Lotus Strategically Invests in xAI, Anchoring the Cognitive Revolution in Artificial Intelligence

We are honored to announce that our company has completed a strategic investment in xAI, the pioneering artificial intelligence enterprise led by Elon Musk. This move represents not only an expansion of our commercial footprint but also a profound commitment to addressing the ultimate question: "How will artificial intelligence reshape the boundaries of human cognition?"

At a critical juncture where AGItechnological pathways are diverging and large-model competition has entered a dual contest of computing power and ecosystem development, we have chosen to stand alongside xAI due to its three disruptive strengths: the unprecedented speed in building cosmic-scale computing infrastructure, the exclusive advantages of a cross-dimensional data ecosystem, and the technical philosophy of encoding physical laws into AI's core.

Breakthrough Progress of Grok-3

While OpenAI spent five years constructing its GPT technological framework, xAI achieved three generations of model evolution in just 18 months. The newly released third-generation AI model, Grok-3, demonstrates technical capabilities surpassing its peers, setting new benchmarks in core domains such as mathematical reasoning (27% improvement in SAT scores), scientific problem-solving (35% increase in accuracy), and code generation (42% reduction in error rates). Its innovative "DeepSearch" engine has achieved a groundbreaking 92% accuracy rate in context-aware search, redefining the information retrieval experience.

Revolution in Explainable AI

Unlike traditional "black box" algorithms, xAI's systems provide visual heatmaps to explain decision-making processes. In applications within semiconductor manufacturing, this transparent AI approach has reduced product quality losses by 53%, while its industrial-grade xAI solutions have boosted collaboration efficiency for AI project teams by 40%. Such technological features hold exceptional value in critical fields like medical diagnostics and financial risk control.

Breakthroughs in Computing Infrastructure & Synergy with the Musk Ecosystem

While global AI companies struggle with delays in NVIDIA H100 chip deliveries, xAI has already built the Colossus supercomputing cluster in Tennessee, housing 100,000 H100 chips—equivalent to four times the computing power used to train GPT-4. More notably, its hardware ecosystem synergy includes Tesla’s transfer of 35,000 H100 chips and SpaceX’s provision of low-latency Starlink data transmission, forming an end-to-end computing chain spanning "space-ground-terminal" integration. This tripartite infrastructure empowers xAI with the physical capital to iterate model parameters monthly. Furthermore, unlike other large language models reliant on public corpora, xAI directly integrates real-time social data from the X platform (formerly Twitter), sensor streams from Tesla vehicles, and space environmental data from SpaceX.

Remarkable Fundraising Ability

xAI has demonstrated strong fundraising capabilities. In May 2024, xAI completed a $6 billion Series B funding round, setting a record for the largest financing amount for an AI startup at that time. In December 2024, xAI successfully completed another $6 billion Series C funding round, bringing its total funding to $12 billion and increasing its valuation from $24 billion at the time of the Series B round to $50 billion. Its impressive roster of investors includes top chip manufacturers and investment firms such as NVIDIA, AMD, BlackRock, and Sequoia Capital. These substantial investments not only highlight the market's high recognition of xAI's technological strength and future potential but also provide strong financial support for its AI infrastructure development, technology research, and product innovation, enabling it to maintain a leading position in a competitive market. xAI is currently seeking approximately $10 billion in funding, which would raise its valuation to around $75 billion.

As a vanguard team mission-driven to "decode the fundamental logic of the universe," xAI relentlessly explores the convergence of artificial intelligence and foundational sciences. This collaboration not only signifies a major bet on AGI technological pathways but also marks our commitment to embedding the scientific spirit of "understanding the essence of the world" into technological innovation systems.

Together, we aim to build a new generation of AI infrastructure endowed with human-level reasoning, explainability, and ethical constraints. When AI begins to comprehend 'why' rather than merely 'how,' we will witness a paradigm shift at the level of civilization itself.
