xAI released Grok 4.7, a new model built on a larger base and trained with a longer reinforcement learning run focused on lengthy, difficult tasks. The model improves self-verification and long-context handling, and is natively tuned for the Grok Bot harness to boost conversational and knowledge-work performance. It ships at the same pricing and speed as Grok 4.6.
SpaceXAI has opened public beta access to Grok Bot, a software agent that logs into services like Gmail, LinkedIn and Salesforce to complete tasks such as filling forms, sending emails and posting on social media. Unlike the conversational Grok chatbot or the coding-focused Grok Build, Grok Bot acts as a persistent digital assistant that can run multiple linked bots on a shared cloud account, working autonomously and reporting back or requesting approval when needed.
A researcher stress-tested Meta Muse, the personal AI agent Meta launched on September 8, 2026, by asking it to spawn 120 subagents simultaneously through the exposed subagent.spawn interface. Only 33 of the 120 calls successfully created an agent, while the remaining 87 failed, and durable trace data showed six database lock timeouts during the process. The author later added clarifications and outside architectural context but did not alter the underlying experimental data.
A new episode of Dwarkesh Patel's podcast features researchers John Schulman, Beren Millidge and Charlie O'Neill discussing how close AI systems are to achieving recursive self-improvement, where models could enhance their own capabilities without human intervention. The conversation, drawn from researchers at leading AI labs, opens with arguments against the idea that such self-improvement is imminent.
SpaceXAI has extended its Grok Bot AI teammate app beyond iPhone and Mac to iPad and Android, while adding enterprise support for Grok and Cursor customers. The subscription cost has dropped sharply from an initial $300 per month down to Cursor Pro's $20 monthly tier, with enterprise users getting free access for a limited time.
A community developer has released an unofficial build that repackages Cursor's Electron-based Grok Bot app, officially available only for macOS and Windows, so it runs natively on Ubuntu and other Linux distributions. The project swaps out Windows-only native components and packages the app as a .deb, tarball, or AppImage, currently targeting Grok Bot version 0.29.0 on Electron 42.1.0.
