BREAKING: Elon Musk on Grok 4.7 in his new interview:
“Grok 4.7, a solid workhorse of a model. It's not as good as, say, Opus 5.5 that just got released. But also, we've only been around for about three years doing AI, whereas Anthropic's been around for six years. So I would expect that we probably catch up to Frontier sometime next year, most likely. In the meantime, I think Grok is very useful for many things.”

Samson was the size of an NFL lineman or one of those massive guys, like Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson or Brian Shaw, champions of the World's Strongest Man competition. Mountains of muscle.
Well, no. Quite the opposite, probably.
Samson was likely about 5'6" and 135 pounds. Give or take. About the average size of an adult male in his time. Why? Because no one could figure out the source of his incredible strength.
I mean, come on, if Samson were 6'8" and 375 pounds, do you really imagine the Philistines needed Delilah to “seduce him, and see where his great strength lies” (Judg. 16:5)? It would have been as plain as day.
So, sorry, but most those Sunday School pictures of Samson are wrong.
Samson’s strength was from above, a gift from God. His long, uncut hair symbolized his Nazirite calling (Judg. 13:5; 16:17), but his hair was not magical. Again and again, Judges tells us the true source of his power: “The Spirit of the LORD rushed upon him” (Judg. 14:6, 19; 15:14).
His strength came from outside himself.
His weakness came from inside himself.
There’s something deeply Christian about that.
A saying attributed to Augustine puts it this way: “O Lord, everything good in me is due to you. The rest is my fault.”
To the extent that I lust, am self-indulgent, and self-absorbed, like Samson, that is on me. To the extent that I love, serve, give, and fight for what is right, also like Samson, that is a gift from God and a work of his Spirit in me.
That is why we live a Romans 7 kind of life, in this tug-of-war, pulled one way by our sin and another way by the Spirit.
And that is why we rejoice with Paul: “Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!” (Rom. 7:24–25).
Thanks be to God that in our Samson-like lives, when we make a royal mess of things, the hair of our heads begins to grow again (Judg. 16:22). We are brought to repentance, and Jesus Christ our Lord is always there, his blood providing atonement for us.
Our failures are ours. Our salvation is his.

GLM-5.3-Flash is live in ZCode today 🎉
The first natively multimodal GLM-5 model: it outperforms GLM-5.2 and approaches Claude Opus 4.8 on coding and agentic tasks, at 1/10 the cost.
Why use it in ZCode:
• 3× the quota of GLM-5.3 on Coding Plan, plus an extra 1.5× only in ZCode
• Controls your browser and computer with our new Browser Use and Computer Use
To celebrate, we've reset the quota for every Coding Plan user tonight. Open ZCode, switch to GLM-5.3-Flash, and enjoy.

Ox Alpha was an early version of GLM-5.3-Flash. The official release delivers stronger performance and significantly better stability.
Huge thanks to @opencode and @OpenRouter for making it available to the community. And thank you to everyone who tried it, pushed it to its limits.
Introducing GLM-5.3-Flash
- Leading capabilities at a highly competitive price
- Natively multimodal with a 1M-token context window
- A 320B-A18B model released under the MIT License
- Previously previewed as Ox Alpha, running entirely on Chinese AI chips

Grok 4.5 goes public tomorrow. Here’s everything that’s known.
The model runs on V9, xAI’s new 1.5 trillion parameter foundation, roughly three times the size of the v8-small architecture behind Grok 4.3. It’s the largest model the company has shipped, trained on Blackwell GPUs at the Colossus cluster in Memphis.
Coding is the clear focus. Cursor’s developer data was added in supplemental training, and reinforcement learning has been improving the model daily alongside the Grok Build harness. The next foundation model already in training will have Cursor data included from the start of pre-training.
Elon calls it Opus-level, and says it’s faster, more token-efficient, and cheaper. It’s been in private beta at SpaceX and Tesla since June 28, with early internal evals reportedly at or above that mark. Public benchmarks land once the model does.
This is the first flagship under SpaceXAI since the merger, and the plan is a from-scratch foundation model shipping every month through the end of 2026.
Tomorrow we get to use it!
