Looks like Elon's finally giving up on XAI and just selling the compute
- JustSkyfall 5mo agoProbably a good idea in all honesty. xAI is a deeply unserious lab
- cyanydeez 5mo agoThere's only so much determinism you can create when you try not to filter (read CENSOR) your LLM.
- throwa356262 5mo agoFrom a technical standpoint xAI is basically Gemini team B who were give A+ salaries to join the company. But even then, I suspect their hands were tied in some areas because Elon had some expectations from his AI.
- fancyfredbot 5mo agoDid Google outbid Elon for team A? Or A team just don't like Elon?
- throwa356262 5mo agoIt's an internal jokes since very few high profile Deepmind engineers accepted his offer despite some serious cash being thrown at them. Meta engineers on the other hand, couldn't wait to jump ship. But that only reinforces the B team theory.
- lostmsu 5mo agoLLaMA was pretty good at the time
- petercooper 5mo agoI don't know if it relates to the same data centers, but this also comes hours after several still recent Grok models were deprecated at short notice. Grok 4.1 Fast is the cheapest way to do research on X (cheaper than the X API!) and it's gone on May 15: https://docs.x.ai/developers/models https://docs.x.ai/developers/models - freeing up compute to sell?
- peder 5mo ago> Looks like Elon's finally giving up on XAI and just selling the compute I don't think that's certain yet, but I do think that the open-source models like Gemma and Qwen are getting so good so fast that even Anthropic has real risk around the long-term value of their models and tooling. Basically, if I'm Anthropic or xAI, I try to get revenue whenever and wherever possible and see what sticks. There's no value in playing for monopolistic control when everything is so volatile.
- swalsh 5mo agoThere's always money in the giggawatt datacenter
- kingstnap 5mo agoThe details are secret. It very well could be wasted GPU time but Anthropic could have made a killer offering as well. I'm just speculating, but a particularly killer offering Elon wouldnt be able to refuse would be if Anthropic agreed to give them some training data / technology.
- swalsh 5mo agoBillions in revenue just before your IPO isn't a bad deal either.
- fancyfredbot 5mo agoThe icing on the cake for Elon is that it strengthens the competition to OpenAI. Or is that actually his main motivation. Hard to know. Either way it's a win win win for him.
- throwa356262 5mo agoThat's certainly one way one could spin this. I guess loosing a ton of money then trying to get some if it back makes you a genius...
- scottyah 5mo agoYeah real geniuses go down with the ship and never change what they set out to do
- fancyfredbot 5mo agoElon has many many faults but "loosing" money doesn't appear to be one of them. He's literally the richest person alive!
- Rover222 5mo ago[dead]
- croes 5mo agoOr he just got leverage on a competitor
- spikels 5mo agoNo I don't ever give up. I would have to be dead or completely incapacitated. -Elon https://x.com/XFreeze/status/2012390928221094335 https://x.com/XFreeze/status/2012390928221094335
- AlexCoventry 5mo agoI don't think this is giving up. He's getting inside information on how Claude works, and a huge stream of Claude usage data. This will all inform future grok development, IMO.
- vagab0nd 5mo agoGiving Musk the benefit of the doubt, here's a thought experiment: It doesn't seem like any of the big labs in the US can keep a lead for more than 3 months. The Chinese models are closing in. Even if xAI comes up with the best model, so what? On the other hand, power and compute are limited. Ridiculous as orbital compute sounds, land/power on earth is not easily scalable. There are too many limiting factors, chief among which in the US is regulation. But in space, if you make one satellite work, you just get more resources and launch more. This also leads naturally to Tesla's plan for a chip fab. So if you squint, Musk might not be that crazy.
- hn1986 5mo agoquestion is, will they buy cursor?
