Grok foundation model V9-Medium (1.5T) has finished training. Evals look good. A lot of Cursor data was added in supplementary training and there is more to come. Fine-tuning is underway and reinforcement learning begins in a few days. 2 to 3 weeks to public release. This will be a major improvement over the 0.5T v8-small that currently serves all Grok production traffic, especially for difficult coding tasks.

Love this new trend! Gemini Omni prompt 👇 Found footage documentary style. Handheld handycam with natural jitter and shake. Wide-angle consumer lens. Natural daylight, slightly overexposed, grainy film stock aesthetic. Spatial field audio recording. A bizarre hybrid creature, with a glistening, wet octopus body and a distinct green frog head with large blinking eyes, undulates through tall garden grass. Octopus tentacles pull the creature forward Focus on the movement. Octopus suction cups on the tentacles grip the blades of grass as the creature moves with a strange, creeping motion. The frog head on the front looks around intently The hybrid creature reaches the edge of a muddy garden pond The frog-headed octopus plunges fully into the dark pond water Detailed skin textures (both wet cephalopod and amphibian). Realistic creature movement physics based on natural reference. Gritty documentary look. Accurate handheld motion blur. Photorealistic hybrid anatomy.

We are improving the 0.5T Grok foundation model V8 (public version 4.3) every few days. The 1.5T V9 just finished training (incorrectly called pre-training) and is a major upgrade. Next, we are adding the Cursor data in supplemental training (others call this mid-training), then SFT and RL. About 3 or 4 weeks to release. This will be a banger.
