xAI is doing Grok Bot Galaxy all week. There are sessions for engineering, product, founders, sales, support and marketing. If you’re trying to understand Grok Bot, watch these. I will. I’m particularly interested in Thursday’s marketing sessions because I’ve spent the last week going through 863 public Grok Bots and testing what marketing work is actually worth handing off. They’ll show what’s possible. Friday I’ll show you what I’d actually use.

xAI really cooked with this. You can create a Grok voice agent with a real phone number in the xai console in 2 mins. Found this while randomly exploring. Create a Customer support bot with MCPs, tools, web search. in Two minutes. Crazy. @elonmusk

xAI needs to fix their inference speed before grok 4.7 because grok 4.6 is supposed to be fast and yet we're experiencing slow performance due to demand so if they release 4.7 which they said is gonna be slower already the experience is gonna be pretty bad.

xAI have made an incredible comeback From the days of Grok 4 -> 4.3, where they were trailing the frontier by far, they're now arguably the 3rd best lab in the world - behind only Anthropic and OpenAI And with this minor version jump yielding +5 on AA's Intelligence Index, and Grok 4.7 only a matter of weeks away, they could realistically overtake either of them as they scale up and their release cadence gets ever shorter

xAI models now support Zero Data Retention (ZDR) on OpenRouter Developers can now use: • Grok 4.3 • Grok 4.20 • Grok Build 0.1 with Zero Data Retention enabled This means requests aren’t retained by the provider, making it a strong option for privacy-sensitive and enterprise workloads
