    Hollywood’s New Tech Films Take a Sharper View of Silicon Valley

    A new wave of films about Silicon Valley figures presents them more critically than earlier portrayals, reflecting audiences’ dimming views of Big Tech. The films include The Social Reckoning, which connects Facebook’s past decisions to current concerns about Meta’s influence, and Alex Gibney’s Musk documentary, which is screening in select theaters and has faced advertising restrictions. Luca Guadagnino’s Artificial and Nathan Fielder’s You Can See Everything also examine Sam Altman and Elizabeth Holmes, respectively.

    Claude Opus 5.5 and Grok 4.7 reproduce 72 Eiffel Tower names in offline 3D builds

    Artificial Analysis asked AI models to build the Eiffel Tower in 3D offline. Claude Opus 5.5 and Grok 4.7 included all 72 inscribed scientists’, engineers’, and mathematicians’ names in the correct order, although the shared brief never mentioned them. Claude Opus 5.5 also matched each set to its orientation in Paris. Both models worked as agents without internet access, and the names first appeared in their generated code, never in files or tool outputs they read.

    Grok Voice 3.0 leads Artificial Analysis Speech to Speech Index at 86.9

    Artificial Analysis evaluated SpaceXAI’s Grok Voice 3.0 using the Rex voice through the SpaceXAI Realtime API, reporting a #1 Speech to Speech Index score of 86.9, up from Grok Voice 2.0 at 81.3. It ranked #3 in arena preference and #1 in task success rate at 94.8%. Average time to first audio on Big Bench Audio was 0.81 seconds versus 0.70s for Grok Voice 2.0, while input audio pricing remained $4.80 per hour.

    How to ask Grok about its AI news curation workflow

    Grok’s AI news updates are pretty good, but you may want to use the approach in another bot or agent. A simple method is to ask how it works: When you compile news for me, how do you search X for the information I want? How do you judge whether it is new and valuable? The basic approach is simple too: follow specific accounts, grouped into three categories, starting with AI. https://t.co/FBLL9FvCPa

    SpaceXSI bundles X Premium, Grok, and Cursor into one subscription

    SpaceX Super Intelligence is bundling X Premium, Grok, and Cursor into The X Subscription, combining AI chat, agent access, coding, and paid X features. Five plans are available: free, Plus ($8/month), Premium ($30/month), Super ($100/month), and Ultra ($200/month), with increasing AI usage caps; Premium or higher is required for the latest Grok models. Existing subscribers can keep their current plans or switch through X subscription settings as the upgrade option rolls out gradually.

    Cursor’s X Subscription Explained: Whether to Switch and How Claude Costs Change

    Baoyu explains that existing Cursor subscribers can keep their plans or switch to The X Subscription, which bundles Cursor, Grok, and X Premium. The new plans exclude third-party model allowances and charge separately at API prices, while existing plans include some usage. Baoyu recommends keeping existing plans for Claude, GPT, or Gemini coding workflows and considering a switch for Grok users; how long existing plans remain available and whether switching back is possible are unspecified.

    Cursor joins The X Subscription with shared usage across Grok products

    Cursor is now part of The X Subscription. Current Cursor subscribers can keep their plan or switch to The X Subscription. Paid plans share one usage pool across Cursor, Grok Build, and other Grok products, with twice the coding usage on Grok models as the equivalent Cursor https://t.co/PwXLcH6zHV In the quoted announcement, @SpaceXSI says plans across Grok, Cursor, and X Premium have been unified under The X Subscription. https://t.co/SvkrVvBa0p

    Silicon Valley leaders adopt Trump's "super intelligence" rebrand for AI

    Some of Silicon Valley's most powerful figures are falling in line with President Donald Trump's push to rebrand artificial intelligence as "super intelligence." Elon Musk promised to rename SpaceXAI to SpaceXSI, Marc Benioff said Salesforce would rename AIForce to SIForce, Nvidia tied "super intelligence research" to a $1 billion commitment, and Microsoft's Satya Nadella repeatedly used the term in a post calling for an AI "emergency brake."

    Silicon Valley's AI Compute Crunch Reshapes Talent and Startup Deals

    A QbitAI roundup argues that compute access now drives talent retention, model leadership and monetization in Silicon Valley. It cites Noam Shazeer leaving Google for OpenAI after his team's compute was reallocated, Anthropic's May SpaceX deal for over 300 MW and 220,000 Nvidia GPUs, and SemiAnalysis data showing H100 one-year rental prices rising from $1.70 to $2.35 per GPU-hour between October 2025 and March 2026.

    Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite ranks #17 in Artificial Analysis video benchmarks

    Artificial Analysis reports that Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite ranks #17 on both AA-Video-T2V v2.0 and AA-Video-T2V-Silent v2.0, ahead of Google's Veo 3.1 at about a third of its price. Its median generation time of 60.5 seconds for a 10 second 1080p clip places it on the quality and speed Pareto frontier. SpaceXAI prices 1080p output at $0.14 per second ($8.40 per minute), with availability through the SpaceXAI API, fal at the same prices, and Vercel AI Gateway.

    Sam Altman says OpenAI will not go public until model safety standards are met

    In a press Q&A after his DevDay keynote, Sam Altman said OpenAI would not go public until it could make reliable commitments about model safety, and gave no timeline. He said waiting too long would be bad for the world, but worried an IPO could disappoint Wall Street investors if the company made safety-related decisions. He said an IPO would be unwise while model capabilities and safety requirements are changing rapidly. He also said Anthropic formally filed to go public in June and could IPO in November.

    Elon Musk’s AI encyclopedia Grokipedia resumes updates

    SpaceXAI’s AI encyclopedia Grokipedia resumed updates after several months without activity. Its live updates page shows recent changes to multiple entries, although many are just notices saying “rechecking all citations and sources.” The Barack Obama page showed it was “fact-checked by Grok” two days earlier; Musk’s page had just been checked at the time of writing, while the Honolulu page was last checked seven months ago. X and SpaceXAI design lead Benji Taylor said last week, “v0.2 will be better than ever.”

    Oxford and partner study finds AI's persuasive writing consistently beats human experts, with 10.8 percentage points more real donations

    Researchers at Oxford, the UK's AI Safety Institute, Stanford, and the London School of Economics ran four experiments with 6,923 participants and 18,978 conversations. They found that AI systems consistently outperformed human experts at text-based persuasion, even when experts chose their own topics, researched in advance, and were offered a £1,000 prize incentive.
