Having Grok Build sub-agents to iterate several ideas for me on data loading, batching, inference, and writing results to files for dense datasets before I went to sleep.
It gave me a nice summary of trade-offs and validation in the morning.
The same idea can be extended to almost anything as long as gradient descent and stochastic sampling apply.
Looking forward to how you utilize the sub-agents.

Tip on Grok Build Grok 4.3 VLM
One of my critical tasks is to keep Grok VLM in the loop. Throwing a default system prompt usually yields poor results due to lack of context.
Here is how to scale:
- Curate a small but diverse evaluation set that can be rapidly iterated on.
- Enter the prompt: “Make a plan to design and execute a task that a) takes input per entry from: <input>, b) generates output per entry to: <output>, c) the ground truth of output: <ground truth>. Launch sub-agents to iterate on strategy to optimize recall and precision against ground truth until both metrics reach <threshold>.”
Done. Watch your research agents do the work.

grok-build-0.1 is now available via the xAI API in public beta.
This is the same model that powers the Grok Build CLI and excels at agentic coding.
Priced at $1/m input and $2/m output, it’s extremely cost effective, intelligent, and fast.

“I’ll kill your whole f–king family. Your whole f–king family is dead. Your children, your wife, all dead."
A left-wing activist in Newark was caught on camera shouting those words at an unmasked ICE officer as protests outside the Delaney ICE facility turned chaotic.
Acting AG Todd Blanche is now firing back, promising that the "disgusting" activist will be caught and charged, emphasizing that threatening a federal officer and their family is a federal crime.
“That is disgusting … and we see his face and I promise you we will find him, and when we find him, we will arrest him."

You literally admitted on national television that you tried to put Rupert Lowe in prison because of political differences.
He wanted to deport Pakistani child rapists and their accomplice wives.
So you then rang the police.
Nobody is forgetting that.

SpaceX put 10 megawatts of solar power in space across 3000 gen1 Starlink satellites, then they put 100 megawatts in space with 7000 gen2. soon, they're doing 1000 megawatts with gen3. SpaceX is basically 10xing space solar every few years!

Both men said “I can’t breathe”, but only one man’s death was covered relentlessly by the media.
The only conclusion that can be drawn is that the legacy mainstream media is incredibly, hatefully racist against Whites.

On the remarkable return on capital potential for Starlink on Starship.
Including customer acquisition cost, ground station capex, and an expendable top stage, we think SpaceX should be able to launch its 10th commercial starship rocket for ~$500m.
The bandwidth it launches could yield $1.2 billion in revenue annually for as long as the satellites are in orbit. 13x cash on cash return.
For a time (100 launches or so) cash requirements per kg (and per tbps) of launch should roughly keep pace with the revenue decay in monetizing incremental orbital comms throughput. Basically, their per launch cost decline, driven by rocket upsizing, satellite manufacturing efficiency and full re-useability, should out-compete declining ARPU (or at least keep pace).
Net, very crudely, it works to the company being able to deploy $50b in capital building satellites, launching rockets and acquiring customers at a ~13x cash on cash return over a few years.
This is a business without precedent.

Happy 1st Birthday, Starbase.
One year ago today, Starbase officially became a city. In that time, we’ve hosted multiple Starship flight tests, grown our community of people building the future of spaceflight, and worked to protect our beaches and natural resources for generations to come.
Next year will be even bigger. More launches. More progress. And we’re just getting started!
Thank you to everyone who has been part of Starbase’s first year as a city.

TERAFAB IS GOING TO BE INSANE.
We’re targeting 100–200 billion custom AI memory chips per year at full ramp that’s 1 terawatt (1,000 GW) of annual AI compute capacity. Roughly 50x current global AI chip output.
This isn’t incremental. This is the kind of scale that actually moves the needle on civilization.
Breakdown:
- 80% (~160 billion chips / 800 GW) → radiation-hardened D3 chips for orbital data centers. Space-based compute at massive scale, powered by solar, low latency for Earth, immune to most terrestrial risks.
- 20% (~40 billion chips / 200 GW) → terrestrial AI5 & AI6 edge inference processors for Tesla vehicle fleets and Optimus robots.
Facility plan: start at 100k wafer-starts/month, scale to 1 million wafers/month. Everything design, EUV lithography, fab, memory, packaging, test under one roof. That recursive self-improvement loop is the real unlock.
Small-batch AI5 chips in 2026. High-volume Terafab output targeted for mid-2028/2029.
This is how we make AI abundant, affordable, and truly useful for making life multi-planetary and maximizing human potential.
The future is going to be ridiculously bright.

Mostly true. What matters is securing the long-term future of consciousness, both on Earth and other heavenly bodies.
We cannot just focus on Earth, because there are irreducible external (eg massive meteor) and internal (eg global nuclear war) cataclysmic risks.
The Moon is faster to make self-growing, but is more susceptible to problems on Earth. Mars will take longer to make self-growing, because it is so hard to reach, but is more secure from Earth disasters for that same reason.
Both the Moon and Mars should have self-growing civilizations. Making this happen is the prime directive of SpaceX.
Former SpaceX astronaut Garrett Reisman reveals the single prism Elon Musk runs every major decision through
"He measures pretty much every major decision by whether or not it brings the day when we have a self-sustainable colony on Mars sooner or later"
"That's the prism by which he makes every single decision he makes"
"He's got an idea and he'll keep pushing, and he gives us aggressive timelines that we have to work to"
"We work really hard to try to meet them. It's hard when you're doing stuff that's this complicated to predict exactly how long it's going to take"
"We end up falling a little bit behind, but we do our best"

President Trump has been clear from the beginning that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and I trust he will hold the Iranian regime accountable and do what’s best for the American people and our homeland.
This is very important progress in the President’s goal in bringing lasting peace to the region.

Starship’s Super Heavy booster produces roughly the same thrust as ~80 Boeing 747s all firing at once
The scale of that power is almost incomprehensible
Its Raptor 3 engines are true marvels of engineering - each one generating an insane ~280 metric tons of thrust while operating at chamber pressures approaching ~350 bar, making them the most advanced rocket engines ever built

I set 7 cameras near the pad for starship’s 12th test flight.
In a first for me, all 7 got INCREDIBLE photos. Here’s a little peak at one… but there are a lot more. I’ll post some of my favorites tomorrow, and release at least one in print.

Interesting
This is a major reason why mass immigration generates such intense resentment.
Many immigrants not only fail to identify with their new country and its native people, but they actively oppose them and everything the host culture represents.
Here she is, the same person defines “ethnic cleansing” as the permanent resettlement of an entire ethnic group from their homeland, yet openly celebrates the demographic decline of the white British population, declaring “We are winning.”
This isn’t treason. Treason implies betrayal from within a group.
This is something else entirely: a demographic invasion by people who were never part of the historic British nation. An ethnic cleansing per her own definition.
When native Britons say “send them all back,” it’s really hard not to sympathize.
