Tesla to run smaller native version of xAI’s Grōk using local compute power

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, robotics/AI, transportation

The first product from Elon Musk-led xAI was announced on Friday, and the CEO has suggested that Tesla’s vehicles may natively run a smaller version of the AI assistant.

On Saturday, X user and Tesla enthusiast Chuck Cook spotted that Musk liked a post saying that a smaller, quantized version of the AI model Grōk would run natively on Tesla with local computing power. Following Cook’s mention, Musk noted that Teslas will likely come with the largest amount of usable inference compute in the world — as long as the vehicles’ AI computer can run the Grōk model.

Provided our vehicle AI computer is able to run the model, Tesla will probably have the most amount of true usable inference compute on Earth.

Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, to release first program tomorrow

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, robotics/AI

Set up in July, xAI aimed to take a path very different from OpenAI. How far it has succeeded will be known soon.

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence (AI) company, xAI, is ready to showcase its first product to the world and will release it to a select group tomorrow, as per a tweet from Musk.

Musk was one of the founders of OpenAI when the organization worked as a non-profit and for the advancement of AI. Over the years, though, OpenAI started leaning towards profit and teamed up with Microsoft, which has poured billions into its growth. The Tesla CEO eventually fell out with his other co-founders and has often criticized OpenAI for its change in stance.

To this day, many people are taking the project seriously, but Tesla certainly is.

Ballmer to surpass ex-boss Bill Gates to become world’s 4th richest

Posted by in category: Elon Musk

Ballmer is already richer than Google Boys and the CEO of the social media giant Meta.

Steve Ballmer, who started his career as an assistant to Bill Gates, then president of Microsoft, is set to overtake his former employer and become the fourth richest person in the world, Markets Insider.

The report uses information from Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index, which tracks the estimated personal fortunes of billionaires from around the world. The list mostly features entrepreneurs like Elon Musk or Bill Gates, who have struck gold with the companies they founded. However, Ballmer is quite the exception since he does not own a company or has never established one.

Elon Musk wants more bandwidth between people and machines. Do we need it?

Posted by in categories: computing, Elon Musk, neuroscience

Speeding up communication between humans is surprisingly tricky.

Last week, a post by Elon Musk on X (formerly known as Twitter) caught my eye. The entrepreneur claimed that sticking electrodes in people’s heads is going to lead to a huge increase in the rate of data transfer out of, and into, human brains.

The occasion of Musk’s post was the announcement by Neuralink, his brain-computer interface (BCI) company, that it was officially seeking the first volunteer to receive the “N1,” an implant comprising 1,024 electrodes able to listen in on brain neurons.

Starlink to Be Available on Most Aircraft Soon, Says Elon Musk

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, internet, satellites

SpaceX’s Starlink will be available on most aircraft soon, said Elon Musk. The technology will be available for use by any operator if it is ordered.

Some operators provide an internet connection during airplane flights. However, if you try to use it, you will most likely encounter a problem. The problem with most in-flight internet offerings is speed and connectivity. Airplanes connected to the antenna receive signals from communications towers on the ground as they fly overhead. This limits the availability of internet: it becomes unstable, difficult to connect to, and the actual speed reaches no more than about 10 Mbps. That is why satellite internet can offer a number of benefits, and SpaceX’s Starlink will soon do just that.

Currently, Starlink has a constellation of about 5,000 satellites in low Earth orbit and plans to increase this to 42,000 in the future. This is significantly more than all other companies combined. For example, Viasat, which provides in-flight internet service to JetBlue, United Airlines, and American Airlines, operates a fleet of four satellites, according to The Street.
