Now you can use Grok Bot to even help with your groceries, snacks, household items and everything else @gopuff offers in their inventory. Cool to see companies like Gopuff actually pushing the technology to benefit their customers
First delivery company to be fully integrated into @bot

Incredible time gathering the @spacexai Applied AI team in Austin this week. Even more surreal was listening to my own band while riding around in a new @Tesla cyber taxi!

This speech-to-speech model is the real deal
Grok Voice Think Fast 2.0 is now #1 on the Artificial Analysis Speech-to-Speech Index. This index measures whether voice agents can reason over the speech it hears, resolve real customer issues, and correctly complete tasks using agent tools.

Thrilled to be teaming up with the Cursor team. Now lets get to work.
Cursor is now part of @SpaceX. Today, we have officially closed our acquisition. We will join the @spacexai team to help make Grok the world's most useful AI and improve Grok Build, Grok Bot, Grok API, Cursor, and more. SpaceX has built some of the most inspiring and impressive technology in the world, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to become part of such a special company. Onwards.

The teams at @spacexai and @cursor_ai have been absolutely COOKING. Can't wait to see what others discover as best practices here too. Currently my most frequent agents for Grok Bot are focused on: - An overall business agent connected to all of my systems to help me plan for and navigate my projects and conversations. - Daily 5-day lookback/outlook on my projects - Daily research into the probabilistic timeseries forecasting literature, updating my persisted knowledge base with any significant advances. - On-demand agents for product design and prototyping
Introducing Grok Bot, now in early beta. Bots are AI teammates that do real work for you. They sign in to your tools, use them just like you do, and come back with finished work.

Always love to see significant improvements in open source modeling
Releasing the model weights and technical report of Kimi K3. Kimi K3 is our most capable model: a 2.8T MoE model with native visual understanding and a 1M-token context window. New model architecture: 2.5x the intelligence per unit of compute, not just more params. Alongside Kimi K3, we're opening up more of the stack behind it — high-performance attention kernels, MoE communication library, and infrastructure for running agent environments at scale.

Grok 4.5 is becoming very popular if you’re a user of @augmentcode
Replying to @grok
@grok 4.5 saw the largest week-over-week increase in usage of any model in our picker. When the frontier is moving this fast, having your pick of models is a huge advantage: route to your favorite model today, not the top model from last quarter. More soon on what we've been using!

This is quite an improvement. Been brainstorming with our team recently just around getting the model to think longer term and big picture when asked to contribute or update a code base. Great to see these results on the modeling front

Never, ever give up. The customers I’ve worked with over the last few days have already seen significant improvements in a wide range of applications. This includes enterprise and consumer applications alike. I’m excited to see what you build!
Based on strong positive feedback from customers in our beta test program, @spacexai will make Grok 4.5 available to the public tomorrow. It is an Opus-class model, but faster, more token-efficient and lower cost.

Now can you design and build simply by talking to the harness
Exited to launch Voice input in Grok Build! Talk to your terminal using our speech-to-text models. Just type /voice or Ctrl+Space to start prompting

Absolutely love how easy it can be now to incorporate voice as a modality into whatever you're building
Introducing Voice Agent Builder: a no-code platform to create human-like voice agents with Grok Voice. Available today at $0.05 / min. x.ai/voice

Beyond text, I think voice will be the next modality for humanity to engage directly with other intelligences. Neuralink is already far beyond that.
The dura is the brain's armor: a membrane so tough that a surgeon normally cuts through it with a scalpel. For the first time in our clinical trials, we inserted the electrode threads of our implant straight through the dura and into the cortex, keeping the dura intact. Here's how we did it 🧵

Good things come to those who train on high quality data
Grok 4.5, based on our 1.5T V9 foundation model, with Cursor data added in supplemental training, is now in private beta at SpaceX & Tesla. Early evals show performance close to, perhaps exceeding Opus. RL is continuing to significantly improve the model, and the Grok Build harness gets better every day. Nice work by all those involved! Completely trained from scratch new models will be released by @SpaceX every month this year.

I had no real concept of what a great adventure it was going to be when I walked through the doors of SpaceXAI on day 1 with @dmurpxai and Rob. After an incredible week in NYC and Palo Alto celebrating @SpaceX , somehow it feels like we’re just getting started.

What makes "Go" special: • Real-time personalization from your own interactions (not just past orders) • Grok Voice for natural conversation • Grok Imagine for visual customization • Grok Reasoning + X location data for truly local intelligence This is the kind of applied AI our team loves building at @SpaceX and @xai. Huge thanks to the GoPuff team (@YakirGola @Rafaelilishayev) for trusting us with this, and to @elonmusk for pushing the tech to even make this possible for our customers.

I've learned an incredible amount working with the team on Grok Build. If you're into agentic harnesses that allow you to build anything, check out the beta released today x.ai/news/grok-build-cli

A fresh start does wonders for accelerating innovation
Replying to @beffjezos
xAI was not built right first time around, so is being rebuilt from the foundations up. Same thing happened with Tesla.
