We need small and cheaper models from SpaceXSI in API, using current models for personal projects is not compelling at all ...
Elon on Grok 4.8
We have dumped JAX/SGLang and rewritten the entire RL and inference stack from scratch in C/C++, which took some extra time.
Training (aka pre-training) is done. Lot of cleanup was needed on the SFT data to get that mostly right. Now, 4.8 is in RL and the evals are starting to climb. We will do a soft rollout to Bot users later this week and see how it goes.
Grok 4.8 will bear no resemblance to 4.7 (thankfully). It is not yet incredible, but, this time, the foundations are built right, so I expect it to evolve to be something special.
We still have zero knowledge on if Grok Bot will ever get Local Computer Use support ...

Powered by Tailscale OAuth apps, now GA, so you can build secure agent integrations, too.
