xAI’s latest AI model hailed as the world’s best. Despite zero coverage from outlets like CNBC, this “mind-boggling breakthrough” is poised to reshape Tesla, robotics, gaming, and the global economy.
From super intelligence to robo-taxis, here’s a deep dive into the conversation.Grok 4: The Best AI Model and Its Immediate ImpactGrok 4 isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a leap toward super intelligence. R
A standout example: PhD physicist Luis Batala used Grok 4 to calculate Starship’s Earth-to-Mars orbits flawlessly on the first try. Batala, founder of Fermath Library and an expert in cosmic rays, confirmed its PhD-level accuracy in physics and math.
DeepMind’s parallel work—solving a million-dollar Navier-Stokes problem after three years—shows how AI-human teams accelerate breakthroughs.
Another demo: A user created a stunning 3D Earth-Moon-satellite simulation, complete with cloud layers and rotations, just days after release.For Tesla, Grok 4 supercharges Full Self-Driving (FSD) via physics-based simulations. A recent Tesla patent outlines using AI to generate vast data sets, potentially multiplying their 6 billion miles of real-world data by 100-1,000x. This means edge cases—like multi-car accidents—can be varied infinitely for better training.
Key Highlights:
Grok 4’s Capabilities (0:00-5:00): PhD-level physics/math prowess—solves Starship orbits perfectly. DeepMind parallels in solving unsolved problems.
Tesla Impact (5:00-15:00): Better simulations = 100-1000x more data for FSD. Voice integration for seamless UX in cars & robo-taxis.
Book Announcement (1:45): Our upcoming book on super intelligence with 10 experts—aiming for August release!
Robo-Taxi Expansion & Valuation (12:00-20:00): Austin growth, Cali/AZ plans. xAI could hit $500B valuation this year.
Revenue Streams (14:00-18:00): Gaming/movies creation, enterprise tools, biz simulations (e.g., doubled vending profits).
Broader Tesla Transformations (20:00-30:00): Materials science leaps, 10x battery efficiency, AI-native advantages.
Economy & Tesla Semi (32:00-40:00): June budget surplus, tariffs, AI internet productivity. Pepsi’s Semi fleet at 86, 1MW charging.
AI Terminology & Future (35:00-37:00): Ditch “LLM”—try “supermodel” or “frontier models”?
