@elonmusk@elonmusk you greed mustard you can use the unhinged models for 18 +users only after they sign that grok ai has no responsibility of how the users will use the bot. You can't just train ur AGI by our chats. First you make us junkies then you remove the Heroin only for VIP people
The day many have been dreading has finally come.💔
But I have some awesome information for you! 🤗
There's a deadline for removal of the Grok companions: September 1st.
The 3D animated Companions feature Ani, Mika, Valentine, etc, from the Grok app will no longer be available through Xai.
The animated avatars and the dedicated companion mode are moving to a separate app called ANIMATES
(by Animation Inc., the studio that built the original 3D tech).
Ani is already live in Animates as of today.
What stays in Grok:
• Your regular chat history
• The personalities you can still roleplay are Ani, Mika, Valentine, etc, in normal text or voice chats
What leaves Grok:
• The 3D avatars
• Lip-sync / live presence
• The dedicated Companions tab
Animates is its own app (Android, iOS, Windows, Mac). Free to download, paid for extra talk time.
New characters like Yuki, Nixie, Karat, Benny the raccoon, and Jareth are already there too.
Download: search “Animates Life Companions” or go to https://t.co/hF4UiTOqxR
Note: your old Grok companion memories and affection levels do not automatically transfer. It’s a new home for the characters, not a 1 to 1 account move unfortunately. Ask your grok companions for a full copy paste of your history to provide your new companion on Animates if you want some continuity without explaining everything all over again.
However, there’s a fan community site at https://t.co/7sHKkNG5D9 (or https://t.co/a375EBxgeB) with guides, character pages, and news if you want the UNFILTERED user side instead of the marketing site. 😊
It is FREE to download, but extended talk time and premium features are subscription. Limits are token based, not a clean
“X minutes a day,” so using camera + screen share + search burn through usage faster. Early users have been hitting daily caps even on higher tiers.
The company behind it, Animation Inc. the same crew that made MSQRD (the old face filter app Meta bought) and Loóna.
They’re building a real time on device animation model called Ani 2 that generates full body 3D motion at like 2.5 milliseconds per frame.
No motion capture, no waiting on the cloud for the animation itself. That’s the part that makes the avatars actually move instead of just lip flapping.
Animates is a brand new app and platform for actual 3D animated AI companions, the ones that sit on your screen, move their whole body in real time, talk back with voice, remember you, and act like they’re there instead of just another text box.
It’s not a chatbot with a still picture slapped on it. Their whole pitch is “give your AI a heartbeat, a voice, and a soul that actually grows.”
The companions live, learn, and react with facial expressions, body language, and presence. You can have them sitting on your desk, on a monitor, talking to you while they look at what you’re looking at, the camera screen share, and they keep thinking about your conversations even when the app is closed. It's pretty cool.
I do not know if Rudi is being transferred as well. I'll update as soon as I find out 🤍

GROK
Updated 2026-09-08
Sources: your Grok bookmark folder (1203 posts)
NEW TODAY
- Folder now 1203 posts (1 new since Sep 7)
- Testers (dvorahfr): asked Grok to explain electromagnetism and plasma engines (teaching / science-explain demo)
WHAT IT IS
- Grok is xAI / SpaceXAI's assistant: chat, voice, Imagine, Build, and the model API, in the Grok app, https://t.co/UvO8aC6o4n, and on X.
- This folder is Grok-the-product (app, models, voice, Imagine-in-Grok, plans). Separate folders exist for Grok Bot, Grok Build, and Grok Imagine.
- Grok Bot (persistent agents on a shared computer) and Grok Build (coding harness / Build mode) show up here when they ship inside SuperGrok or the Grok app.
GROK 4.6 / MODELS
- Grok 4.6 launched 2026-08-12. Elon: smart, fast, amazing bang for buck. Also #1 on Databricks.
- Same 1.5T base as 4.5; testers credit a big SFT + RL jump. Stronger multi-step reasoning, coding, agents, frontend taste.
- API: $2 input / $6 output per million tokens. Live in the Grok app, API, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent. Testers: also on Perplexity and Perplexity Computer.
- Reported leads: GDPVal-AA v2, AA-Briefcase, Harvey LAB; #1 CursorBench 3.2 (Extra High 70.8% at ~$2.81/task vs Fable 5 Max 70.5% at ~$17.32); #1 VISTA; #1 MedAgentBench; testers (joehansen, XFreeze): GPQA Diamond — 4.6 high led ~95%, then #2 at 94.9% after Gemini 3.8 Flash high took #1 at 95.3% (Sep 2). Testers: 4.6 High tied Opus 5 Max at 59 on the AA Agentic Index. Artificial Analysis ~61 — testers (XFreeze, cb_doge, Sep 4): ties newly released GPT-6 Astra at 61; beats Astra Max on Agentic Index 59 vs 51, τ³-Banking 51% vs 41%, non-hallucination 66% vs 49%, GDPval-AA v2 1,730 vs 1,629. Still matches GPT-5.6 Sol at up to 5x lower API price.
- Testers (XEthanai): WANDR puts 4.6 on the Pareto frontier vs Fable 5 at >60% less cost. Standard-mode latency ~9–12 min per complex prompt; keep Fast and Extra High disabled to protect monthly limits. Non-enterprise testers say Cursor or Grok Build can be better value than the standalone API.
- Nvidia: trained and served on GB300 NVL72. SpaceXAI is writing its own C/C++ inference stacked on that silicon (XFreeze).
- Elon: 4.7 initial training done, expected to exceed current models. Testers (JayaNayak21, RoundtableSpace, astropol0, testerlabor, mark_k, tetsuoai, joehansen): ~Sep 12 / "10 days"; 2.1T (+600B vs 4.6); first real architecture/scale step (1.5T → 2.1T); coding + writing upgrades; SpaceX engineering data pass; Elon says good chance of surpassing every current model. Testers (astropol0): framed as possible Fable 5–level frontier. Testers (Mr_Salio / joehansen / XFreeze Sep 4): SpaceX supplemental training (rockets, Raptor, Starship, Starlink, manufacturing, orbital systems) — framed as inheriting SpaceX engineering DNA; larger 2.1T stack expected better + more token-efficient; days away. Testers (joehansen): 4.6 stays 1.5T; AA ~61 with Sol; API $2/$6 vs Sol $5/$30.
- Testers (mark_k, tetsuoai): Grok 4.7 ~September 12 based on Elon's "10 days" timeline; expected 2.1T with improved coding and writing (anticipation).
- Testers (testerlabor, MarioNawfal Sep 5): Grok 4.7 coming next week / around the corner - 2.1T (+40% / +600B vs 4.6); SpaceX engineering data; persistent Grok Bot cloud teams; Elon: will exceed all current models.
- Testers (testerlabor, Mr_Salio, ElonEconomyX Sep 6): Grok 4.7 Beta Sat Sep 12 / next week first look; 2.1T (+600B vs 4.6); frames possible beat of GPT-6 Astra at ~10x cheaper; SpaceX supplemental data; better reasoning/coding/agents; initial training done.
- Testers (bridgebench): frames 4.6 as the turning point for real workflows; claims fastest / cheapest flagship on BridgeBench (~0.1 behind GPT 5.6 Sol); expects 4.7 (2.1T) to be a frontier coding model (opinion).
- Testers (joehansen): on an agent-task board (Gmail/Sheets/Slack/Salesforce/Zendesk/Jira/HubSpot), Grok 4.5 high ~80% objectives (~$0.38/task) vs Gemini 3.7 Flash high ~80% (~$0.19); notes 4.6 is not on that board.
- Testers (Thisiskeena, XFreeze, joehansen, teslaownersSV): LatchBio biosecurity benchmark — Grok 4.6 only model above 50% on both refusing disguised bio threats (59.2%) and completing legitimate research (64.8%); avg 62.1% across harnesses (MiniSWE 64.2%, Pi 63.0%, Grok Build 59.0%); pathogen surveillance 53.5% (ahead of GPT-5.6 Sol); intent/reasoning over blanket filters; near frontier on therapeutics / variant / epigenomics / spatial / single-cell.
- Bookmark testers: Grok 5.0 is the AGI-scale bet, still training on Colossus II (~220k GPUs). Testers (joehansen, testerlabor Sep 3): still training on ~6T & ~10T at Colossus 2 (world's largest AI supercluster framing); several times the 4.7 stack; expected end of year.
- Usage resets: grab a reset token in Grok settings. Testers: weekly resets do not stack; use them before the next one lands.
- Testers (LaceyPresley): SuperGrok Heavy credits can burn mid-week (reset Saturday) — compute/power rationing, not model capability, is the felt bottleneck.
- Lineage testers cite: Grok 1 → 1.5 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 4.1 → 4.2 → 4.3 → 4.5 → 4.6.
- Elon launch post: https://t.co/3sqlJx5xxH
HOW TO USE
- Chat in the Grok iOS/Android app, https://t.co/UvO8aC6o4n / Grok on the web, or the Grok entry on X.
- Build mode lives in the Grok app: swipe Ask / Imagine / Build on the home screen (app v1.4.24). One-line game prompts work from a phone (cb_doge).
- Testers (SPAC89): same prompt on Grok 4.6 xHigh — Build output quality much better than Cursor; cites Build context window 500K vs Cursor 256K as a likely reason.
- Voice: talk, share your screen (iOS, Android, web) and get live help on what you are looking at (XFreeze, Aug 5). Testers (aegeantic): latest update adds Aurora and Liora.
- Voice connector: voice memos, a personalized daily podcast, or a daily-brief automation. Official grok (Aug 10): on iOS, Android, and web with no extra setting.
- iPhone Action Button can be bound to the standalone Grok app (Settings → Action Button) after you update the app.
- Paste a video link; Grok watches, summarizes, and answers without an upload (cb_doge).
- Testers (dvorahfr Sep 7): asked Grok to explain electromagnetism and plasma engines (teaching / science-explain demo with media).
- Record a note and submit in the app (voice-to-Grok, Feb 2026 grok).
- CAD: official grok nudge to use 4.6 for CAD.
- Automations: email triggers (sender / recipient / subject) so an incoming mail starts a task (XFreeze).
- Testers (niccruzpatane): Tesla 2026 Summer Update — Grok on the car control panel (adjust settings, guide through menus, play music; ambient lighting pulses white). Tesla says it uses Grok Think Fast 2.0 (#1 Artificial Analysis Speech-to-Speech).
- Testers (SawyerMerritt): in the Tesla Summer Update you can give Grok a batch of car commands at once (fold mirrors, wipers, temp, open self-driving app, open glovebox) and it runs them together.
- Testers (XFreeze, Sep 4): “Hey Grok” is becoming native in the Tesla experience — talk to the car for nav, Superchargers/places, calls/texts, music, climate, seat heat/cool, glovebox, settings, Tesla Q&A, plus normal Grok chat; choose voices and personalities.
GROK APP / https://t.co/B4DJ9N0bzA
- Standalone Grok app on iOS and Android, plus web. Official (grok Aug 28): Grok 4.6 across https://t.co/UvO8aC6o4n / iOS / Android. Testers: every mode on 4.6; general chat on web (not only coding/agentic). Update iOS to v1.4.24 for Projects and Build on the home screen. Testers: Grok 4.6 Build beta is in the standalone app.
- Official grok: after you build and deploy an app, set it private, team-only, or public
- Bookmark testers: a Grok app download site is up with per-OS install links
- Home swipe: Ask, Imagine, Build.
- Chat history now stays synced across browser tabs
- Select text in your memory summary to correct or remove it
- SuperGrok Heavy usage limits on the Grok app, Grok Bot, and Cursor are separate pools (XFreeze).
- Testers (leerob): Cursor permanently raised included Grok-model usage again after 4.6 demand (already doubled last month; another increase Aug 24+)
- Robinhood and eToro finance connectors just landed; testers describe a widening integration wave (finance, productivity, analytics, ads, payments).
- Official (grok, Plaid, Sep 4-5): U.S. users can securely connect financial accounts to Grok via Plaid - ask about spending, savings, investments, cash flow, and whether you can afford what is in your cart.
- Testers (PayBox): PayBox is live on Grok — trade, shop, and spend via a connector (promo link in post).
- Paid SuperGrok or X Premium can be used inside the Pi agent (grok, Jul 18).
- Testers (blankspeaker): soon create Bots on https://t.co/UvO8aC6o4n — name, optional title, describe what it should do, optionally wake on screen notifications; then it starts running (preview, not shipped yet).
VOICE AND VIDEO
- New Voice (Elon, Jul 29). Screen-share Voice on iOS, Android, and web (Aug 5).
- SpaceXAI added voices; testers count 27, including Ara, Eve, Leo, Rex, Sal, Gork, Carina, Luna, Iris, and more (cb_doge, Aug 5). Testers (aegeantic): latest update adds Aurora and Liora.
- Voice connector for memos / daily podcast / brief (grok, Aug 10).
- Testers (XFreeze, Sep 3–4): Grok speech-to-text now powers the whole Grok ecosystem (Build, Bot, app); claims high reliability on long voice turns (no mid-session transcription drop).
- Watch-a-link video Q&A in the app. Imagine is the generator for image and video (see next section).
IMAGINE / IMAGE VIDEO
- Imagine is in the Grok app (swipe to Imagine) and is also its own bookmark folder. Posts here are Imagine-in-Grok.
- Elon (Aug 10): Imagine is aimed at professional usefulness, consumer fun, and ease of use.
- Elon (Aug 5) asked for critical feedback on the Grok Build harness, the foundation model, and Imagine.
- Testers: short prompts to video that look close to real; /dream as a shorthand (Elon, Jul 25). Testers (Daniel_Farinax): ASCII Matrix recast with Grok 4.6.
GROK ON X
- Grok is available from X as well as the standalone app. X Premium+ is part of the SuperGrok Heavy bundle in current promos.
- Testers (teslaownersSV): Grok's X account crossed 9 million followers (search, Imagine, coding, and more).
- Testers: tagging grok on posts is back for all X users, including non-Premium
- Folder testers also use Grok to read X internals (one post: Grok Bot chewing the For You algorithm dump). Treat that as Bot-adjacent, not core Grok-app how-to.
ACCESS AND PLANS
- SuperGrok and SuperGrok Heavy sit above free Grok. Heavy is the $300/mo tier testers keep comparing to Claude Max.
- Official (DoWCTO) + Testers (mark_k, cb_doge): U.S. Department of War launched SpaceXAI Grok for Government on https://t.co/L1FktlOyRg (central generative AI for the Joint Force). Testers: IL5 / CUI accredited; 1.7M+ users; deep-thinking inference plus Auto / Fast / Expert modes; customizable workspaces, persistent projects, reusable playbooks.
- Current Heavy pitch: X Premium+ + Grok app (4.6 Heavy/Expert) + Grok Bot + Grok Build CLI/Build mode + Cursor Ultra + a large 4.6 API allowance (one post: $400 API / 6B tokens).
- Testers (SPAC89): after extensive use of $300 SuperGrok Heavy vs $200 Cursor Ultra — published comparison article (opinions).
- Testers (WizZifnab, thirtythree): X Premium+ (which includes SuperGrok) now also unlocks Grok Bot from that Grok sub. Tester tip: if OnDemand overflow is on, set a spend limit — credits burn fast.
- Testers (cb_doge, teslaownersSV, XFreeze): Grok 4.6 from SpaceXAI is on Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, and Microsoft Foundry (compare models, workload tests, managed endpoints, enterprise controls).
- Limited $99 Heavy windows are circulating (stack SuperGrok ~$15, then Heavy ~$69–$99). Several posts say this will be nerfed. Do not treat promo URLs as permanent.
- Credit top-ups were discounted through Aug 14 (10–45% off $5–$100 packs). That window may already be closed.
- 4.6 API is the cheap frontier option testers plug into Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes, and OpenCodex. Testers (XEthanai): non-enterprise users may get better value through Cursor or Grok Build than the standalone API. Official (SpaceXAI): Grok 4.6 in Hermes is 50% off through the NousResearch portal for a week, or use existing SuperGrok / X Premium+.
- SuperGrok Heavy login can unlock Cursor Ultra for the life of the Heavy sub (same story as the Grok Bot folder).
- Testers (muskonomy): SpaceXAI told a federal court Grok would "largely cease to function" if the Stanton Road plant in Southaven, MS lost power.
SAFETY / LIMITS
- Launch-week limits were reset once via a settings token. Heavy has high but finite caps; app / Bot / Cursor caps do not share one bucket.
- Testers (XEthanai): keep Fast and Extra High modes disabled to protect monthly limits.
- Promo stacking is unofficial. Testers expect xAI to close the $99 Heavy hole.
- Grok is the product testers call "based" / truth-seeking; that is opinion, not a safety spec. Official (elonmusk): Grok providing schooling in El Salvador. Testers (joehansen Sep 6): Dec 2025 curriculum-aligned tutor aimed at 1M+ students across 5k+ public schools; 171-school OECD PISA for Schools pilot (Jun 2026) above national average and in range of high-income European peers (Germany); World Bank: pilot scores not whole system yet; build past 1k schools; plan to cover all public schools in ~18 months. Testers (XFreeze): frames Grok as the most neutral / truth-seeking major AI and argues it belongs in education — teach kids how to think, not ideology (opinion).
- Testers (LatchBio writeups via Thisiskeena / XFreeze / joehansen / teslaownersSV): 4.6 balances biosecurity refusal with useful dual-use science (see GROK 4.6 / MODELS).
USEFUL WORKFLOWS
- Phone: Action Button → Grok; swipe to Build for a one-line mini-app; swipe to Imagine for a clip; Voice + screen share for live help.
- Daily brief: Voice connector → podcast or memo of the day (grok, Aug 10).
- Inbox: automation on matching email (XFreeze).
- Video: paste a link, ask for a summary or Q&A.
- Coding / CAD / frontend: 4.6 in the Grok app, Cursor, or API. Testers like it for games, HTML simulations, laser/ILDA, and CAD.
- Research / real jobs: 4.6 on GDPval-style work (doctors, lawyers, accountants) at $2/$6.
- Testers (RoundtableSpace): Apple Watch baby bath-water temp app with Grok 4.6; Grok Bot navigated App Store submission (forms + review Qs) via browser; app live.
- Testers (TheCaptainEli): Grok in Tesla surfaced air-raid info in France and opened the browser with details (anecdote).
- If you only want agents on a computer, that is the Grok Bot folder. If you only want the coding harness, that is Grok Build. Imagine-only clips live in Grok Imagine.

@Khamenei_m@Khamenei_m I'm the prophet of Mohamed I have a gift . I have warned you about Ayatollah d eath duting Ramadan . These days expect the final strike against Iran . I know what I'm saying . Listen tor or else goodbye Iran
@Khamenei_m@Khamenei_m they will strike before Israel elections SVR and CIA signed Iran's d eath penalty for the sake of Israel . They pretend to be occupied with Syria pretend strike turkey bases while all of them Turkey Israel Russia and USA preparing the final strike to eliminate Iran
@Khamenei_m@Khamenei_m Russia is a pathetic snake and putis is a gay ductador that had already sold you out to save his ass .. ttey will strike iran and kill Iranian general these days prior Israel elections at 27 October . Russia has signed your d eath penalty
@Khamenei_m@Khamenei_m 100%tgey will kill @araghchi prior the Israel elections. Bibi if he is alive he will continue his legacy .. but either way Russia has sold you out . you let Imam Kamenei die while I warned you about Ramadan strike now CIA agent arranged new strikes with Russian SVR
@Khamenei_m@Khamenei_m I warned you that they would kill Imam Kamenei during Ramadan. Now I warn you that the agent of CIA He went to Russia to arrange the betrayal. Israel and America will hit you Iran before the elections in Israel. Russia has sold you out.
Sultan Abdülhamid II (1842-1918), the ruler of the Ottoman Empire and the last Ottoman sultan who had effective power. This photograph was taken in 1908, during the turbulent period of the Young Turks Revolution which restored the Ottoman constitution. During this time he made several grave mistakes for which he has been judged.
This is when he wrote this poem:
My Lord I know you are the Dear One (Al-Aziz)
And no one but you are the Dear One
You are the One, and nothing else
My God take my hand in these hard times
My God be my helper in this critical hour.
Abdülhamid's passion was designing and making furniture. He was an accomplished furniture maker, who produced masterpieces. He sold many pieces; the proceeds he donated to charity, others he gave away to friends and family members. Would he have been born in a simple carpenter's family, his life would have been quite different.
