xAI has finally been rebranded to save tech bloggers from having to write a lot of annoying stuff:

I was glad. Do you have any idea how much I dread writing about “xAI” in all caps? How I hated to explain that the Grok chatbot was an operator owned by Elon Musk Acquired by Elon Musk’s SpaceX In February, before SpaceX became an open trade last month?
The animation on SpaceXAI’s X (did I forget to mention that SpaceXAI has an X?) is definitely an aesthetic embarrassment. Watch in awe as the xAI logo, which looks like it was designed ten minutes before going to graphic design class, transforms into the famously gorgeous and beloved style of the SpaceX logo – a breathtaking metamorphosis. Now you have to squint to even see the AI part.
But logo aside, it’s a big win for clarity. It’s SpaceX… AI. SpaceXAI. I don’t have to explain anything anymore.
In March, Elon Musk said SpaceXAI’s signature product is the Grok so flawed said it needed to be “rebuilt from the ground up.” Then SpaceX The cursor acquisition process has startedAI coding tool. Musk has been around ever since he claimed Grok is headed for a “huge breakthrough.”
Grok has graduated the base model V9-Medium (1.5T). Estimates look good. Added a lot of Cursor information to the tutorial and more to come.
Fine-tuning is done, and after a few days, reinforcement learning begins. 2-3 weeks to public release.
This is…

Last year, the company then called xAI spent 6.4 billion dollars– comes twice. However, SpaceX’s AI division is absolutely essential to Elon Musk’s story about SpaceX’s future. world-historical giant company With a “total addressable market” of $28.5 trillion. This story assumes that space infrastructure and space exploration are inextricably linked with artificial intelligence.
SpaceX Ave expresses in these terms:
We believe that AI infrastructure in space can harness the nearly infinite power of the Sun, enabling AI to be used as a transformative force to understand the universe and improve the everyday lives of all people.
Elon Musk also voiced a version of this concept in the form of a speech. as he did during the xAI staff general meeting in February. That version had fantastic decorations like:
So the next step beyond Earth data centers is Earth orbital data centers, and we’re going to launch 100 to 200 gigawatt-a-year orbital data centers with SpaceX. Not cumulative. I mean annually. And finally, we see a way to launch a terawatt-a-year of computing from Earth.
But what if you want to go beyond just one terawatt per year? To do this, you need to go to the moon.
Anyway, good luck to the SpaceXAI employees who theoretically have to do all this while their parent company continues to enter our stock markets despite the company’s management structure. It makes it impossible to fire Muskno matter what. Stupid or not, this guy has ideas now so much shopping from our wealthy classthey are now it must be kind of trueor we can all be screwed.
