One year ago, Grok was only available on 𝕏, with no website and limited access Fast forward to today, and Grok has expanded across platforms with rapid feature rollouts and major upgrades New models. New apps. New features. Big upgrades Constant shipping This kind of progress does not happen without an insanely driven team xAI is moving at an unmatched pace, shipping updates faster than almost anyone in AI right now

To paraphrase the late Charlie Munger... There are only two places in the world where they haven't lost the pure faith in Communism: North Korea and the English department at Yale. https://t.co/YtITUuSFzz

BREAKING: Grok app traffic is surging. 🚀 Daily active users climbed from 6.1 million in August to over 10.1 million in the past 28 days, 66% increase, as per the latest @SimilarWeb data. https://t.co/UBpVKiAuie

XAI TO LEGACY AI: STOP REPEATING LIES xAI isn’t building just another chatbot. It’s going after the entire system that filters, censors, and sanitizes reality. Most AI models are shown locked into echo chambers, “repeating approved lies” while appearing obedient and safe xAI’s model is visually separated. A cracked statue, glowing truth lines, and data swirling around it “Facts That Push Progress” appears as the core value, rejecting conformity in favor of transparency Visuals show a clean break from legacy AI. No censorship, no filters, no groupthink This whole thing’s less about building AI and more about shaping what people believe. Forget polished responses. xAI is marketing itself as the AI that chooses truth over comfort, no matter how disruptive Source: @xAI, @grok

BREAKING: Grok just took the #1 spot in coding performance benchmark. Grok 4.1 Fast outscored both Google and OpenAI on code understanding and large file systems. Grok leads where it matters for developers. https://t.co/JgYQYy8pGp

MiniMax M2.1 just dropped. Been using it for the last couple of hours. It's crazy good! I built a deep research agent and used M2.1 for orchestration. Agentic capabilities feel unmatched. Reports generated are next level. https://t.co/3oL1MsxnA4

Here’s Claude absolutely RIPPING building a modern mansion draft with primitives—using UnrealMCP to control Unreal Engine by himself. You prompt what you want, he does what you ask. He can be creative too. Tiny little mini tutorial thread 👇 🌸 https://t.co/sCpzeHfjp3

Nano Banana Pro 🍌 is insanely good! Combine it with @Gammaapp for a fully creative studio in your browser. I told it "Recreate Apple's iPhone launch", and it generated a hyper-realistic presentation in <1 min. How it works: (Comment “Gamma” for 500 prompts to get started) https://t.co/gOIBgCBj9V

I first enabled studio mode. Then I asked Gamma: “Create a social media feed for this small-batch olive oil brand.” In under a minute, Nano Banana Pro generated: → Hyper‑realistic product shots → Perfect label text and typography on every bottle. No shoot, no Photoshop, just a single prompt.

I pushed it further: “Recreate the 2007 iPhone launch as a presentation.” Gamma used Nano Banana Pro to: → Generate slides with a Steve‑Jobs‑style presenter on stage. → Add researched context and visuals for each key moment of the keynote. https://t.co/2laKpQXeT0

Next test: “Build a website for a realtor in Austin.” Gamma + Nano Banana Pro spun up: → A ready‑to‑publish landing page with hero images, sections, and CTAs. → All hosted inside Gamma, no extra setup or dev work. From idea to live‑ready page in under a minute. https://t.co/VCcQFWdHtN

What really changes the game: → Nano Banana Pro can render sharp, accurate text in images (logos, UIs, mockups, ads). → Gamma’s agent lets you make bulk edits across slides, pages, and docs instead of fixing one by one. https://t.co/JTAwQO3xDv

And for those who want to level up with Gamma: Nano Banana Pro HD in Gamma’s Ultra plan gives you 4K‑level quality for decks and sites. https://t.co/rNCSWT5cVb

Oh, and the best part? Nano Banana Pro is now free to use, regardless of your tier. Get started here: https://t.co/MfeVcxTvof https://t.co/Qbv0NjKQ9d

Something big is happening in robotics - and it’s hiding in plain sight. This post is not about dancing robots but in the data that powers them. Open robotics datasets have exploded this year, turning the field into a more scalable and collaborative ecosystem. In just two years, @huggingface datasets grew from 11k to over 600k - and robotics is by far the fastest-growing segment. We went from 1k robotics datasets in 2024 to 27k in 2025! For comparison, text generation, the second-largest category, has only around 5k datasets in 2025. That gap is massive. Open datasets are important because robotics lives and dies by real-world robot data - video, actions, sensors, failures. By making this data easy to upload, reuse, and benchmark, researchers, startups, and large players are now releasing real-robot datasets that would have stayed locked inside labs just a few years ago. Major contributors include @nvidia, LeRobot initiative, and a rapidly growing maker community. This surge is also enabled by cheaper video storage, better tooling, and an open-source AI culture now spilling into the physical world. And it really matters: open robotics data dramatically lowers entry barriers, accelerates learning-by-doing, and speeds up progress toward generalist and humanoid robots. Robotics won’t scale through hardware alone - but to a large extent through shared data. Viz below from @aiworld_eu - link to the story and more viz/filters in comment.

🚀 New on ModelScope: QwenLong-L1.5 is now fully open-source! A 30B model (3B active params) that matches GPT-5 & Gemini-2.5-Pro in long-context reasoning. 🔥 Key wins: ✅ +31.7 pts on OpenAI’s MRCR (128K context → SOTA across all models) ✅ Matches Gemini-2.5-Pro on 6 major long-QA benchmarks ✅ +9.69 on CorpusQA, +6.16 on LongBench-V2 How? Three breakthroughs: 1️⃣ Synthetic data at scale: 14.1K long-reasoning samples from 9.2B tokens — no human labeling. Avg. length: 34K tokens (max: 119K!). 2️⃣ Stable RL training: Task-balanced sampling + Adaptive Entropy-Controlled Policy Optimization (AEPO) for reliable long-sequence learning. 3️⃣ Memory-augmented architecture: Iterative memory updates beyond the 256K window → +9.48 pts on 1M–4M token tasks! All weights, data recipes, and training code are open: 📄 Paper: https://t.co/MzlHXeardA 📥 Model: https://t.co/kE3q4HLhdk 💻 GitHub: https://t.co/KghF3mp9H3
