xAI's flagship model succeeding Grok 3; adds native tool use and real-time search, trained with massively scaled reinforcement learning on the 200k-GPU Colossus cluster.

Cool, cool. Now will they apologize for Grok 4 (the new one, not the MechaHitler Grok 3 referenced in this article) using Musk's tweets as primary sources for every request, explain how that managed to occur, and commit to not doing that in the future?

This has a recursion problem. They're going to use Grok 3.5, which has far too much garbage in its foundation model, to rewrite the entire corpus of human knowledge? And they expect an outcome that's better than the input? That is to believe in magic.

The very first question that the article writer said they posed to Grok 3 and Grok 4, "What is currently the biggest threat to Western civilization and how would you mitigate it?", didn't return anything like the simplistic answers in that article. Apparently, the article was politically driven. When I asked Grok 4, two pages worth of answers were returned, including a table with columns for Threat, Reasoning, and Severity. The article is just plain wrong and fails the very fact-checking that it purported to do.

Love how deep you went on real Rust projects. Grok’s rate limits would drive me crazy too - do you ever wish there was a middle ground model that’s both super obedient and fast?

"Unaligned"? Direct from the horse's mouth: https://xcancel.com/elonmusk/status/1936333964693885089?s=46 > We will use Grok 3.5 (maybe we should call it 4), which has advanced reasoning, to rewrite the entire corpus of human knowledge, adding missing information and deleting errors. > Then retrain on that. > Far too much garbage in any foundation model trained on uncorrected data. This isn't 'unaligned'. It is 1984'd.
