Today, the @DeptofWar entered into agreements with SEVEN of the world's leading frontier AI model and infrastructure companies to deploy frontier capabilities on the Department's classified networks: • SpaceX • OpenAI • Google • NVIDIA • Reflection • Microsoft • Amazon Web Services This is just the latest initiative in our mandate to create an AI-FIRST WAR DEPARTMENT 🇺🇸

President @realDonaldTrump will go down in history as one of the greatest and most consequential presidents we have ever had. His ability and willingness to make bold and consequential decisions for the benefit of future generations based on the hard and cold facts at hand rather than short-term political considerations is one of his greatest strengths. No longer are we governed by the politics of the weak who have brought us close to the edge with their weakness and self-interested short-termism. God bless our nation, our military, and our president. Let’s all pray for our troops who risk their lives on behalf of all of us so we can look forward to a world where evil is eliminated and good prevails. What we do in life echoes in eternity.

Whoever told AOC that she was ready for the international policy stage is not her friend.

Since xAI was formed just 30 months ago, the small and talented team has made remarkable progress. The future has never looked more exciting!

Today we're sharing the next phase of Reflection. We're building frontier open intelligence accessible to all. We've assembled an extraordinary AI team, built a frontier LLM training stack, and raised $2 billion. Why Open Intelligence Matters Technological and scientific progress is driven by values of openness and collaboration. The internet, Linux, and the protocols and standards that underpin modern computing are all open. This isn't a coincidence. Open software is what gets forked, customized, and embedded into systems worldwide. It's what universities teach, what startups build on, what enterprises deploy. Open science enables others to learn from the results, be inspired by them, interrogate them, and build upon them in order to push the frontier of human knowledge and scientific advancement. AI got to where it is today through scaling ideas (e.g. self-attention, next token prediction, reinforcement learning) that were shared and published openly. Now AI is becoming the technology layer that everything else runs on top of. The systems that accelerate scientific research, enhance education, optimize energy usage, supercharge medical diagnoses, and run supply chains will all be built on AI infrastructure. But the frontier is currently concentrated in closed labs. If this continues, a handful of entities will control the capital, compute, and talent required to build AI, creating a runaway dynamic that locks everyone else out. There's a narrow window to change this trajectory. We need to build open models so capable that they become the obvious choice for users and developers worldwide, ensuring the foundation of intelligence remains open and accessible rather than controlled by a few. What We've Built Over the last year, we've been preparing for this mission. We’ve assembled a team who have pioneered breakthroughs including PaLM, Gemini, AlphaGo, AlphaCode, AlphaProof, and contributed to ChatGPT and Character AI, among many others. We built something once thought possible only inside the world’s top labs: a large-scale LLM and reinforcement learning platform capable of training massive Mixture-of-Experts (MoEs) models at frontier scale. We saw the effectiveness of our approach first-hand when we applied it to the critical domain of autonomous coding. With this milestone unlocked, we're now bringing these methods to general agentic reasoning. We've raised significant capital and identified a scalable commercial model that aligns with our open intelligence strategy, ensuring we can continue building and releasing frontier models sustainably. We are now scaling up to build open models that bring together large-scale pretraining and advanced reinforcement learning from the ground up. Safety and Responsibility Open intelligence also changes how we think about safety. It enables the broader community to participate in safety research and discourse, rather than leaving critical decisions to a few closed labs. Transparency allows independent researchers to identify risks, develop mitigations, and hold systems accountable in ways that closed development cannot. But openness also requires confronting the challenges of capable models being widely accessible. We're investing in evaluations to assess capabilities and risks before release, security research to protect against misuse, and responsible deployment standards. We believe the answer to AI safety is not “security through obscurity” but rigorous science conducted in the open, where the global research community can contribute to solutions rather than a handful of companies making decisions behind closed doors. Join Us There is a window of opportunity today to build frontier open intelligence, but it is closing and this may be the last. If this mission resonates, join us.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump has just signed a memorandum launching an ALL OF GOVERNMENT response to radical left terrorism and those who fund it The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force will be spearheading the operation, alongside DHS & Treasury @StephenM: "There is all of government effort to dismantle left-wing terrorism, dismantle Antifa, to dismantle the organizations that have been carrying out these acts of political violence & TERRORlSM" The funders MUST be arrested and charged with FUNDING TERRORlSM!

ELON: LABELINGS THINGS AS FAR-RIGHT IS JUST PROPAGANDA “What we've seen in the media is defining things that used to be centrist to center-left, such as sensible immigration policy, as somehow far-right, which is absurd and false because, really, far-right should refer to extremely fascist situations. Far-right should refer to electing regimes that want to launch wars or genocides or something like that. Far-right is not supposed to mean a sensible immigration policy. If you took speeches from politicians that were center-left and just go take their speeches from 10, 15 years ago, they were literally saying the same thing. So, what we've seen is really a drift left, where a lot of governments actually are far-left but think they are centrist or think they are merely left or centrist, but they are actually far-left compared to what the left was 10 or 15 years ago. You can take speeches that Obama or Hillary Clinton gave about immigration and they sound identical to President Trump – just as of 10, 15 years ago, not that long ago. So I think what we've seen is a redefinition of what is right and left, but an inaccurate redefinition. And frankly, it's just propaganda because people generally have the association that, well, anything far-right must be bad. Then we're going to label things that are common sense far-right, which is absurd.” Source: WELT Economic Summit, January 2025, @elonmusk

🇬🇧🇺🇸 TOMMY ROBINSON: "IF CHARLIE KIRK LIVED HERE, HE’D HAVE BEEN IMPRISONED" "Does anyone think Keir Starmer have got a special relationship with America? They hate America. They hate everything it represents. They hate freedom. Charlie Kirk lived in this country, he'd have been imprisoned for some of the things he said.” So today, as well, there's only one country in the world, and one government, that's fighting for all of our free speech. It's not our government. It's certainly not the European Union. It's the Republican Party in the United States. It's JD Vance. It's Donald Trump.” Source: @TRobinsonNewEra

🚨 BREAKING: Over a million British patriots are gathering in London to mourn Charlie Kirk, in favor of British nationalism and against mass third world migration. Absolutely stunning. The movement is alive and well. History is being made. 🇬🇧🇺🇸

Charlie was shot because he was honest. America, we can’t keep doing this.

It is shocking to me that so many left wing politicians attack the idea of prayer in response to a tragedy. Literally no one thinks prayer is a substitute for action. We pray because our hearts are broken and we believe that God is listening.

Join @xAI and help build a purely AI software company called Macrohard. It’s a tongue-in-cheek name, but the project is very real! In principle, given that software companies like Microsoft do not themselves manufacture any physical hardware, it should be possible to simulate them entirely with AI.
