SpaceX Secretly Controls 45% of World’s Best AI Chips. Tripling Over the Next 12 Months
SpaceX already has their AI compute and energy problems solved. They will leverage this to win the battle for AI.

Bottom Line from Theo, he calls Grok 4.5 an outstanding value default coding model — fast, cheap, capable on real engineering work, and a huge step up for xAI. It’s not quite dethroning the absolute latest “orchestration kings,” but for most practical coding/agent use cases it punches way above its price. He’s excited about xAI’s …
Theo’s Take Theo tested Grok 4.5 extensively the day before launch and called it “pretty damn good and REALLY well priced.” He said it’s good enough that he has to make a video on it. He also noted the crowded frontier (“GLM-5.2 is close to Opus, Grok 4.5 allegedly beats Opus and GPT-5.5… Feels like …
Wes Roth opens the video by announcing that Grok 4.5 has officially gone live to the public after strong internal beta testing at SpaceX and Tesla. He explains that the model is positioned as an Opus-class system but stands out for being significantly faster, more token-efficient, and cheaper to run. The introduction highlights how Grok …
Actual usage of SpaceXAI Grok 4.5. First person reports that there are programmers successfully replacing Opus and Sonnet in all of his systems today with Grok 4.5. Grok 4.5 worked great. Spending can drop 50-80%. $200-500 instead of $1000. Grok 4.5 is faster than Opus 4.8. Maybe 2 to 3 times faster. OpenAI GPT 5.6 …
SpaceXAI Grok 4.5 is built for real-world engineering. It excels in large codebases and handles long-running tasks that span multiple repositories, hundreds of skills, and a variety of tools. Grok 4.5 is efficient and fast. It uses half as many tokens per task, delivers higher tokens per second, and costs less than half as much …
Morgan Stanley has an interesting 142 page report on SpaceX that has several material inconsistencies between its high-level assumptions about orbital compute scale, mass/payload, capex, and monetization and the known technical specifications for Starship launches, satellite power density, and real-world AI compute deals. However, we can set aside agreeing about the AI data centers in …
SpaceXAI will make Grok 4.5 available to the public today. Elon says it is an Opus-class model, but faster, more token-efficient and lower cost. 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 …

SpaceX has officially requested FCC approval to launch and operate a third-generation satellite constellation of 100,000 satellites, designed to power human connectivity and AI-fueled progress. SpaceX communication satellites will scale to a 100x increase in bandwidth. It will 50x cheaper $/Gbps when launched using starship. The buildout was accelerated by up to 2 years by …
