AI owner Elon Musk made some big claims about Grok’s capability, saying it was “better than PhD level in every subject.”

Plus, an election-related hack in Arizona, the latest on a rare Wu-Tang Clan album and the distraction of the MLK Jr. document dump.

"AI is advancing vastly faster than any human." Musk highlighted the chatbot's positive traits, arguing it would achieve "near-perfect" scores on the SATs every time, and can outperform even the best students.

Elon Musk says his AI startup xAI is working on a new application focused on child-safe content, to be called ‘Baby Grok’. The Tesla CEO made the announcement via a post on X but offered no further details on a release date or features.

One of the new “companions,” or AI characters for users to interact with, is a sexualized blonde anime bot called “Ani."

The tech billionaire’s artificial intelligence offshoot xAI debuted the new features, allow users to interact with animated characters, on Monday

This marks a shift in the AI wars. Instead of just competing on intelligence or reasoning, Musk wants Grok to feel more personal, more addictive, and more human, or at least more fun. But the reactions online show that people are split. SuperGrok now has two new companions for you, say hello to Ani and Rudy! pic.twitter.com/SRrV6T0MGT
