Thrilled to receive this feedback from Tesla — they tackle the world’s most critical multimodal challenges. Extremely proud that the team’s work is paying off🚀
Grok 4.6 multimodal is a step change from Grok 4.5. It’s one of the under-discussed improvements, and I’ve been very impressed by it. My daily work includes reviewing lots of videos and understanding the context; Grok 4.6 improves the productivity of such workloads by at least 10x if not 100x. Such workflows may not be captured by common VLM benchmarks, but in my use cases it outperforms Gemini 3.5 and Gemma 4, which is considered the SOTA of VLMs in my opinion. Hats off to the multimodal teams—you did a great job.

Made this short clip with @grok's new director bot, inspired by John Baldessari's dot works. I was really impressed by how the agent handled the consistency of the dots: "To keep the faces hidden, I'm adding the dots myself over every frame after the scenes are generated, rather than counting on the video model to keep them in place."
A new bot called "Director," by Xi Yan, showed up in the Grok Bot Marketplace. It's a video director that takes a brief and plans, shoots, cuts and delivers short films, ads, explainers or music videos. Import it, it comes with a pack of video skills. x.ai/bot/marketplace/bots/vi…

Big day for @Starlink Mobile…
We announced an agreement to acquire a nationwide low-band spectrum license portfolio that will pave the way for @Starlink to become a major mobile carrier in the US. With this new spectrum and our Gen2 constellation, Starlink Mobile can ensure Americans have access to high-speed mobile broadband no matter where they are → spacex.com/updates#starlink-…

Really looking forward to seeing first gemini response from the space 🚀
Can our TPUs survive and operate in space? Well, we're going to find out. Project Suncatcher is hitching a ride aboard @SpaceX's Transporter-18 mission, testing a prototype satellite built in partnership with @planet One small step for TPUs....
