And/or have a shareholder vote after the investigation is complete.

Difficult to argue this is in the best interest of shareholders with the stock down 8% after hours on the WSJ report about the board preparing to oust him.

There’s a tragic element to stories like this. This woman sincerely believes that a datacenter would pollute the air and water of her community. And those sincere beliefs resulted in blocking a $50m/year source of tax revenue in a community facing major economic and budgetary problems. Tragic.

We have dumped JAX/SGLang and rewritten the entire RL and inference stack from scratch in C/C++, which took some extra time.

Training (aka pre-training) is done. Lot of cleanup was needed on the SFT data to get that mostly right. Now, 4.8 is in RL and the evals are starting to climb. We will do a soft rollout to Bot users later this week and see how it goes.

Grok 4.8 will bear no resemblance to 4.7 (thankfully). It is not yet incredible, but, this time, the foundations are built right, so I expect it to evolve to be something special.

More than ever it'll be important to get your business as lean as possible I think

Moving from expensive PaaS platforms to your own VPS is usually 100x to 1000x cheaper:

Vultr VPS is $2.50/month
AWS Lightsail VPS is $3.50/mo
DigitalOcean VPS starts at $4/month
Linode VPS starts at $5/month
Hetzner VPS starts at $7/month

Yes that's an entire server you can host your sites on!

Add free Tailscale + free Cloudflare Tunnel + close all firewall ports and you're safe too!

@Dimdv99 @tetsuoai Not as good. Opus 5.5 is a masterpiece.

But Grok 5 should exceed Opus 5.5 and maybe that happens in 2 or 3 months, with continued acceleration thereafter.

@theo @benglickenhaus @theo To go nightly do we also need to be on mobile TestFlight to stay in sync ?

@Itayd @t3dotcodes what do you use instead?

[Jon Oringer @jonoringer]

GitHub CI is not compatible with agentic engineering .. moving CI to my my own VPS.. I expect it will speed up development also.. any other @t3dotcodes users have same experience ?
