RGT*, and ION*
Done well with both first two of them, as of this time.
Both in a well balanced Port. Doing fine.
Furthermore, I also swing trade with part of my shares of ION* profitably: overall +600%
Nvidia is involved as partners with both of these, as well as few others.
Happy Holidays & GLTY

We had that in Composite Technology but it was sold to a group of Russian investors.

Russian Firms Team Up To Buy Composite Technology Assets
Submitted by global.abi.org on Thu, 08/11/2011 - 07:00
Russian conglomerates Kaskol and RU-COM will increase their energy holdings by together acquiring Composite Technology Corp.'s assets out of its U.S. bankruptcy proceeding in a deal valued at more than $11 million, Dow Jones Daily Bankruptcy Review reported. The Russian companies' joint venture, called CTC Acquisition Corp., will pay $1 million in cash and take on the responsibility for at least $10.5 million of Composite Technology's liabilities, according to a purchase agreement filed Tuesday with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Santa Ana., Calif.

Looks like the Russians get the technology and patents which can be applied for other uses. How does Congress allow such events to occur?
While I got out of this several years ago, I hate to see the technology lost to others.

ACCC® Conductor of CTC
ACCC® conductor consists of a hybrid carbon and glass fiber core which is stranded with trapezoidal shaped aluminum strands. The high strength structural core carries most of the conductor’s mechanical load, while the fully annealed aluminum strands carry all of the conductor’s electrical current. The patented composite core is manufactured using a proprietary pultrusion process, wherein carbon and glass fibers are impregnated with a “toughened” high-temperature epoxy resin, and pulled through a heated pultrusion die which quickly cures the resin. The resin serves to bond the individual fibers together which helps transfer and share the tensile and shear loads between them. The carbon fibers provide an exceptionally high level of tensile strength and low coefficient of thermal expansion, while the glass fibers improve the core’s flexural strength, provide impact resistance, and prevent a galvanic response between the carbon fibers and the aluminum strands.
ACCC® conductor’s composite core is much lighter and stronger than a conventional or high-strength steel core. Its lighter weight allows the incorporation of 25% to 30% more aluminum (conductive material) without any weight penalty. Using compact trapezoidal shaped aluminum strands avoids any diameter penalty. Together, the conductor provides higher line capacity and lower line losses, and, coupled with the ACCC® conductor’s greater strength; fewer structures are required for new lines. Furthermore, the ACCC® conductor has significantly reduced thermal sag, which allows much higher temperature operation, which increases the power capacity of the line.
