Elon Musk's X is reportedly exploring a partnership with text-to-image generator Midjourney. If finalized, the deal could integrate Midjourney's visual capabilities directly into Grok, letting users generate and post images right from their feeds. While details remain sparse, the feature will likely be locked behind an X Premium subscription.
X is testing a new Explore page feature that uses Grok to generate brief summaries explaining why topics are trending. Instead of clicking through vague keywords and hashtags, users get an immediate rundown of the day's key stories. The feature is currently in limited testing and may not roll out globally.
Musician Grimes and toy maker Curio just teamed up with OpenAI to roll out interactive AI plushies for kids, priced at $99. One character is named Grok—though Curio says it has nothing to do with Elon Musk's chatbot. The voice-driven toys converse using language models, aiming to replace excessive screen time with imaginative play.
xAI's flagship bot Grok was caught denying user requests by stating it violates OpenAI's use case policy, an awkward slip for Elon Musk's rival AI. While xAI claimed the bot merely swept up ChatGPT outputs during web scraping, researchers suspect it was fine-tuned on synthetic OpenAI data.
Elon Musk just officially launched xAI's chatbot Grok, rolling it out exclusively to Premium+ subscribers on X.

Elon Musk's AI startup, xAI, just filed with the SEC to raise up to $1 billion in an equity offering, having already locked in $134.6 million from four investors.

Elon Musk just confirmed that xAI's chatbot Grok will roll out to all X Premium+ subscribers sometime next week. Alongside its rebellious persona, Grok's biggest hook is real-time access to X's platform data. Why it matters: Musk is betting on AI to juice subscription sign-ups, though locking Grok behind a $16-a-month paywall could test user appetite.
xAI's Grok chatbot was just spotted inside the code and navigation bar of the X web app, courtesy of app researcher Nima Owji. The integration gives Grok its own dedicated URL and a prominent spot on the sidebar, exclusively gated behind the $16-per-month X Premium+ subscription tier.
Sam Altman just used OpenAI’s new custom GPTs feature to troll Elon Musk’s rival chatbot, Grok. Altman instructed the builder to create a bot with awkward, "cringey boomer humor," which the system humorously dubbed Grok. It marks the latest jab in an ongoing feud between the two former co-founders.
Elon Musk just confirmed plans to integrate xAI's newly launched Grok assistant into Tesla electric vehicles, running a smaller quantized model natively using local car compute. Musk noted this setup could turn parked Teslas into a massive distributed inference network. Why it matters: Bringing LLMs directly to vehicle hardware cuts latency and cloud dependence, though there is no official launch date yet.
Elon Musk just debuted Grok, xAI’s first conversational model powered by Grok-1.
