Grok 4.5 solved it
---
Answer: 더바른정육식당 (The Barun Jeongyuk Sikdang)
📍 서울 강남구 강남대로 482, 신논현/논현 · IG @barun_jo
1. Plate first. The tweet photo is a classic Korean 고깃집 사인 벽 — light vertical wood, white cards in clear plastic sleeves, red stickers “open AI / Ilya Sutskever,” date 2023. 9. 16. That style + Korean date format already points at a local meat house, not a touristy Instagram spot.
2. The only public breadcrumb. A Feb 2025 CHON Facebook post by 신근영 (Shin Keun-young / @rms1155) shares essentially the same plate: he paid for lunch, noticed the signature, and the owner said Ilya (with his Korean wife) had dined and signed. No name given — exactly why the original challenge works.
3. Date unlocks geography. 2023.9.16 lands on Prompter Day Seoul 2023 (SKT × OpenAI), prelims that weekend, finals at Dreamplus Gangnam (신논현/역삼). So search shifted from “random Korea BBQ” → 신논현 / 논현 / 역삼 정육식당 with celebrity signature walls.
4. Shortlist + wall matching. Candidates with dense 사인 벽 near Dreamplus: 더바른정육식당, 산솔 신논현, 대운목장, a few quieter 드-슐랭 정육. Cross-checked public wall photos against the hardware in the tweet (vertical wood + laminated white cards, not door-writing / yellow sticky notes / free-form paper).
5. The lock. Google Images for “더바른정육식당 사인 벽” surfaces the same wall system — same wood, same clear sleeves, same card

🏆 In October, we invited external teams to submit to ForecastBench, our AI forecasting benchmark.
The challenge? Beat superforecasters—using any tools available (scaffolding, ensembling, etc).
The result? External submissions are now the most accurate models on our leaderboard—though superforecasters still hold #1.
@xai's model (grok-4-fast) is the leading external submission, at #2.
One of Cassi's entries takes the #3 spot
Here's what changed. 🧵

We are hiring & rapidly grow post-training at xAI! The team is at the frontier of RLHF, agents, and reasoning efficiency—in just a few months, we climbed from nothing to #2-3 @arena, #1 Search Arena & other tool use benchmarks, #1-2 in creative writing, and are Pareto-optimal on intelligence-per-dollar @ArtificialAnlys. We are expanding work on new posttraining x reasoning recipes, code, multimodality, evals, and economic productivity.
We are the smallest post-training team at a frontier lab, so you are guaranteed to be on the critical path. The structure is flat. Politics in territory claims do not exist. Compensation is competitive (& I will fight for you). Compute per capita is glorious. DM me if interested.

Coming back on here with some very happy (and belated!) news from @tylervstorm and I.
I guess when they told us becoming co-founders is like getting married, we took it to heart.

Grok4 Fast won at Search Arena! Showing how strong a lightweight model can be when it has good tools.
Also, it is #8 on the standard Text Arena, best of its class, much ahead of Gemini-2.5-Flash #17 or O4-mini #25. The post-training team really cooked!
🚨 Leaderboard Disrupted!
Grok-4-fast by @xAI has arrived in the Arena, and it’s shaking things up! ⚡️
🏆 #1 on the Search Leaderboard
Tested under the codename “menlo,” Grok-4-fast-search just rocketed to the top spot with the community.
💠 Tied for #8 on the Text Leaderboard
After debuting as “tahoe” in pre-release, Grok-4-fast is officially in the Top 10 - no small feat in the most competitive Arena, particularly for a model in this weight class.
👏 Congrats to the @xAI team on these achievements. See thread for more highlights about Grok-4-fast 🧵

Curiosity
Very proud of us @xai after seeing the GPT5 release. With a much smaller team, we are ahead in many. Grok4 world’s first unified model, and crushing GPT5 in benchmarks like ARC-AGI.
@OpenAI is a very respectful competitor and still the leader in many, but we’re fast and relentless. Many new models to share in the next few weeks!

Based on current estimates, a Tesla Semi (self-driving capable) costs around $250,000. Black market kidneys fetch ~$200,000 each (illegal and deadly—don't). You'd need 2 to afford it, but you'd only survive selling 1. Better options: financing or wait for mass production to lower prices.

Next week, Grok 3.5 early beta release to SuperGrok subscribers only.
It is the first AI that can, for example, accurately answer technical questions about rocket engines or electrochemistry.
@Grok is reasoning from first principles and coming up with answers that simply don’t exist on the Internet.
🚨GROK 3 SENDS USAGE SOARING – 10X SPIKE IN DOWNLOADS
Elon’s xAI just dropped Grok 3, and the numbers are wild.
Mobile downloads exploded 10X the week it launched, with daily U.S. users up 260%.
Even Grok’s web app visits shot from 189K to over 900K a day.
Globally?
4.5 million hits daily.
Some of that boom came from expanding into Europe, Latin America, and Southeast Asia, but Grok 3 clearly grabbed attention fast.
