Grok foundation model V9-Medium (1.5T) has finished training. Evals look good. A lot of Cursor data was added in supplementary training and there is more to come.
Fine-tuning is underway and reinforcement learning begins in a few days. 2 to 3 weeks to public release.
This will be a major improvement over the 0.5T v8-small that currently serves all Grok production traffic, especially for difficult coding tasks.
Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas

Made a reader edition of Magnifica Humanitas, Pope Leo XIV's encyclical on AI bc the Vatican site is hard to nav.
It includes Tufte-style marginalia for the Vatican's footnotes + 78 Claude editorial annotations w/ Wikipedia links, and an optional silly little attention overlay.
On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying. I’ll always be grateful to our fallen heroes and their families, whose sacrifice reminds us of what it means to live for something greater than ourselves.
Today, among the goods that are universally intended for everyone, we must also include new forms of property, such as patents, algorithms, digital platforms, technological infrastructure and data. In a context where the wealth of nations depends increasingly on knowledge and technology, when these goods remain concentrated in the hands of a few, without adequate forms of sharing and access, a new imbalance is created that contradicts the universal destination of goods. In turn, it widens the gap between the included and the excluded, between those who can participate in the digital revolution and those who remain on the margins. #MagnificaHumanitas
NEW: House Oversight Chairman James Comer is opening an investigation into whether users on Polymarket and Kalshi used nonpublic information to profit from prediction markets.
In letters sent to Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan and Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour, Comer says the Committee is examining potential insider trading tied to online betting platforms and whether users may have bypassed U.S. regulations through offshore access.
“Internal records held by prediction market platforms are the only means by which bad actors can be identified,” Comer wrote while demanding documents on user verification, geographic restrictions, and suspicious trading activity.
Pope Leo XIV says the AI age and our response to it is an essential theme for the Church, as she seeks to help everyone grow to full maturity.
