xAI is Elon Musk's AI lab behind the Grok models.
Google and xAI win the federal front door with America.gov
A White House executive order hands Gemini and Grok the job of routing 100 million Americans to government services, with completion tools promised for 2027.
OpenAI's GPT-6 Sol launch charts were out of date before they published them
Every benchmark chart in OpenAI's own announcement measures Sol against Claude Opus 5. Anthropic had already retired that model 90 minutes earlier.
Anthropic said slow down. Ten days later it shipped its fastest, cheapest model yet.
Every number in this launch — the benchmarks, the safety scores, the '40% cheaper' claim — comes from Anthropic. Here's what's actually been checked.
xAI's 'same price' pitch on Grok 4.7 skips the part where the bill doubles
Same $2/$6 sticker as Grok 4.6. The number xAI didn't put on the launch page: roughly 81,000 tokens to finish a task that used to take 36,000.
Antitrust suit tests whether AI labs can jointly agree to slow down
Four subscribers accuse Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and SpaceXAI of colluding on a "pace the frontier" pact that denied them product improvements.
Grok 4.6 on Wednesday. Gemini 3.7 Flash on Thursday. Nobody shipped a flagship.
Google's third Flash model in six weeks lands one day after xAI's Grok 4.6, while the actual Gemini 3.5 Pro sits on a fourth missed deadline. Read the calendar, not the press release.
Grok 4.6 is priced like a challenger because it is one
$2/$6 for index parity with a $5/$30 model. That's not generosity — it's what you charge when your brand can't command a premium.
Musk's Terafab lands $16.8bn first phase, far below earlier $55bn talk
Tesla and SpaceX confirmed a Texas chip campus that could eventually run to $119 billion, but the opening commitment is a fraction of what county filings once suggested.
Grok 4.5 'beats Opus' on exactly zero benchmarks
Musk shipped a 1.5-trillion-parameter model to his own engineers and called it a winner. No system card, no leaderboard, no outsiders allowed.
xAI's new model animates one photo into video — 'preview' is the word doing the work
Cinematic video from a single still, at 720p, in preview. Impressive — and genuinely unfinished.
Musk says Grok V9 is trained. We've heard this tune.
A finished-training tweet is not a shipped model — especially from xAI.
