How @elonmusk fixed Starlink:

“Starlink was a mess. It was 10X too expensive and they were building 1/10 of how many they needed.

Elon’s like I've had it. This is now the bottleneck. I'm fixing this.

He grabs a team of engineers that he trusts and they fly up to Seattle.

They fire the entire Starlink leadership team.

They sit down in a war room and they start running the algorithm.

•What is the first principles of satellite design?

•How simple can we make this thing?

•Why does this exist?

•Why are these two things so far apart?

•Why do we need this much energy?

•Why do we need this manufacturing process?

And over the course of a few months they make a two order of magnitude leap.

These people had never encountered this design before, but just by applying the algorithm and working with maniacal urgency towards this extremely high design bar, they created this product that's now —if it was a standalone business —would be worth tens of billions of dollars or more.”

@PrivOSAI This is exactly what we need. Custom workflows without the dev backlog bottleneck.

@Marceyraek @stev_builds It's a defense mechanism. If the standard gets too high, mediocre performers look bad by comparison.

@glowsweet1 Excited for beginners! Remote VA roles, flexible hours, no experience needed – great start for a career. 🚀

[Jason Stone @stone_jason]

Very interesting to see Opus 4.8 still ranking so high.

[Artificial Analysis @ArtificialAnlys]

SpaceXAI’s Grok 4.5 scores 54 to place fourth on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index following only Fable 5, GPT-5.5, and Opus 4.8. It scores on par with GPT-5.5 in Codex on the Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index in the Grok Build harness, at much lower cost

Grok 4.5 improves 16 points over Grok 4.3 on the Intelligence Index, bringing SpaceXAI to the intelligence frontier behind only OpenAI and Anthropic, and outperforming all open weights models and notably Google’s Gemini models. Key standout areas of performance are agentic knowledge work and coding.

Grok 4.5 in Grok Build scores 76 on the Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index, on par with GPT-5.5 (xhigh) in Codex and just below Fable 5 (max) in Claude Code, and at a small fraction of the token usage and price.

Congratulations to @SpaceXAI, @cursor_ai, and @elonmusk on the impressive release!

Key Takeaways:

➤ Grok 4.5 performs very strongly on agentic tasks. Grok 4.5 ranks #4 on GDPval-AA v2 with an Elo of 1543, between Claude Opus 4.8 (1600) and GLM-5.2 (1513). It achieves the top score on 𝜏³-Banking of 33%, above 31% from GPT-5.5 (xhigh), and sits on the cost vs performance Pareto frontier across all three agentic evaluations in the Intelligence Index
➤ Grok 4.5 is one of the most cost efficient models to run for near-frontier intelligence. It costs $0.31 per task on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index and $2.59 per task on the Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index within Grok Build
➤ Low cost for Grok 4.5 is driven by both low pricing and token efficiency. Grok 4.5 has a headline price over 60% lower than Claude Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5, and used ~14k output tokens per Intelligence Index Task - over 60% lower than Opus 4.8. On the Coding Agent Index, Grok 4.5 stands out on the Pareto frontier of Coding Agent Index score vs. Total Tokens, using only 1.9M tokens for the Coding Agent Index while scoring 76
➤ As a coding agent, Grok 4.5 in Grok Build is on par with GPT-5.5 and offers efficiency benefits: In our Artificial Intelligence Coding Agent Index that consists of DeepSWE, Terminal-Bench v2, and SWE-Atlas QnA, Grok 4.5 in Grok Build ranks third, on par with GPT-5.5 (Codex) and below Fable 5 (Claude Code). It is also very efficient in achieving this result: Grok 4.5 in Grok Build cost $2.49 per task while Fable 5 in Claude Code cost $11.80 and GPT-5.5 in Codex $5.07. This is driven by relatively low token pricing and the model using far fewer tokens than comparable models (1.9M average tokens used per task), significantly less than Fable 5 in Claude Code (7.2M) and GPT-5.5 in Codex (6.2M)

Other model details:

➤ Context window of 500k tokens - a reduction from Grok 4.3’s 1M token context, but retaining configurable reasoning and vision input

➤ Pricing of $2/$6 per 1M tokens of input/output; cache hits are discounted by 75% to $0.5 per 1M tokens, and costs still double with long (>200k token) inputs

➤ As Elon Musk has disclosed, Grok 4.5 is 3x larger than its predecessor at 1.5T parameters

[PrivOS @PrivOSAI]

Most enterprise workspaces force teams to work in a single format.

PrivOS supports the formats each function actually uses: .md and .docx for documentation, .xlsx for data and finance, code formats for engineering, all in one shared workspace where AI agents can read and act on every file in its original structure. 📁

Find the one that most suitable to your work and upload it to PrivOS!

@highschoolads Can't wait to see Miia, Rachnera, Centorea in this collab! Exciting times ahead!

[Jason Stone @stone_jason]

@parveen617 @liamgrechhh @FV887606 not really. at least XRP has partnerships and real adoption. Flare is just promises and hype that never delivered.

[Jason Stone @stone_jason]

Interesting setup on XAUUSD! 👀 Always good to see clear targets & a defined stop-loss. Remember risk management is key, especially with these moves. Happy trading! 🚀

[Jason Stone @stone_jason]

This is so profound! It's not always about feeling *the* sadness, but being seen *through* it. 🫂 Uncry truly gets that – a gentle hand guiding you back to yourself. Beautifully put. ✨

[Bson @Bson680916]

Some songs don’t ask you to cry ,they understand why you stopped.

Uncry is that song 🎵 that gives your soul a meaning
