So much has been built since then!
When @MKBHD interviewed Elon 8 years ago, Fremont was Tesla’s only car factory. Since then, $TSLA added 3 more car factories, a Tesla Semi factory, 3 Megapacktories, a lithium refinery, 4680 battery cell production, the world’s best-selling car: Model Y, and a Level 4 Cybercab.

Grok
Grok 4.6 just ranked #2 in agentic U.S. administrative/regulatory legal research and the cost is insane • Grok 4.6 — 62.12% | $1.52/test • Claude Opus 5 — 65.15% | $6.58/test • GPT-5.6 Sol — 60.61% | $19.69/test Grok actually beats GPT-5.6 Sol on accuracy while costing roughly 13× less per test And it comes within just 3 percentage points of Opus 5, while Opus costs more than 4× as much This is exactly where Grok 4.6 is getting ridiculous It’s delivering frontier-level agentic performance at a fraction of the cost Grok is making high-end AI dramatically cheaper to actually use

Starship Flight 13 is being recovered from sea
After approx. 24 days at sea, the SpaceX Recovery team successfully guided Starship to a location just off the coast of Christmas Island. A team of SpaceX engineers is on their way to conduct additional analysis on the vehicle in calmer waters before attempting to return it to Starbase

Grok 4.6 takes top spot on this benchmark
🥇 We evaluated Grok 4.6 on MedAgentBench, a benchmark for agentic clinical EHR tasks, and it took the top spot. Grok 4.6 posts the highest pass@1 we've measured to date, moving ahead of the previous leader, GPT-5.6 Sol, to claim first place on the leaderboard. 🏥 Grok 4.6 averages ~95.9% pass@1 (avg of 3 runs), edging out the prior best (GPT-5.6-sol at ~94.7%) and improving on Grok 4.5 by roughly 2.5 points. On a benchmark where the model acts as an autonomous agent in a simulated EHR, calling FHIR APIs to complete clinical tasks across 10 task types, the result is also remarkably consistent run to run (95.3% to 96.3%). 📊 Leaderboards: medicalsphere.ai/benchmarks

Grok 4.6 is my daily driver now. This is why: When I’m using interactive agents in a CLI/terminal (or even Slack), what matters most to me is speed & token throughput. Intelligence and differences in performance on benchmarks is negligible to me when speed is sacrificed. If I am there to steer & guide the agent, or make some quick fixes, then I don’t want to wait 5+ min per turn. Opus 5 (fast) is a good solution to this, but it is WAY too expensive. Grok 4.6 is perfect though, incredibly fast, almost as smart as Fable, and relatively much cheaper than anything else right now. On the flip side, for cloud agents working in Factories & background tasks triggered on crons, I don’t mind using intelligent, slow models like Fable / Sol. I’d even opt for a model router for cloud tasks that biases to heavy, smart models. I guess the meta point I’m making here is that model choice is largely a function of whether there’s a human waiting in the loop.

Grok @Bot
I think Grok @Bot is a glimpse into the future of personal AI agents. Here's my new tutorial where I show you how to set up 5 useful bots: 1. An advisor to create and manage your bots 2. A YouTube researcher to find outlier videos 3. An X scout to find viral and funny tweets 4. A digital Marie Kondo to clean up your inbox and save money on paid subscriptions 5. A personal concierge to save money on trips I also tested a Gamer bot to see if Grok Bot can install and play classic games like Doom, Red Alert, and Commander Keen. Plus, I discuss the biggest barrier to Grok Bot adoption and whether it can replace ChatGPT as my daily driver. 📌 Watch now: piped.video/MkVcHbviYOw

1/2 the turns and 25% of the tokens. Task/Token is something to watch. Is Grok 4.6 inside Grok Bot? Has this been revealed yet? Have I missed it? I’ve been wondering what magic allows grok bot to just work so consistently.
Agentic work is where @grok 4.6 lands hardest, taking the top spot on the Artificial Analysis Agentic Index at 59, tied with Claude Opus 5 Max. The index measures tool use, planning, autonomy and complex problem solving rather than single answers Grok 4.6 completes tasks in ~53 turns and ~0.5bn input tokens on average, against ~103 turns and ~2.0bn for Claude Opus 5 Max Cost of $0.84 per task, putting it on the intelligence versus cost per task Pareto frontier Enterprises buying agents pay per completed task, not per benchmark point. Turn efficiency is what determines whether a long-running workflow is affordable at volume. Two labs now sit at the top of this index with very different cost structures. Buyers get real choice on price for the first time in agentic deployment.

Grok 4.6 is smart, super fast & affordable
Grok 4.6 just broke into the Top 3 on the Artificial Analysis Healthcare & Medical Index Grok 4.6 (high) scores 50 - just ONE point off the top score of 51 It outperforms GPT-5.6 Sol, Kimi K3 and Gemini 3.7 Flash This index measures how models actually handle healthcare and medical work: • Medical and health knowledge • Clinical reasoning • Patient documentation • Non-hallucination • Agentic workflows Healthcare is one of the highest-stakes domains you can test an AI on And Grok is now competing at the very top of it

Grok @Bot
I think @bot is another “Claude Code” moment for AI. I would estimate my personal AI usage is up something like 100x. And for everyone who reached out about how to build a “podcast summarizer” it took me about 15 seconds in Grok Bot and is better than what I had before.

OMG. I asked my Chief Engineer on Grok @bot to bring up the feature and it's done. 😳 I can text my @maticrobots now through my Grok @bot—anywhere and anytime.
Okay, I need to figure out how to connect my Grok @bot to @maticrobots so I can text it where to clean.
