Elon Musk says Grok 4.8 has finished pre-training on a rebuilt C and C++ stack and will get a soft rollout to Grok Bot users this week. SpaceX vice president of launch Kiko Dontchev calls SpaceX fundamentally an infrastructure company and says Grok beats human inspectors at spotting debris, while Tesla's Robotaxi account says a bigger Austin service area is live. Plus Flight 15 prep, launch schedule changes, the Starbase gas plant and supercompute tax abatement notice, Project Crystal Sun, Cybertruck trims and Nvidia's GR00T 2.
