I’m hiring exceptional software engineers for my team at @SpaceX.

We are a small team based in Redmond, WA (onsite) that owns key parts of the @Starlink user experience: https://t.co/HkjqT1Kf1w, the mobile app, customer support, AI integrations. No PMs. No designers. You ship from day one to millions of customers.

If this sounds interesting, DM me something impressive you’ve built.

Composer 2.5 is now available inside Grok Build.

Composer 2.5 is a fast, highly intelligent model that excels on long-running tasks and following complex instructions.

SpaceX has almost finished writing V1.0 of an in-house AI training stack in C that exact-maps to 220k GB300s with 800G NICs, making heavy use of pipeline parallelism and getting as close to bare metal as possible.

The potential speed improvement vs JAX for large training runs is over an order of magnitude.

Grok Build is now available in Beta for all SuperGrok and X Premium+ users.

Use Plan Mode, create images and videos with Imagine, and build automations or orchestrators with the CLI.

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.
