Grok Bot has the most generous usage limits and the most frequent resets of any AI I've ever used.
Grok Imagine director mode is gone
Exactly 10 days ago, Elon Musk said Grok 4.8 is taking longer than expected, but "Grok 4.8 will not be a disappointment." It will run on 2.5T parameters and was trained on a C++ software stack.

We’re not optimizing for benchmarks and I really don’t care how Grok does on those, but it will be incredibly useful.

I gave Grok Bot an article and some images so it could upload them to my website. While uploading, it detected errors in the report and asked if it should correct them. It also optimizes the metadata for Google SEO. Grok Bot is incredible!

Grok Bot doesn't just react, it acts. It thinks ahead, makes suggestions and brings its own ideas.
Today marks exactly 48 days since the last Grok release on September 21, 2026. Grok 4.8 is coming soon and will be a major upgrade.
The Grok web UI has been updated. The new design looks very fresh and runs very smoothly.

Grok 4.8 will be on 2.5T
Grok 4.9 will be on 3T or more

I think it's sad that in all Grok Imagine contests so far, users from Europe, Asia or all other regions outside the U.S. haven't been able to participate. Not even here, where there's no cash prize.
been waiting my whole life to be in a commercial

Feature suggestion for Grok Bot @SpaceXSI
Please add an app lock to the PC and phone app: a password to unlock before Grok Bot opens.
Grok Bot holds a lot of private data, both work and personal: A lock screen would make it much safer when someone else uses my phone or PC.

Grok was launched 3 years ago and compared to its young age, it’s developing faster than any other AI.
People keep asking when is Grok 5 coming out. Until now, I'd always guessed December this year. But now I'm thinking more like spring or summer 2027. We'll see.
Grok 4.8 is coming very soon, I can already feel it. Right now it's the calm before the storm. Grok 4.8 will outperform all previous Grok Model records.
Grok Bot can now make phone calls. For now calling only works for US users and only to US numbers. Looking forward to the Europe release.

Grok Imagine UI update is coming soon: before you generate a long video like in Director mode, you'll see how many images and videos will be created so you can adjust the count or decline before it starts.

Slightly to be expected because creating a lengthier video will generate multiple images and video shots. Subsequent edits shouldn't be as costly, but in general this should get cheaper overtime 🤞
A fix for the UX is going out soon, it will tell you how many images and video shots will be generated so you can adjust or decline.
