xAI launched ~3 years ago
Since then:
Colossus 1 + Colossus 2 ≈ 670k GPUs
Grok Imagine
Grok Voice
Grok Build
Grok Bot
Grok 4.7
Grok didn’t just catch a leaderboard for a week.
models, agents, apps, compute under one roof... and they aren't slowing down
1. We will keep accelerating. Our AI efforts are only 3 years old, vs 6 and 10 years old for Anthropic and OpenAI. If our second derivative remains strong, SpaceX will reach pole position in about 6 months.
2. Once you far exceed the caliber of intelligence needed for a class of tasks, additional intelligence is pointless. You don’t need (and it would be cruel to put) Newton-level intelligence in your toaster!
3. Hardware is hard. Bringing massive compute online rapidly is incredibly difficult. SpaceX has demonstrated exceptional ability in this regard and will only get better.

Elon's 780K GPU number is even crazier than it looks.
That's ~1.67M GPUs of H100-equivalents today.
If all three announced 220K NVIDIA GB300 waves land...
~3.3M H100-equivalents by year-end. 🤯
Colossus 1 is 150k H100, 50k H200 and 30k GB200.
Colossus 2 is 110k GB200 and 440k GB300.
Another 220k GB300 will be fully operational next week and another 220k in November. If we get lucky, yet another 220k GB300 by late December.

This AI is wild.
You can literally talk to a video now.
Ask questions. Change the scene. Switch languages. Enter the world.
ACTx486 feels like a glimpse of a new medium.

Introducing ACTx486, a research demo of a new interactive medium.
What if you could talk to any video and ask anything?
Our system took an existing podcast and turned it into something that listens, responds, and adapts.

This is wild.
Claude just found something humans missed.
It spotted a hidden repeat pattern in raw bacteriophage DNA…
…and uncovered a previously unknown enzyme system in bacteriophages with CRISPR-like repeats. 🤯
950 agents. 21 hours. 210M tokens.
Claude has discovered a previously unknown enzyme system hidden in the DNA of bacteriophages. Beside the enzyme’s gene sits a long array of repeating DNA—a structure that looks somewhat similar to CRISPR.
We don’t yet understand what this system does, but only a handful of known systems share its features, and all of them are able to cut, copy, and paste DNA. Historically, the discovery of such programmable systems has helped revolutionize medicine. CRISPR, for instance, is now the foundation of genetic medicines. But it will take much more work to learn what this system does, and whether it can be put to similar use.
