The Rundown AI: Grok 5 and AGI?

XAI AND ELON MUSK🗣️ Musk: Grok 5 has ‘a shot at being true AGI’Image source: Elon Musk (@ElonMusk on X)

The Rundown: Elon Musk had a busy day of AI commentary on X, revealing new information about Grok 5, making bold claims about xAI’s ‘Imagine’ generator, and speaking on AI and declining birthrates in a series of posts and replies on the platform.

The details:Musk posted that xAI’s Grok 5 model will begin training in September, saying he believes the model “has a shot at being true AGI”.He also said Grok Imagine will be better than Google’s VEO 3 video generation model “in every respect, with no exceptions”. Musk also commented on the declining birthrate, saying AI will actually increase birth rates and will be “programmed that way”.

Why it matters: AGI is a benchmark without a very clear definition, which will make the first official declaration of it all the more interesting. With OpenAI being the other major lab dancing around the notion of its models officially reaching the bar soon, the term could end up being the topic of the next inevitable feud between Altman and Musk.
