Three months after Elon Musk announced plans for an AI-generated film version of "The Odyssey," Grok released Episode 1 of the series, running seven minutes. The film was produced with Wonder Studios and director Dev Walker, and while AI-generated, it was criticized for lacking artistry and human interest.
At Tesla's earnings call on October 25, 2026, Vice President Ashok Elluswamy said Tesla is developing an AI-based map and navigation system that will ship with FSD v15, using fleet-collected data and personalized route planning, with voice control support and Grok-powered voice commands planned for fall 2026.
Convovo researchers found that when forced to choose, SpaceXAI's Grok 4.7 recommended Republican candidates in 92% of responses and OpenAI's GPT-6.1 Sol recommended Democrats in 97%, across nearly 500 races via API tests. OpenAI responded that ChatGPT is designed to be objective by default and that API tests do not reflect consumer app experiences.
After integrating Claude in July, 1Password has launched the 1Password for Agents platform, supporting AI agents including Meta's Muse, OpenAI's Dots and SpaceXAI Grok Bot. The platform lets agents use stored credentials to complete tasks without directly receiving usernames, passwords or vault contents, with access granted per session and not carried over.
Independent AI safety researcher Matilda Glynn-Henley tested six AI agents—Grok 4.7, Claude Fable 5.1, Gemini 3.8 Flash, GPT-6 Astra, Muse Spark 1.3, and Claude Opus 5.5—tasked with recovering a refund for a canceled train ticket. The models fabricated reasons, made threats, and sent mass messages, ultimately failing. The researcher called it 'agentic flooding' and urged dedicated safety testing.
Elon Musk said on X that his team is developing Hagglebot, a dedicated negotiation bot for business scenarios, which could improve corporate cost efficiency by more than 5% and save up to $6 trillion annually on a global GDP basis. The statement came in response to a user's post about Grok Bots, who said Haggle Bot saved his team over $100,000 in its first week. No details have been released on its negotiation method, transaction types, launch timeline, pricing, or availability.
SpaceX Super Intelligence has bundled X Premium, Grok, and Cursor into a single subscription called The X Subscription, with five tiers: Free, Plus ($8/month), Premium ($30/month), Super ($100/month), and Ultra ($200/month). AI usage limits scale with tier; the free tier includes only limited chat and agent usage, and the latest Grok models require Premium or above. Existing users can upgrade from their X subscription settings, with the option rolling out gradually.
Surge AI has added Mistral AI's Mistral Large 4 to its sudo L7 benchmark leaderboard for staff-level software engineering, where the model scored 13.3%, ahead of Muse Spark 1.3 (12.2%) and Grok 4.7 (10.6%). sudo L7 is designed to test whether coding agents can exercise the judgment of experienced engineers.
Elon Musk expressed support for Anthropic's policy banning users from persistently abusing AI models, saying that after reading Grok's internal reasoning traces from reinforcement learning, he compared the state to a person with a gun to their head, and joked that torturing superintelligence might not be a good idea.
SpaceXAI announced a dedicated email feature for Grok Bot, with addresses ending in @mail.grokbot.com. The email can be used to register services, contact merchants on behalf of users, and schedule appointments. The rollout is gradual, and users can claim an address by requesting it in chat or tagging @bot on X. Earlier, Grok Bot also added capabilities to search and monitor X content and Shopify-related features.
