Looking at statistics from openrouter shows Grok 4.5 could capture a lot of AI spending market share by dominating the value AI segments. Brian WangBrian Wang is a Futurist Thought Leader and a popular Science blogger with 1 million readers per month. His blog Nextbigfuture.com is ranked #1 Science News Blog. It covers many disruptive …
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 …
Kilpatrick of Google Deepmoind is claiming what we historically thought of as “the model” is no longer just weights — it’s a sprawling system of tool calling, hosted search, code execution, containers, and an agent harness. The harness is the quintessential current example of scaffolding that the model will “eat” — within roughly 12 months, …
Duke “Rethinking Load Growth” reports that having a flexible energy demand during 3 peak hours unlocks 20% more overall power. Curtailing just ~0.5–1% of annual energy could unlock on the order of 76–100 GW of new load on today’s US grid. This is how Tesla, SpaceX and XAI can use virtual power plants, batteries to …
The six charts are daily load curves (duck-curve style) with a red horizontal line likely representing average/baseload demand or a target firm threshold. In the video, Tesla experts explain how batteries and the VPP can shape energy demand. The shaded area is the net load (demand minus variable generation). Dips at 4 AM and peaks …
Mythos-class models (Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview, Fable 5, and Mythos 5) represent a new capability tier above the previous Opus-class frontier models (Claude Opus 4.x series). They mark a meaningful step up in agentic/long-horizon reasoning, complex multi-step planning, software engineering, and especially autonomous cybersecurity capabilities (vulnerability discovery, exploit chaining, and sandbox escape behaviors). This aligns …
SpaceX recently completed the largest IPO ever, raising more than $85 billion and debuting at a ~$1.77 trillion valuation. Shares have since pulled back (a common post-IPO pattern, especially in volatile markets), but the raise was enormous. xAI is part of that story because of the earlier integration. FEb 2026, SpaceX acquired xAI and the …
Practical podcast interview with Matt Pocock (AI engineering educator and creator of popular agent skills). The core message is that the model is important, but the harness (your skills/prompts/procedures + environment + workflow) matters just as much or more. XAI bought Cursor because it is a top level harness and they have the data and …
Cursor is training its own Opus-class model from scratch. They are no longer fine-tuned on open-source model like Kimi K2. This is a major step up in capability and independence. They are using the 10-20X compute provided by xAI and Colossus 2. In a few weeks the 1.5 trillion parameter coding model and harness. Then …
Insider Jason Calcanis said Anthropic stabbed Cursor in the back. Anthropic allegedly used massive Cursor user data/token consumption to train and improve their own internal coding capabilities (Claude Code or similar). They then restricted or cut off Cursor’s access to their models. This left Cursor in a terrible position. Negative gross margins (reported around -23%) …
Micron (MU) delivered one of the most dramatic AI-driven turnarounds in recent memory. In calendar 2024 / early fiscal 2025, quarterly revenue sat in the $5–8B range while the stock traded mostly between $80–$150. By mid-2026, quarterly revenue had exploded past $15B (hitting $23.86B in one quarter) and the stock surged above $1,000 and the …
