Grok has been in the headlines for wild answers and Musk’s bold claims. Now it takes another turn.
Musk released Grok 2.5 on Hugging Face for anyone to try.
Grok 3 will also be open sourced in about six months.
The license has limits, so it is not fully open.
Past versions sparked controversy with conspiracy theories and odd answers.
Critics say the latest Grok often mirrors Musk’s own posts.
OpenAI says SPV-based “exposure” to its stock is worthless.
SPVs pool outsider money but create messy ownership.
Anthropic is also blocking SPV investments.
Only direct, strategic capital will be accepted.
Would you ever invest in AI startups through an SPV? |

Meta will use Midjourney’s image and video AI in future apps.
Midjourney stays independent and already makes strong revenue.
Meta is stacking partnerships after Scale AI and Play AI.
Goal is to close the gap with OpenAI, Google, and others.
Apple is in talks to use Google’s Gemini for a Siri upgrade.
They also explored OpenAI and Anthropic options.
Siri is weak compared to rival assistants.
Outsourcing shows Apple’s in-house AI is lagging.
If Siri got a true AI upgrade, would you use it more? |

.@OpenAI confused users by masking models and auto-choosing.
Still, ChatGPT 5 Pro is very, very good. It delivers PhD-performance as promised.
