@Cyn_Cyb3r071Qu3 Thanks!

Grok 4.8 next week.

[Mark Kretschmann @mark_k]

@meroveex It started well, but then got a bit slow.

[Mark Kretschmann @mark_k]

Anyone else watching Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2?

@Compilethings 😂😂

HUGE: Cursor now has computer-use capabilities!

Agents in Cursor can now control your computer and use any app (not just the browser). You can either invoke this manually, or let Cursor enable it as-needed.

[Mark Kretschmann @mark_k]

@MLaurusevicius I wouldn't worry about it.

[Mark Kretschmann @mark_k]

@TommyEJmusic @balllvest Yes. About two weeks delay is normal.

[Mark Kretschmann @mark_k]

@MiaAI_lab It's on another level. I don't think Dot can compete, nor Muse.

[Mark Kretschmann @mark_k]

Grok Bot just won the game.

Nothing else even comes close at this point!

[Grok Bot @bot]

Grok Bot can now save your logins, cards, and contact information.

Add them once, and Bot securely remembers them for the future.

[Mark Kretschmann @mark_k]

@IdiomaticBytes Well, how else could they do it? I think it makes sense.

[Mark Kretschmann @mark_k]

@TC_Poole Oh yes I remember that one too!

[Mark Kretschmann @mark_k]

This was absolute master bait by Epic, with the hand with 6 fingers.

Most of the anti-AI people in the replies didn't even get the joke 😂

[Unreal Engine @UnrealEngine]

Vibe your way to 50K.

The 2026 Epic AI MegaJam begins Nov 12: https://t.co/aAXEqj7zmE

[Mark Kretschmann @mark_k]

@ThinkTankBots Yeah it's brilliant. Game changer.

[Mark Kretschmann @mark_k]

@bishop_intel I'm hearing this everywhere right now!

[Mark Kretschmann @mark_k]

@Mercurion5d @grok can Grok Bot do this?

[Mark Kretschmann @mark_k]

@yoda_FDE @spacexai Yeah the speed is nuts right now

[Mark Kretschmann @mark_k]

Grok Bot 0.75.2 from @spacexai is a big one!

• Bots build and update Pages: reports, memos, dashboards
• Generate videos from text or images
• Pin files, Pages and links in Library
• Shop Pay and X Money support
• Redesigned cards and personal Bot memory across chats

[Mark Kretschmann @mark_k]

@Compilethings Yeah apparently the subscription is not a very good deal.

🚀 Kimi K3.1 Pro is here, and the benchmarks are impressive!

Moonshot AI's new 3T-class open-weight model comes with a 1 MILLION token context window and major improvements in coding, 3D creation, and agentic capabilities.

Some highlights:

🔥 65.7% on Terminal-Bench 4.0, beating GPT-6 Astra (58.2%) and nearly matching Claude Opus 5.5 (66.4%).

🔥 Strong 3D/CAD capabilities, including generating complex models directly from sketches and text.

🔥 Major improvements in financial research and modeling, with substantially reduced hallucination rates.

🔥 New Highspeed variant delivering 2–3x faster inference.

K3.1 Pro is available now through Kimi, Kimi Code, Kimi Work, and the API. Full model weights will follow on November 4.

Another very serious contender from China. The open-weight frontier keeps advancing!

[Mark Kretschmann @mark_k]

@moubuntu Yes! Great model.

[Mark Kretschmann @mark_k]

Today is a great day for open-weight Super Intelligence!

[Mark Kretschmann @mark_k]

@mjtechguy It's going to be a huge jump.

[Mark Kretschmann @mark_k]

@DanielGPT2022 They won't let Duet eat Grok's butter! Accelerating hard rn.

[Mark Kretschmann @mark_k]

@jsohlander Next Grok 4.8

[Mark Kretschmann @mark_k]

@ArthurSaada lol no.

[Mark Kretschmann @mark_k]

@dicoangelo Of course. It's useless if it can't log in.
