SemiAnalysis Says SpaceXSI Finished Its MiniHard Data Center in About 5 Months, About Half the Usual Build Time (opens the post on X)

BREAKING: SpaceXSI completes MiniHard construction in just ~5 months, with Gun Range targeting a ~4-month build. According to SemiAnalysis, SpaceXSI is roughly halving construction timelines while most comparable projects face 8–12 month builds. • MiniHard: Construction finished in approximately 5 months. • Gun Range: The new site just south of the Tennessee–Mississippi state line is targeting approximately 4 months of construction. • Colossus 1: Its first retrofit delivered 150 MW of capacity in 122 days. • Colossus 2: A subsequent retrofit delivered 210 MW in just 91 days. • Project SPAM: Work started October 5, with the first capacity targeted for December. • Massive expansion: SemiAnalysis projects the Memphis–Mississippi campus will grow from 0.4 GW of IT capacity in January to 2.4 GW by the end of 2026. That would be a sixfold increase in one year. • Five major projects: The expansion spans Macrohard, MiniHard, Macroharder, Project SPAM and Gun Range. • Tesla powering the scale: SemiAnalysis reports 1,377 Tesla Megapacks across Colossus 2, providing nearly 6 GWh of battery storage. The construction timelines and capacity forecasts are SemiAnalysis estimates, with future milestones still targets. Elon Musk’s teams are bringing extraordinary speed and scale to the infrastructure powering AI.
