Elon Musk considers x-data to be the trump card of xAI for building AGI

Elon Musk, the founder of xAI, announced at the Baron investment conference that his company’s future AI model, the Grok 5, has a chance to reach Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Musk believes that the main key to this success is exclusive access to live and real data from Platform X (formerly Twitter); Something that competitors like OpenAI and Google do not benefit from.

In his recent interview, Elon Musk said that there is a 10% chance that the Grok 5 model will reach the level of artificial intelligence. According to his prediction, this model, which is supposed to be released in early 2026, will have 6 trillion parameters, much larger than the current models.

Musk also claims that the Grok 5 has a “higher intelligence density,” delivering more intelligence per gigabyte. In addition, the real-time video understanding capability allows the model to analyze live videos; This feature is important for achieving comprehensive artificial intelligence.

Elon Musk’s plan to achieve comprehensive artificial intelligence

Elon Musk says xAI’s main difference from other AI companies is access to “live data”. While competitors use static and legacy datasets to train their models, Grok is connected to the endless stream of real-time data from Platform X. He considers the X social network “by far the best source of real-time data in the world.” In addition to public posts, users’ interaction with Grock itself also helps to improve and refine the model.

In addition to artificial intelligence, Musk provided some interesting statistics about Tesla’s progress: He claimed that Tesla’s fully self-driving system is now 4 times safer than human drivers. For this reason, Tesla is now showing this feature to all customers for added security.

Also, he predicts about the Optimus robot that with mass production (rate of 1 million units), the cost of making these humanoid robots will be reduced to 20-30 thousand dollars. He sees a future where there will be 30-40 billion robots (how many robots for every human) in the world.
