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.
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. Grok pulls real-time information directly from X and is explicitly designed with a witty, sarcastic edge that tackles spicy questions others avoid. It is rolling out to select U.S. testers first, with wider access coming for X Premium+ subscribers once out of early beta.
X just updated its Terms of Service to officially allow user posts to be used for training AI models. This creates a dedicated data pipeline for Elon Musk's xAI startup, while also sparking worries over tighter algorithmic content filtering and platform data control.
