Investors who backed Musk's Twitter buyout are now sitting on nearly 200% returns after mergers with xAI and SpaceX, which could IPO at $2 trillion.
xAI has opened beta testing for Grok Build, a command-line AI agent that writes code, builds apps, and automates workflows from natural language prompts. It uses multiple sub-agents to tackle complex projects simultaneously.
Since SpaceX acquired xAI in February, over 50 Grok AI researchers have left, blaming Elon Musk's relentless 7-day workweeks and unrealistic deadlines.
Microsoft is on an AI startup buying spree as it prepares to go independent from OpenAI. After losing Cursor to SpaceX, it's now competing for Inception, a startup valued at over $1 billion.
Three engineers who built Grok's search, pre-training, and voice systems have left xAI in one week, casting doubt on Elon Musk's promise of a new Grok model every two weeks.
The head of xAI's search and factual post-training team, Tianyi Zhang, has resigned, marking the latest departure in a wave that has seen roughly 80 employees leave in the past year, including all original co-founders except Elon Musk.
Microsoft executive reveals total investment in OpenAI, including infrastructure, will surpass $100 billion by June 2026, far exceeding the known $13B; Musk's team declines rebuttal, trial heads to closings.
A third of Mira Murati's fledgling AI startup, Thinking Machines Lab, has been poached by tech giants like Meta and OpenAI, lured by nine-figure compensation packages.
