SpaceXAI2026-08-31 10:53:09Lauren Tan says GrokBot now handles end-to-end PR flow as monthly output tops 1,000Lauren Tan, the engineer leading GrokBot at SpaceXAI, said she now runs more than 20 agents at once and saw them deliver more than 1,000 pull requests last month, with a target to double that figure in August. In a team workshop, Tan showed a GitHub contribution curve covering five months and more than 3,000 PRs, arguing that the jump did not come from blind faith in bigger models but from stricter verification and tighter repository constraints. According to Tan, the workflow can now cover the full chain from opening a PR and running validation to merging into main, often without her touching the code directly. She said the setup relies on multiple GrokBot instances running inside her open-source pstack system, along with commands such as /loop, /goal, and /swarm. She also described key components behind the process, including a control system called control glass, a feature map that tells agents how product surfaces are organized, and an earlier automated bug-handling agent named Benny. Tan said the larger shift is in how engineering work is organized. In her view, the value of human engineers is moving away from writing every line by hand and toward setting goals, defining permissions, and deciding what counts as correct code. She compared her role to that of a head chef: not cooking every dish, but designing the kitchen, assigning stations, and making sure the system holds.23100
Grok2026-08-30 06:17:08Grok to Phase Out AI Companions After Sept. 1; Ani and Others Move to AnimatesAccording to BlockBeats, SpaceXAI will remove the Companions feature from the Grok app after September 1. Ani and other 3D AI companions are not being discontinued; instead, they are moving to a standalone application called Animates. Grok has already started showing users pop-up notifications about the change, and Animates confirmed that SpaceXAI is assisting with the migration. Ani is already live on Animates, with other characters scheduled to join in the coming period. Animation Inc, the company behind Animates, previously took part in producing the 3D characters and animations for Grok Companions. There is no public equity relationship between the two companies. The adjustment effectively spins off Grok’s 3D companion business and hands it to the original partner team to continue operating. It remains unclear whether chat history and long-term memory inside Grok can be migrated along with the characters. So far, officials have only confirmed the character transfer, and no user data migration plan has been disclosed.900
Nvidia2026-08-24 15:07:27Nvidia Says SpaceXAI Will Deploy Vera CPU and Extend Vera Rubin to Orbital ComputingNvidia said on Aug. 24 that SpaceXAI will deploy its Vera CPU to speed up next-generation agentic AI applications. Vera is the first CPU built specifically for AI agents, according to Nvidia, and it features 88 in-house Olympus cores, spatial multithreading and LPDDR5X memory with bandwidth of 1.2 TB/s. Nvidia said the chip can deliver up to 1.8 times faster task completion than x86 CPUs in agentic AI, reinforcement learning and data processing workloads. SpaceXAI President Mike Nicolls said Vera’s CPU performance and memory bandwidth are enough to support large-scale task orchestration, code execution and data processing while keeping GPUs running efficiently. SpaceXAI also plans to expand the AI infrastructure behind Grok using Nvidia’s Vera Rubin platform and move toward gigawatt-scale compute capacity. Vera Rubin combines Nvidia accelerated computing, NVLink interconnect, Spectrum-X networking and BlueField data processing technology, with the goal of lowering per-token cost and improving overall AI factory efficiency. Nvidia also said SpaceXAI will send an optimized Vera Rubin NVL72 system into space, where the first-generation Starmind AI satellite will use the rack-scale architecture. Nvidia described that as its first landmark deployment extending accelerated computing from terrestrial data centers to orbital computing.1350

SpaceXAI2026-08-21 11:49:32Two Solana meme coins jump after SpaceXAI product manager calls crypto community "crazy"Two Solana meme coins posted sharp gains after Nate Esparza, a senior technical product manager at SpaceXAI, described the crypto community as "crazy" in a post on X, according to Techub News. Jimothy The Raccoon (JIMOTHY) rose 41% over the past 24 hours, while Bullshit Coin (BULLSHIT) gained 21%. Market data cited in the report showed JIMOTHY trading near $0.0096 with a market capitalization of about $9.7 million. BULLSHIT was trading near $0.0038, with roughly $4.7 million in 24-hour trading volume. The report said both tokens have no roadmap, treasury, or product, with social attention acting as the main driver. Techub also noted that SpaceXAI was formed after Elon Musk folded his artificial intelligence company xAI into SpaceX in February this year. Musk had previously posted a raccoon-related video that helped push JIMOTHY sharply higher for a short period.1380
SpaceXAI2026-08-14 17:41:41SpaceXAI launches Grok 4.6 in GitHub CopilotChainCatcher reported that SpaceXAI has launched the Grok 4.6 model in GitHub Copilot. The input only states the product release and does not provide added details on rollout scope, technical specifications, pricing, or timing beyond the published timestamp. Based on the available information, the key fact is limited to Grok 4.6 becoming available in GitHub Copilot under SpaceXAI’s launch announcement. No other companies, user metrics, performance claims, or supporting statements were included in the source text.
