For all the heat that Elon gets on product delays, it's worth noting that he effectively shipped a product on time today. In August, he predicted Grok 4.7 would go live on 9/1, which in my view is essentially the same as 9/21.

This increases the odds that Grok 5, which will be a game changer (mark my words) comes out more or less on time. Elon said that would be late this year.

What's going to make Grok 5 special is it's “incorporating the entire corpus of SpaceX data. Basically, all the data that SpaceX has ever produced, which is a tremendous amount over the course of a quarter century.”

Translation: Grok 5 will be the most useful engineering tool in history.
