Founders have an incredibly difficult job. Creating something from nothing is insanely hard. I try to provide more than just capital and be as useful as possible in removing barriers so founders can focus on building. It’s a privilege to be working with unapologetically ambitious founders like @weberwongwong

You can now use your SuperGrok or X Premium subscription inside @warpdotdev. Try it out from Warp Agent Settings and switch to the Grok Build model. x.ai/news/grok-warp

1,021 applicants. 70 builders admitted. 45 projects. Absolutely incredible day. The winners developed a system that > calls the patient > uses @grok voice to discuss symptoms > literally measures tone + affect using new research *during convo* using the voice api > creates a longitudinal health rollup that the patient owns > integrates w other medical records > allows them to share detailed medical dashboard with any doctor they choose > helps the doctor intervene in the right way with minimal error and delay Very impressive for a one day build Phillip Huang and Yilun Zhang (no x afaik, but pictured below) well deserve first place honestly many of the projects had massive utility for patients The future of healthcare is going to be incredibly personalized and the balance of power will shift heavily to patients Thank you so much to our amazing sponsors 🫶 - @xai - @vercel - @cursor_ai - @inngest

We've updated the Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index, replacing SWE-Bench Pro with Datacurve's DeepSWE benchmark - the swap lifts Codex with GPT-5.5 (xhigh) above Claude Code with Opus 4.8 (max), while the newly released Claude Fable 5 (max) in Claude Code debuts at the top DeepSWE, built by @datacurve, writes its tasks from scratch rather than adapting them from public GitHub issues or pull requests, so no model has seen the solutions during training. That matters because SWE-Bench Pro, the benchmark it replaces in our Coding Agent Index, had grown gameable, with some models recovering the fix from the repository's commit history instead of solving the task. The swap reorders the index: Codex with GPT-5.5 (xhigh) rises from 65 to 76, overtaking Claude Code with Opus 4.8 (max) at 73. Claude Code with Fable 5 (max), which enters directly on the refreshed index, leads at 77. SWE-Bench Pro had been flattering some combinations and penalizing others. More below.

Excited to see what you all build with Grok Voice today!

What a day, now back to work

I believe that @SpaceX is the most important company ever It transcends the scope of a traditional company It will open up the Stars Elon had the vision And then the team pushed through limitless pain to get where they are Which is just the beginning

There’s a bunch of fellow 🇨🇦 Canadians at SpaceXAI! Come join us 🚀

“Take the fiction out of science fiction” - @elonmusk There’s still time to join SpaceXAI 🚀 grnh.se/hs3mny3b7us

Happy SpaceX Day!

Always fun seeing the animations on the heart on X for special events Can’t wait for $spcx tomorrow 🚀

@ethan_z DM’ing you

@forwarddeploy Would love to attend the next one!

Chai and Samosas 08. ☕️ Why do we say “chai” vs “tea” for the same drink? Both come from the Chinese word 茶. “Chai/Cha” (chá) traveled overland via the Silk Road to India, Persia, Turkey & beyond. “Tea” (tê) sailed from southern China by sea to Europe. 🧠 Tea if by sea, chai if by land. Let me know if you’re around to join us for the next one!

@Jackyhuang @hardlaunching Hard launched into the algo!

OMG WHAT???!!!! I’m so dead that it’s on my friend’s ‘today’s news’ 😭🫶 Guess everyone now knows that I’m committed to @hardlaunching for the rest of my life <3

Shoutout to @mathemagic1an for the wonderful fact!

@JasperVyda @GVteam @velocityeleven Great night!

Great to bring together some of SF's best young builders and researchers for a dinner and panel with @GVteam and @velocityeleven. Inspiring to see what's getting built from Day 0. Thanks to all who came.

@jobsbygeorge 🔥🔥🔥

Our team has doubled in the past 30 days We need more Factory Deployed Software Engineers 🦅🦅🦅 We are HIRING!

@zoeytzh Thank you for coming!

How much does a SpaceX lighter cost? @forwarddeploy asked, and I somehow zero-shotted the price.

The best hires are the ones you can delegate outcomes to, not tasks. Good hires come back with smart questions about the next step. Great ones just get the job done.

@ethankurz @chemistry Soooo good!

Sharing some photos here of our most recent Elements fireside chat - which we kept in the family - literally. For the first time, I moderated a conversation with my dad, Ray Kurzweil, on everything from how he thinks about making predictions, to Pope Leo’s transhumanist mention and his focus on AI, to the precision and accuracy of his forecasts over the last 63 years. It was particularly sweet to see the energy and passion for the impact of AI come to life with founders, including at least one who traveled internationally to attend. Will be sharing more from the conversation shortly…
