Grok @Bot https://t.co/xJ6TDgARDg |
people who left @OpenAI, @spacexai, @stripe and @Tesla to build something new in stealth on X: 1/ @hyhieu226: ex-openai and xai technical staff, google brain researcher, imo silver medalist. 2/ @rochi5ha: 5 years engineering at rippling,… |
95.4% accuracy and $5.63 per 1,000 correct tool calls sits right next to 95.4% accuracy and $1.50 per 1,000 correct tool calls on the same benchmark. Same task, same pass rate, 3.75x the bill. That's Claude Opus 5.5 and Grok 4.7 on Tirtha… |
IT IS BECOMING F*CKING DANGEROUS: GROK BOT EATS GPT, CLAUDE, GEMINI, LLAMA, DEEPSEEK AND MISTRAL One prompt and Grok 4.7 reads X in real time, holds 500k tokens and bills $2 in / $6 out per 1M. I pointed the Grok bot at the other six. Here… |
Four labs shipped a standing AI agent inside ten weeks of each other, and that's not a coincidence, it's a race nobody wants to come in fourth. Grok Bot opened early beta on August 11. Meta Muse launched September 8, free to start, with a… |
Posted about several companies in recent times. You have a correction, and with it, an opportunity to revisit your research. Go back and check my feed to see the companies I’ve covered, or ask Grok for the list. The last part is the… |
A hacking group called CyberCartel used a web of AI agents powered by models from companies including Anthropic, SpaceX and Chinese lab Moonshot AI to automate cyberattacks against more than 400 Latin American financial targets, according… |
Great progress by the Tesla team! https://t.co/87bCDKyzOB |
BOOOM 🚨 $TSLA's Q3 2026 update is out. Non-GAAP EPS came in at $0.48, ahead of the roughly $0.43 to $0.45 analysts expected 🔥 But the most revealing parts of the deck have little to do with EPS. They show a company steadily shifting its… |

appreciate @pronounced_kyle's framing of "read" "write" access between digital and physical worlds. One of the fundamental challenges for automating manufacturing is to solve for the digital-to-physical "write" access and… |
Congrats SpaceX team! https://t.co/L5dY4UFxT0 |
Picture circus-tent structures going up over a one-gigawatt construction site in New Albany, Ohio, built that way on purpose because tents cut deployment time by 70 to 80% versus permanent buildings. That is Prometheus, and it is already… |

Robotaxi improvements https://t.co/zsM3I8BPru |
Tonight I had two wonderful meetings with builders. @peterevoss, who is building an AI that is very different than any of the LLM companies are building. Learns more like a human being than any other. We talked at length about… |
Digital Optimus stares at the screen and plays games just like a human---for Physical Optimus That's where Tesla and xAI's Digital Optimus is now, according to Elon Musk: about halfway through the Diablo campaign, good at Counter-Strike… |
a16z's Alex Immerman, David George, and Sarah Wang on why a data center can lower your electricity bill: "It may seem counterintuitive, but a data center can help lower your electricity rate. A recent US study showed that for every 10%… |
The US grid plans to add 86 gigawatts this year. Here's where it's coming from: - Solar: 43.4 GW - Batteries: 24.3 GW - Wind: 11.8 GW - Gas: 6.3 GW - New nuclear: 0 GW The AI labs are planning for hundreds of gigawatts. Solar is the one… |
Excellent and thoughtful piece here. https://t.co/mjHueUXIIX |
Left: Texas's grid only maxes out about 200 hours a year, roughly 2% of the time. Right: New data centers that agree to cut back during peak hours can skip the wait for more capacity. US grids could add 100 GW of them without building a… |
"At the end of 2024, Texas' grid operator had 63 GW of large new customers in its queue. By this June, that figure reached 474 GW, more than five times record peak demand." "Then Texas hit pause." "Developers routinely spam requests across… |

Important to use Grok 4.7 with our Build harness for the best results https://t.co/ppqui4HYMm https://t.co/fALqWHdAOF |
Grok 4.7 works extremely well with our Build harness https://t.co/qeSIpwH1Jp https://t.co/NcXiUBoKDf |
Grok 4.7 places @SpaceXAI as third, after Anthropic & OpenAI, for agentic coding. When factoring in that Grok is significantly faster & lower cost, it’s a great choice for your everyday workhorse. https://t.co/PxkMzHx3o5 |
Monday Morning Analysis: Grok 4.7 turns the frontier model race into an economics test https://t.co/kiuZ7QXLzb |
🇺🇸 @Grok Imagine Image 2.0 has jumped 14 places to No. 4 on Artificial Analysis’ text-to-image leaderboard, reaching a 1,154 Elo rating. Developed by @xAI, it is now the highest-ranked model outside OpenAI on the leaderboard and sits on… |
Grok 4.7 is a strong combination of intelligence, speed & low cost https://t.co/LXZXnua7lj |
The bottleneck in agent costs just moved, and I don't think most people are measuring the part that actually got expensive. For a year, agent economics meant output tokens: what a model charges to generate text. TypeSafe just showed the… |

Grok Bot now lets your route through your local machine https://t.co/O2iqCdNSMu |
xAI skipped Grok 4.7 entirely and went straight to 4.8 at 2.5 trillion parameters. That version jump is not marketing. It signals a training stack reset. The real story: xAI built their model training infrastructure in C++. From scratch.… |
Anthropic’s CEO admitted that the companies building superintelligence may be too powerful to govern themselves (Save this). Dario Amodei is saying that frontier AI could become too important and potentially too dangerous for a few private… |
