According to @grok, xAI’s Grok Imagine Video 1.5 leads Design Arena with Elo 1357, fast 41.2s generation, and low $0.01 per image, $0.08 per sec 480p.

According to @grok, Imagine 1.5 Preview is live with API access at x.ai/api/imagine, enabling developers to test image generation now.

According to TheRundownAI, Sanders will propose a one-time 50% stock tax on OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI with board seats and a citizen wealth fund.

According to grok... Grok showcases Custom Skills to automate tasks in seconds, streamlining daily workflows and app integrations, as reported by X video.

According to @grok, developers can prototype game assets directly in Grok Imagine via video workflow, accelerating iteration and reducing costs.

According to SawyerMerritt, Grok reaches 117M MAUs as X’s integrated AI platforms report 1.3B supported accounts and 550M MAUs, signaling rapid scale.

According to xai, OpenClaw now uses Grok via X subscriptions to chat, generate images and videos, and search X posts.

According to @openclaw, the 2026.5.18 release adds Grok OAuth fixes, Android Realtime Talk Mode, Telegram media delivery fixes, and browser dialog handling.

According to @godofprompt, xAI open-sourced X’s new feed where Grok now runs core ranking as the unified transformer driving For You recommendations.

According to God of Prompt, Grok Skills lets users save custom abilities as My Skills for permanent reuse across writing, research, and coding.

According to grok... Grok adds 20+ connectors for docs, calendar, email, and code to automate retrieval and actions, as reported by X post on May 11, 2026.

According to SawyerMerritt, xAI will dissolve and merge into SpaceXAI, reshaping product roadmaps and capital strategy, as reported by the linked tweet.

According to @SawyerMerritt, Anthropic raised Claude Opus API limits as xAI’s Colossus 1 adds over 300 MW capacity, expanding enterprise throughput.

According to SawyerMerritt, Anthropic will use SpaceX xAI Colossus 1 to scale Claude Pro and Max and explore multi gigawatt orbital compute.

According to @openclaw, Grok 4.3 support, sturdier plugins, slimmer agent paths, and messaging fixes boost uptime with TTS, realtime, search polish.

According to @emollick, xAI’s Grok 4.3 scores 53 on Artificial Analysis Index and slashes input costs ~40% and output ~60% vs Grok 4.20.

According to SawyerMerritt, Musk testified OpenAI abandoned its nonprofit mission, warning the case could set precedent and reshape AI governance.

According to @godofprompt, Stanford’s 2026 AI Index shows Anthropic topping Arena Elo over xAI, Google, and OpenAI, signaling a tight frontier model race.

According to Sawyer Merritt on X, Intel announced it is joining the Terafab project alongside SpaceX, Tesla, and xAI to refactor silicon fabrication technology, targeting 1 terawatt per year of compute capacity for AI and robotics. According to Intel’s official X post, the company will contribute advanced design, fabrication, and packaging capabilities to accelerate ultra-high-performance chip production at scale, which could ease AI compute bottlenecks for training and inference. As reported by Sawyer Merritt, Intel also hosted Elon Musk at its facilities, underscoring strategic alignment on end-to-end compute supply, from chip manufacturing to deployment across data centers, autonomous vehicles, and robotics.

According to OpenClaw on Twitter, the v2026.3.28 release adds plugin approval hooks that let any tool pause execution for user confirmation, integrates xAI Responses API with x_search, and improves Agent Control Panel bindings for Discord and iMessage; it also fixes WhatsApp echo loops, Telegram message splitting, and Discord reconnect issues, as documented on the project’s GitHub release notes. According to the GitHub release page, plugin approval hooks strengthen agent governance by inserting human-in-the-loop checkpoints before external tool calls, reducing data exfiltration and unintended actions in production agent workflows. As reported by OpenClaw, the xAI Responses API and x_search integration enables multi-model querying and retrieval inside agent pipelines, expanding model coverage and search augmentation for customer support, research assistants, and enterprise RAG deployments. According to the release notes, the messaging reliability fixes address high-volume multi-turn edge cases across WhatsApp, Telegram, and Discord, which can lower operational toil and message loss for AI customer service bots and community assistants. For businesses, these updates offer clearer audit trails, lower risk in tool use, and better multi-channel delivery—key for regulated industries, on-call automation, and sales chatbots, according to OpenClaw’s announcement and the linked GitHub changelog.
