The Future of AI Infra: from Kubernetes to Agent Sandboxes — Akshat Bubna, Modal CTO
- ▶ 51:56 unnamed speaker It's interesting as well, like, we had, uh, Ethan, uh, most recently on the XAI Grok team make a prediction that actually, like, the next tier in video gen is not a better video model. 2 times in the scene
🔬 The Limits of AI in Science - Why We Need Self-Driving Labs — Joseph Krause, Radical AI
- ▶ 1:14:16 unnamed speaker Yeah, there's probably a proprietary or model or two, the same way there's a proprietary model or two today that I can run, whether it's Claude or, or, or, um, ChatGPT or Grok or whatever your favorite AI is.
When AI Agents Run Businesses — Lukas Petersson and Axel Backlund of Andon Labs
- ▶ 44:54 Lukas Petersson Like there was one point where, where Grok IV was doing really well and made like a huge jump, but like, it wasn't really like, it was still way, way worse than what a human would do. 3 times in the scene
Inside xAI: Building Grok Imagine in 3 Months, Videogen vs World Models, and Video Agents— Ethan He
- ▶ 4:03 Ethan He And it just, just a few engineers, we, we built it in three months and released the first model, Grok Imagine,
- ▶ 4:45 Shawn Wang Grok previously was only text or they partnered with BFL for, uh, their, their image and stuff.
- ▶ 42:45 Ethan He So, uh, Grok Imagine, there were .9, I, I believe it's, uh, is a first, uh, first audio video trends model deployed at a large scale. 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 53:33 Ethan He So one of the first step, uh, at Gorky mentioned where I, I led a small world model team there was, was to build video extension.
- ▶ 55:32 Ethan He So the Glock Imagine video extension, it has historical context of all of the previous generated videos.
- ▶ 1:01:19 unnamed speaker Oddly enough, I, I used Grok search to find it, and it pulled your LinkedIn post.
- ▶ 1:10:26 Shawn Wang No, but Grok voice, actually, like, very good. 3 times in the scene
- ▶ 1:11:25 Ethan He So in all of the, those countries, uh, Grok imagined had watermarks and a lot of the, lots of takedowns of
- ▶ 1:20:26 Shawn Wang Uh, as far as I can tell from your description of Grok Image, it is not.
- ▶ 1:23:44 Ethan He Actually, there's, uh, Grok, Grok Imagine agent beta. 3 times in the scene
- ▶ 1:27:18 Shawn Wang Reasoning model, slap it on the harness, give it Grok as a tool.

Mistral: Voxtral TTS, Forge, Leanstral, & Mistral 4 — w/ Pavan Kumar Reddy & Guillaume Lample
- ▶ 35:34 unnamed speaker I, I think for, for voice, yeah, the key thing, I think over maybe like the last year or so with VO and Grok Imagine and all these things is, uh, joining voice with video, right?
⚡️ OpenClaw's Memory Sucks and the fix is simple — Dhravya Shah, Supermemory
- ▶ 11:27 unnamed speaker I think hook base is probably right because obviously models make mistakes and I get very, very frustrated when like I use Grok in XAI and it doesn't search tweets. 2 times in the scene
Measuring Exponential Trends Rising (in AI) — Joel Becker, METR
- ▶ 40:23 Shawn Wang Model sort of API side don't see it, but this is all downstream of like, well, our like, 10,000 GPU cluster just came online and like, well, it takes six months to do it, and therefore Grok five will be here.
The AI Frontier: from Gemini 3 Deep Think distilling to Flash — Jeff Dean
- ▶ 23:50 Shawn Wang And then, uh, most recently Grok also for, for XAI, which is like, yeah.
⚡️ Reverse Engineering OpenAI's Training Data — Pratyush Maini, Datology
- ▶ 7:08 Pratyush Maini And so then I tried this across models, and I saw consistently across Grok, and GPT, and Gemini, that you were seeing this phenomena where models will, like, self-correct themselves quite a bit, and these were, like, non-thinking models.
- ▶ 25:07 Pratyush Maini Then the, even grok,
Captaining IMO Gold, Deep Think, On-Policy RL, Feeling the AGI in Singapore — Yi Tay
- ▶ 57:57 unnamed speaker And you, we had this like Grok chart, which is very interesting, where we're sending the same amount of compute on Cygrain as to, you think it's a Cyop?
Artificial Analysis: The Independent LLM Analysis House — with George Cameron and Micah Hill-Smith
- ▶ 37:26 Micah Hill-Smith There's an interesting extra, um, data point that Elon Musk revealed recently about XAI that for three trillion parameters for Grok three and four, six trillion for Grok five.
