shoutout to the dream team: shane, arjun, anthony!

a little late but glad to have won 1st place grand prize at treehacks 2026 last month! we built shepherd, a low-cost self-navigating smart cane for the visually impaired

thanks for featuring shepherd! it was great chatting with you

@si_pbc let’s go!!

Computer use models shouldn't learn from screenshots. We built a new foundation model that learns from video like humans do. FDM-1 can construct a gear in Blender, find software bugs, and even drive a real car through San Francisco using arrow keys.

so proud of you guys! love this team

@TheGregYang take care, greg 🙏

I've been suffering from Lyme disease. I'm stepping back from xAI into an informal advisory role so I can go founder mode on my health, starting today. --- The symptoms started when I got sick (cold, flu, or COVID -- I'm not sure which) in early 2025. I distinctly felt less energetic, less creative, and less agentic even weeks after "recovery." After that, my condition ebbed and flowed, but the lows kept getting lower. Accidentally eating the wrong thing would make me extremely tired, taking days to recover. Working out would leave my whole body feeble for days. There was a week where I slept 12 hours a day and still couldn't recover. Lyme is famously hard to diagnose, but luckily I have an incredible doctor. He suspected these symptoms, far from being just in my head, indicated immune issues. Detective work over a few rounds of testing revealed I have Lyme disease. I was very surprised because Lyme is said to come from tick bites (where the bump looks like a target), but I don't ever remember having one. Likely I contracted Lyme a long time ago, but until I pushed myself hard building xAI and weakened my immune system, the symptoms weren't noticeable. --- Overall, I actually feel lucky to have discovered this early. Lyme is a serious disease that only gets harder to treat with age -- patients discovering it in their 50s or 60s have a much tougher time. Lyme can also be debilitating, leaving its victims bedridden, but luckily I'm still functional and can take care of myself day to day. So while some folks have said "you shouldn't have pushed yourself so hard," I'm glad I did. I found this issue early, and now I can fix it so I can push myself even harder when I rebound. --- Chronic Lyme is not well understood in the literature or by the public. For folks suffering from it, it can be a lonely fight. But I hope my story can make it just a little less lonely.

@ishand @xai welcome ishan! rly enjoying working w you already

just wrapped up my first week @xai feeling extremely grateful to be a part of this team. this is an incredible place where engineers operate with an unmatched sense of intensity, ambition, and humility. talent is the ultimate multiplier :)

@richzou @xai congrats, welcome! :)

Very excited to share the news I’ll be joining @xai, focusing on talent. I grew up chasing the American Dream the only way I knew how - watching my immigrant mom work nonstop so I could have a chance to try. From Chinatown to SF, the path hasn’t been linear, but it’s been life changing. I wrote more about that journey below. Grateful to @TheGregYang and @barisakis for the opportunity and trust. As my mom always says: be kind, be honest, take care of people. We’re building something special here. Would love to meet thoughtful builders and kind humans. Time to make @grok 🚀🚀🚀

@Shubh_Mit welcome to the team!

Can’t wait to see you all!

@forwarddeploy @xai Congrats Umesh!

It’s my birthday… and it’s my first week at @xai. I have always believed that people are the real multiplier in any company. Technology changes, markets shift, but the right team is what bends the curve. That belief is why I joined @xai. Founders who have shipped to millions. Engineers who stay locked in (even for 36h) until the thing works. Operators who treat impossible like a suggestion. No theatrics. Just execution. My role sits right in the middle of that energy as a talent engineer. I am here to bring in world class people, support them, and build the systems to keep bringing people at full steam.   You need the strongest concentration of talent you can assemble to advance AI in a way that understands the universe… that place is at xAI. 👇If you are a founder or builder who has shipped something people truly love, I would love to meet you and see how we can partner - my DMs are open!

super pumped to be organizing! dm if you have any questions

The world’s first @xai and @vercel hackathon happened last night. Should we do another one?

We built ContractMe, an AI agent that handles the entire contractor pipeline, from customer/contractor phone call scheduling to sending reminders to coordinating tools and materials. github.com/vyomfadia/cont…

Happy to have won “Outstanding Agent” and 2nd place overall at Brex AgentJam with @vyomfadia. Thanks to all the organizers, sponsors, and judges! github.com/vyomfadia/cont…
