| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the podcast. I'm your host, Jaden Schaefer. Today on the show, I'm talking about something |
| 0:04.3 | pretty wild that just happened. Elon Musk just hosted a 45-minute all-hands meeting on X, and he did it for XAI and basically laid out their entire roadmap for getting data centers in space. This is something, I'd seen a bunch of articles that are kind of critical. They don't think this is possible. A lot of people say this is just kind of an IPO play. And I think Elon's really making the case that he is going to try to do this. I think what's really interesting with this in particular is that this was an all hands meeting for the company and they publicly posted it. I think this is, I mean, you wouldn't see Boeing or any of these other competitors doing this. Usually everything's, you know, has these roadmaps and there's all these NDAs and there's like these really carefully scripted keynotes. To me, this was really interesting to just see, you know, the whole thing laid out and, you know, the whole plan just put out to the public. So in the video, I'm going to break down basically what Elon Musk's long-term vision is for XAI and also the near-term product execution. We'll talk about some of the infrastructure strategy and how X and SpaceX and XAI are all kind of tying together. This is a fascinating conversation. Before we get into all of that, I wanted to say if you want to try any of the top AI models, including all the latest from XAI, like their |
| 1:11.0 | GROC model and everything else that they're rolling out. I'd love for you to try out AIbox.aI, my own startup. I let you access over 50 of the top AI models, image, audio, text, and we just dropped a brand new tier, which is 899. So for 899, you get access to over 50 of the top AI models. Basically, you consolidate all of your different subscriptions into one place. You chat with them all in the same place and you don't have to go shuffling through tabs or logging into different accounts to try to find where you had a conversation or if you want to try the latest from Anthropic or Google Gemini or whatever. It's all in one place for 899. So if you want to try it out, it's AIbox.a.i. You also can vibe code really cool tools and post them. So go check it out. I'll leave a link in the description. I think a lot of the address was kind of focused on a whole bunch of people that have recently just left XAI. There was a bunch of kind of the original team members, a lot of the founders of XAI that left. |
| 2:01.8 | This is what he said about it. |
| 2:03.3 | He said, as the company grows, especially as quickly as XAI, the structure must evolve. |
| 2:07.9 | And this was actually an ex post he put out. |
| 2:09.4 | He said, this unfortunately required parting wades with some people. |
| 2:13.8 | I think like reorganizing the side of these companies are growing very fast is quite common. |
| 2:18.5 | I think what was interesting to me with all of this is kind of the new structure. |
| 2:22.8 | So XAI is now splitting into four primary teams. |
| 2:26.2 | They have GROC, which is the voice, you know, the LLM and the voice that goes with it. |
| 2:31.2 | And basically all the core chatbot experiences. |
| 2:33.9 | They then have the coding system powered software generation team. So that's really kind of being like a Claude competitor is what they're trying to build. And they actually do have a model that ranks quite well on the benchmarks for software development. It might even be number one at times. But because they don't have all the integrations and custom stuff that cloud code has, |
| 2:51.0 | cloud code is still far, you know, as far as usage goes is way ahead. Then they have the imagine. |
| 2:56.3 | This is the video and image generation components of XAI. And then they have macro hard. This is, |
| 3:03.2 | I mean, basically, I think they're just trying to make fun of Microsoft and call it macro hard. |
| 3:08.4 | But basically it's an AI initiative, which they're kind of focusing on full computer task automation |
| 3:13.3 | and then corporate scale modeling. |
| 3:15.8 | And really just trying to compete with everything that Microsoft makes and just call it macro hard. |
| 3:22.2 | So anyways, this classic Elon. |
| 3:25.1 | Macro hard is going to be led by Toby Flynn, and that is, I think, maybe one of the most, |
| 3:31.4 | I guess it's just a really big play. |
