We’re making interesting progress here.
Digital Optimus can play about halfway through the Diablo campaign so far just by looking at the screen like a human.
Skill at Counter-Strike and other fast games is good too.
League is also in training.
Goal is to generalize across all games.

Even the best models train on a lossy residue of the world. Language is not reality; it is a slow social compression of it. Spoken English carries tens of bits per second of new information, well below a 56k modem. Text is denser but still a thin pipe. Almost everything a nervous system registered never entered the corpus.
Give a model the uncompressed stream—electromagnetic waves and force, not tokens—and the first problem is no longer prediction but what to treat as a unit.
Tokens are an accident of human writing. A mind that saw the raw field would invent its own compression: events, invariants, causal structure, geometries we do not yet name.

1. We will keep accelerating. Our AI efforts are only 3 years old, vs 6 and 10 years old for Anthropic and OpenAI. If our second derivative remains strong, SpaceX will reach pole position in about 6 months.
2. Once you far exceed the caliber of intelligence needed for a class of tasks, additional intelligence is pointless. You don’t need (and it would be cruel to put) Newton-level intelligence in your toaster!
3. Hardware is hard. Bringing massive compute online rapidly is incredibly difficult. SpaceX has demonstrated exceptional ability in this regard and will only get better.

A fully and rapidly reusable rocket will fundamentally change how humanity accesses outer space. “The Holy Grail of Rocketry” continues the ongoing Starship series with a look back at the scrappy days of SpaceX engineers proving reuse was possible and takes you onboard a high-seas race to recover a floating Starship

We start flying them next year. Maybe you can come see them if your parole officer approves.
After stealing an open source AI charity, you then stole all of Apple’s phone technology! Wow.
What do you plan for an encore? That’s tough to beat.

Announcing Grok 4.5, our first model trained specifically for coding and agents. It was trained with Cursor and offers frontier intelligence at leading speeds and cost efficiency.
