Introducing Grok 4.6.

It delivers frontier intelligence and is a significant improvement over Grok 4.5 at the same price.

@ParsaTajik @SpaceXAI Great run 🫡 dagster's gonna miss ya

[SpaceXAI @SpaceXAI]

We've open-sourced Grok Build and have reset usage limits for all users.

Open sourcing Grok Build allows anyone to support making a reliable and robust harness. Check out our code, including the Git repo for the Grok Build CLI.

Grok 4.5 is an excellent model. Has the right mix of speed, intelligence, and token efficiency to maximize its usefulness for real-world infra work. try it out 🚀

[SpaceXAI @SpaceXAI]

Announcing Grok 4.5, our first model trained specifically for coding and agents. It was trained with Cursor and offers frontier intelligence at leading speeds and cost efficiency.

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

SpaceX has exercised the option to acquire @cursor_ai in an all-stock transaction with the goal of building the world’s most useful AI models.

For the past few months, SpaceXAI has been jointly training a model with Cursor, which will be released in Cursor and Grok Build soon.

We look forward to working closely with the Cursor team to advance our frontier AI capabilities

Curent team has just 18 engineers.

[Apache Spark @ApacheSpark]

Apache Spark 4.1 is out today. 🚀

AI data agents are now common in data engineering. They're also a real risk in production: tool sprawl and the glue code required to run real pipelines create a huge surface area for silent errors. The cost is wasted time and wasted compute on jobs you only notice are broken three hours into a four-hour run.

Three architectural changes in 4.1 shrink that surface area.
1️⃣ Spark Declarative Pipelines (SDP)
2️⃣ Real-Time Mode
3️⃣ Spark Connect + Project Feather

Three architectural changes. One platform shape. Fewer surfaces for the agent to drift on. Less technical debt as you ship.

[SpaceXAI @SpaceXAI]

An early beta of Grok Build, an agentic CLI for coding, building apps, and automating workflows is now available for SuperGrok Heavy subscribers.

Through this early beta, we will improve the model and product based on your feedback.

First full stack of Starship V3

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

Three years since the first flight of Starship, the next generation is here. New ship. New booster. New engines. New pad and new test site. SpaceX engineers are working to solve one of the most difficult engineering challenges in history: developing a fully, rapidly reusable rocket

Model 3 Camp Mode

[Ethan @etmwo]

Insane amount of hard work went into making this happen!

[Cybertruck @cybertruck]

Produced over 1k Cybertrucks’ worth of 4680 cells at Giga Texas last week!

[Ethan @etmwo]

and millions more battery cells in the world for EVs and grid storage.

So please consider applying! DMs open.

Data Engineer role available as well:
https://t.co/SX53SpUXg8

[Ethan @etmwo]

I'm hiring a team of 3 top software engineers to build the most advanced factory data platform in the world at @Tesla.

For an engineer, this role has the highest potential impact for CO2 abated over the next 10 years IMO.

Please consider applying! https://t.co/ycg4JUKoRA

[Ethan @etmwo]

We have a massive firehose of data and a vision to build this platform from scratch: a "Bloomberg Terminal for Cells".

The leverage here is insane: a few engineers can change how multi-billion dollar factories operate, leading to faster production ramps, higher yields,...
