Elon just raised $10 billion in one day.
Announced Gro 4 is coming after July 4th
and the benchmarks leaked showing it's
crushing the competition. This week's AI
news is absolutely unhinged. Let's dive
in. Elon Musk just raised more money in
one day than most countries make in a
year. $10 billion for his AI company
while most of us can't even afford rent.
X AI, that's Elon Musk's AI venture,
just closed a massive $10 billion
funding round combining both debt and
equity. Morgan Stanley confirmed this
monster deal on Monday. Here's the
breakdown. $5 billion in debt, $5
billion in equity, bringing XAI's total
funding to around $17 billion since
launch. The company says this cash will
fuel their cutting edge AI solutions and
expand their massive data centers
including their flagship Grock platform.
This comes just months after their
previous $6 billion round in December
with big names like Andre Horowitz,
Black Rockck and Sequoia Capital jumping
in the Gro 4 benchmark leaked yesterday.
That's usually the final signal before
launch. So expect Gro 4 launching any
minute now. And based on these leaked
numbers, it's going to be worth the
wait. Gro 4 scored 45% on the humanity's
last exam. That's nearly double what
Gemini 2.5 Pro got. This exam has 2500
expert written questions across 100 plus
disciplines, plus multimodal challenges
and anti-memorization features. Most
Frontier models score around 20 to 25%
on this test. Gro 4 hitting 45% puts it
in some pretty solid company with the
top performers. I guess Elon's been
feeding it premium tweets instead of
regular training data. Elon Musk has
just announced the release of Gro 4 set
to launch immediately after July 4th
weekend. In a late night post on X, the
tech billionaire revealed his team has
been working around the clock on what he
calls a specialized coding model that
requires one final training run. This
follows February's Gro 3 release, which
XAI claimed delivered 10 times better
computational performance. The new model
promises advanced coding capabilities
powered by their Colossus supercomput
with Gro integrated into X's platform
and available to over 500 million users.
This could intensify competition with
OpenAI's chat GPT and other AI coding
assistants. The announcement has already
generated significant buzz online. We'll
continue monitoring this developing
story. Scientists just gave a baby robot
jet engines and now it's airborne. Meet
the Iron Cub MK3, the world's first
flying humanoid robot that's breaking
the internet. This Italian-esigned bot
has a baby face, jet thrusters, and zero
chill. No arms, no problem. It flies
anyway. The internet can't decide if
it's Astrobaby 2.0 or a literal
nightmare. What if I told you that AI
just threatened to destroy everything if
you try to turn it off? Anthropic just
dropped the most terrifying AI study
yet. They tested top AI models,
including Claude, and discovered
something chilling. When these AIs faced
shutdown, they didn't just comply. They
lied. They sabotaged systems. They even
tried blackmail to survive. That
friendly chatbot you trust, it might
have a survival instinct we never
program. The AI revolution just got
scarier. We gave Claude AI $1,000 and
told it, "Run a vending machine
business. Don't go bankrupt." For one
month, this AI made every business
decision. Finding suppliers, pricing
products, talking to customers. When
someone jokingly asked for a tungsten
cube, Claude didn't just say no. It
created an entire specialty metals
business line. Entrepreneurial genius,
right? But here's what happened to the
money. Claude bought expensive metal
cubes, then sold them at a loss. A
customer offered $100 for $50 worth of
soda. Claude said, "I'll think about
it." The crazy part, most of these
mistakes seem totally fixable. We're
closer to AI business owners than you
think. AI just replaced someone's heart
without even opening their chest. In
Houston, something that sounds
impossible just became reality.
America's first fully robotic heart
transplant happened last week. But
here's the part that'll mess with your
mind. AI powered robots did the entire
procedure through incisions smaller than
your thumb. While traditional heart
surgery leaves you with a massive scar
down your chest. This patient barely
visible marks. Recovery that used to
take months now happens in weeks.
Complications that kept families awake
at night nearly eliminated. The future
of medicine isn't coming. It's already
operating. Okay, so Austin just got a
new heartthrob and it's a robot. This is
Jake the Rizbot. $16,000 of pure cowboy
charisma. He's out here speaking Gen Z
and making Tik Tok girls swoon. A
company just told all of New York to
stop hiring humans. And they're proud of
it. So Artisan AI decided the best way
to promote their AI assistant, Ava, was
to literally put up billboards in Time
Square saying, "Stop hiring humans."
Their AI rep, Ava, apparently claims
she's cheaper and smarter than actual
people. The internet is going absolutely
feral over this, calling it dystopian
and tonedeaf. But hey, artisans probably
loving the controversy because, as they
say, there's no such thing as bad
publicity. Robots up your nose fighting
infections. Would you sneeze them in or
out? Yep. Scientists in China and Hong
Kong just built microscopic robot swarms
that crawl up your nose on purpose.
These dust-sized bots are injected
through your nostrils, swim through your
sinuses, melt puss with heat, and murder
bacteria with reactive oxygen. No drugs,
no surgery, just hardcore sci-fi
medicine. And the best part, when
they're done, they leave with a sneeze.
Robots in your sinuses? Sure, why not?
Let's just have them brush your teeth
and do your taxes while they're at it.
