The Trump Administration’s Department of Government Efficiency has been a project largely defined by ever-diminishing expectations. At the outset of DOGE’s journey, its chief operator, Elon Musk, famously claimed, in a bout of wild optimism, that he hoped to cut “at least” $2 trillion out of the federal budget. Not long after the election, Musk reduced his ambitions to $1 trillion. Throughout the first few months of Trump’s second term, DOGE claimed to be saving Americans billions, but analyses

xAI is testing Grok 4.20 to take on GPT-5, may launch this month

Elon Musk-owned xAI is testing Grok 4.20, a new model update to Grok 4, which already competes with GPT-5 in some benchmarks, such as ARC-AGI 2. GPT-5 is one of the best models for coding, and it competes with Claude Opus 4.1 head-to-head in some coding challenges. On the other hand, Grok falls a bit short when it comes to building full-fledged apps. But that might change soon as xAI is testing Grok 4.20.
