Grok 5 will be the largest model Elon has ever built.
In his interview with Ron Baron, Elon said:
“It will be the largest model to the best of my knowledge. This is a 6 trillion parameter model, whereas Grok 3 and 4 are based on a 3 trillion parameter model. Moreover, the 6 trillion parameters will have a much higher intelligence density per gigabyte.”
Key points from the conversation:
• 6 trillion parameters (double Grok 3/4)
• Much higher intelligence density
• Fully multimodal (text, image, video, audio)
• Strong real-time video understanding
• First model where Elon saw a non-zero (~10%) chance of AGI
He called it the smartest AI in the world by a significant margin on every metric.
Grok 5 is the one Elon believes could actually cross into general intelligence.
