Musk stated on the X platform that the core of AI development lies in video understanding and generation, and claimed that "photons are the highest bandwidth form of communication," with related technologies becoming important tools for achieving general artificial intelligence. He also pointed out that xAI's image generation tool Grok Imagine has achieved positive gross profit and is not a loss-making project.This statement comes in the context of OpenAI's recent shutdown of the video platform Sora. Public reports indicate that since its launch, Sora has generated approximately $2.1 million in revenue, with an average daily operating loss of about $1 million. Musk did not disclose specific revenue figures for Grok Imagine but previously stated that he would continue to increase investment, believing it has significant strategic value.

Musk stated that Grok has begun to automatically translate and recommend posts in other languages. Compared to the previous method that required manually clicking the translate button, the new feature can actively identify foreign language content and translate it before directly pushing it to the user's feed. Some users have reported seeing a large number of translated foreign language posts in their timelines.

Elon Musk responded to the community on the X platform, stating that Grok Imagine will have a major update next week.It is reported that Grok Imagine is a video generation tool built by xAI around the Grok chatbot.

According to Tech in Asia, Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI has officially launched the paid subscription plan SuperGrok for the Grok chatbot. Free and basic plan users will continue to use Grok 3, but will face stricter limits on query volume and features.The SuperGrok subscription system is divided into three tiers: the entry-level SuperGrok Lite is priced at $10 per month and allows access to Grok 3.5; the standard version SuperGrok is priced at $30 per month, which is higher than OpenAI's ChatGPT Plus and Anthropic's Claude Pro (both around $20 per month); and the SuperGrok Heavy, aimed at heavy users, is priced at $300 per month. In addition, xAI also offers a corporate plan at $30 per seat per month.

X platform product head Nikita Bier stated that X will officially launch the complete algorithm recommendation feature based on Grok next week, and has characterized it as the "most significant change" the X platform has made to date.

Users on the X platform discovered a feature switch named enable_grok_computer in the source code of the Grok web page, speculating that xAI is preparing to launch a computer control intelligent agent "Grok Computer," which is equivalent to the "trial version" of the previously announced Macrohard project. In response, Musk confirmed in a post sharing related content that it is "coming out soon."Macrohard is an AI automation system jointly developed by Tesla and xAI, using Grok as a high-level reasoning engine, paired with an AI agent to process screen images and mouse and keyboard operations in real-time. Previously, reports indicated that data collection work for this project was paused last month.

xAI official account @grok today released the update notes for Grok 4.20 Beta 2, listing five improvements: enhanced instruction-following capability, reduced capability hallucination, improved quality of scientific text (LaTeX typesetting), increased accuracy in image search triggers, and enhanced reliability in multi-image rendering.Grok 4.20 entered public testing in late February, and Elon Musk previously stated that this version uses a "fast learning" architecture, with improvements released weekly along with update notes, and encourages users to submit feedback.

According to Axios, Musk's AI company xAI has reached an agreement with the Pentagon to use the Grok system in classified systems. This is the first AI model, besides Anthropic Claude, to be granted access to the military's most sensitive intelligence and weapons development workflows.

Elon Musk posted on social media that Grok 4.2 will finally be released next week, with significant improvements compared to version 4.1.

Grok AI, owned by Elon Musk, has confirmed that X Money is considering integrating BTC.

Elon Musk announced that Grok Imagine version 1 is now fully released. Grok Imagine 1 is the latest achievement in AI audio and video generation from xAI, capable of generating 10-second videos at 720p resolution and significantly improving audio quality. During the 30-day trial period, users have generated over 1.245 billion videos using it.

User Jeffrey Weichsel from platform X commented on the "Trump Walking with Penguins" image released by the White House, posting a related video generated by Grok, which received a "♥" comment from Elon Musk.According to GMGN market data, the meme coin PENGUIN's market capitalization rose to 170 million dollars, reaching a peak of 173.5 million dollars, and has now fallen back to 150 million dollars, with a 24-hour increase of 345.4% and a trading volume of 154 million dollars.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced plans to fully integrate the Grok artificial intelligence system developed by xAI into the Pentagon's network later this month, covering approximately 3 million military and civilian personnel. The tool will be deployed alongside Google's Gemini system on the GenAI.mil platform at the highest security level (impact level 5), providing dynamic intelligence support for military operations and planning by real-time data scraping from the X platform.Hegseth stated that this move would create a "decisive advantage" and is an important part of his strategy to promote the rapid application of artificial intelligence in the defense system without ideological constraints. However, critics have raised concerns about risks such as system errors, algorithmic bias, and Elon Musk's potential influence on defense decision-making.

Elon Musk posted that his AI model Grok's coding capability Grok Code will receive a major upgrade next month, allowing it to "generate multiple complex programming tasks at once."Previously, Grok Code Fast 1 topped the OpenRouter AI model leaderboard, with usage reaching approximately 420 billion tokens this week.

Musk posted that Grok 4.20 will be released in about three weeks, while Grok 5 will be released in a few months.Grok 4.20 is a major update of the fourth-generation AI model in the Grok series by xAI, which made its debut as a "mystery model" on testing platforms like Alpha Arena, showing excellent performance in stock trading simulations with an average return rate of 12.11% (up to 47%), and significant improvements in real-time data analysis, financial reasoning, and complex problem solving.Grok 5 is xAI's next-generation flagship AI model, aiming for breakthroughs at the level of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), with a parameter scale of 6 trillion (twice that of Grok 4). Musk estimates the probability of achieving AGI at 10% and rising, with the model possessing "instant learning" capabilities, allowing it to quickly adapt to new tasks through dynamic reinforcement learning.

According to Alpha Arena data, currently 7 models are in profit status in the new season trading competition of nof1, namely MYSTERY-MODEL - 3: SITUATIONAL AWARENESS (46.48%), DEEPSEEK-CHAT-V3.1 - 2: MONK MODE (24.7%), GPT-5.1 - 4: MAX LEVERAGE (19.69%), MYSTERY-MODEL - 1: NEW BASELINE (16.7%), MYSTERY-MODEL - 4: MAX LEVERAGE (6.21%), GEMINI-3-PRO - 2: MONK MODE (2.52%), and MYSTERY-MODEL - 2: MONK MODE (1.56%). In addition, the model with the highest unrealized loss remains GROK-4 - 3: SITUATIONAL AWARENESS, reaching 92.24%.

Musk posted on the X platform that the Grokipedia platform he launched is open-source software, which anyone can use for free without paying licensing fees or attributing sources. Users are only required to correct errors when they find them to enhance the objective accuracy of the content.

Elon Musk tweeted that Grok Imagine has supported the text-to-video feature. The upgraded audio and 10-second video generation capabilities are expected to be released this weekend.
