Grok 4.5 by @SpaceXAI is the most neutral AI model out there. Almost perfectly balanced between the political Left and Right.

No other model comes even close to its neutrality. Fantastic achievement, and much harder to pull off than most would realize!

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

SpaceX has just officially unveiled its AI1 satellite, the first generation of its AI satellite.

Overall Specs:
• 150 kW peak compute payload
• 120 kW average compute payload
• 70 kW per ton
• Compute provider interchangeable

Dimensions:
• Wingspan: 70 meters
• Deployed height: 20 meters

Thermal System:
• 110 m² deployable liquid radiator
• Redundant pumping loops
• Integrated micrometeoroid shielding
• Deployable liquid radiators

Solar Power System:
• 150 kW solar array
• 250 W/m²
• SpaceX-manufactured solar technology from Bastrop, Texas

Architecture:
• Centralized compute module
• Large deployable solar arrays
• Deployable liquid-radiator thermal management system
• AI-focused compute satellite design ("AI1 satellite")

Elon: "The AI satellite is much simpler than a Starlink satellite. The AI satellite is essentially a lot of solar cells, you still need some laser links, but you don't have all of the super complex antennas that you have on a Starlink satellite. The easier one to design for is the AI satellite. It's bigger. A lot of this is technology we've already made with the Starlink V3 satellites."

We want to make sure that you have choice when it comes to models. We want you to have access to the best and the latest. Our commitment is to bring it. That's why we're excited that we're bringing SpaceX's AI models available in Cortex. #SnowflakeSummit

Liftoff of Starship!

Key to winning:

Choose to be positive and grateful. Then, just keep at it. Time is the great compounder and will do the rest.

So many people just don’t have the discipline to stay positive and grateful. Then time compounds the bitterness instead.

Did xAI just mass-murder the entire voice AI industry? 🤯

Grok just launched two voice APIs. Speech-to-Text and Text-to-Speech.

Built on the same stack powering Tesla cars and Starlink support.

And priced at 10x cheaper than ElevenLabs.

Speech-to-Text: $0.10/hr batch. $0.20/hr streaming.

Text-to-Speech: $4.20 per million characters.

25+ languages. Real-time streaming. Speaker diarization.

Already outperforming ElevenLabs, Deepgram, and AssemblyAI on word error rate.

TTS ships with expressive tags like [laugh], [sigh], <whisper>, <emphasis>.

Voices that don't sound like robots reading a script.

ElevenLabs spent years building a voice AI company.

xAI built voice AI for cars and satellites.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@techdevnotes Supplemental training has been added to 4.3.

Grok 4.4 will be twice the size (1T) with training data through early April. Probably ready for release in early May.

Grok 4.5 will be 1.5T and hopefully out by late May.

xAI NEWS: Yesterday evening, xAI held an invitation-only Mid-Atlantic Grok Xperience event at the Tesla Tysons Corner Showroom and Service Center in the Washington D.C. area.

It was a packed room with leaders like Jennifer Taylor, President & CEO of the Northern Virginia Technology Councill. She spoke and welcomed xAI to the D.C. AI community.

Scott Ryan (@Scotttryan7), xAI Go-To-Market Enterprise Lead for the Mid-Atlantic, hosted the event and featured live Grok Enterprise demos with the native multi-agent architecture (4-16 agents), lowest token cost, lowest hallucination rate in the industry, and 2M token context window.

Attendees were also given Tesla FSD demos.

Elon Musk just announced that @xAI’s Colossus 2 is now operational, marking it as the world’s first gigawatt-scale AI training cluster!

According to @elonmusk, the system is already running at 1GW, with plans to scale up to 1.5GW by April. The sheer power demand puts it on a level typically reserved for major cities, signaling a massive escalation in the hardware race to train the next generation AI, Grok 5.

GOOD NEWS 🚨 Prominent tech investor Jason Calacanis recently secured rare access to Tesla's "Optimus Lab", and the glimpse he got of the future left him absolutely stunned 🤖

"I saw Optimus 3. I can tell you now: nobody will remember that Tesla ever made a car. They will only remember Optimus. It is going to be the most transformative technology product ever made in the history of humanity. I believe there will be a one-to-one ratio of humans to Optimus, and I think Elon's already won."
