Supermicro CEO Charles Liang announced that Supermicro will support SpaceX in building a new gigawatt-scale AI data center by 2027, positioning it as fastest build timeline.
Supermicro CEO Charles Liang announced that the company will collaborate on construction of a new gigawatt-scale AI data center for SpaceX and XAI, with an accelerated timeline that will mark the fastest build in Supermicro's history.
In a statement posted to social media on June 12, 2026, Liang wrote: "A big congratulations to SpaceX's greatest IPO and proud to co-build another new Gigawatt AI datacenter for @SpaceX and @XAI within a year! This will be our fastest TTO yet, and easily one of the biggest and most advanced datacenters in the world!"
The facility's time-to-operation will be compressed compared to Colossus 2, Supermicro's previous major project, which required approximately one year to reach operational status. Liang characterized the new project as "the fastest build they have ever done," indicating the company expects to complete construction and deployment well ahead of the one-year benchmark.
The data center represents a significant expansion of infrastructure supporting AI workloads across SpaceX and XAI, positioning it among the world's largest and most advanced computing facilities.
