On September 18th， according to media reports， Elon Musk， CEO of Tesla and SpaceX， stated on the social platform X that Grok 5， the model currently being developed by his artificial intelligence company xAI， is expected to achieve a significant breakthrough towards Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
This perspective marks a notable shift from Musk’s previous stance， as he admitted that he had not previously linked the Grok series directly to AGI.
He further revealed that the training for the Grok 5 model is anticipated to commence within the coming weeks. The Grok series， as xAI’s flagship product， has consistently garnered attention for its real-time information processing capabilities， and this upcoming iteration is being met with heightened expectations.
Industry analysis suggests that if Grok 5 successfully achieves AGI， it would signify a qualitative leap for artificial intelligence， transitioning from specialized domain applications to general cognitive abilities.
While specific technical details of Grok 5 remain undisclosed， Musk has emphasized that the model will incorporate an entirely new architectural design. Compared to existing AI systems， AGI possesses the ability to understand， learn， and apply knowledge across various domains， a capability widely regarded as the ultimate goal in AI development. The tech community is closely observing whether xAI can achieve a breakthrough in the increasingly competitive large language model landscape.
