- Musk says Grok Bot will use rival models including Claude Opus 5.5
Elon Musk said SpaceX's AI unit will no longer power Grok Bot only with in-house models, instead using "the best back end model for any given task," including Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 plus Midjourney and Suno APIs. Grok Bot is the agent app SpaceXAI launched in August for iPhone, iPad and Mac, where each Bot runs on its own computer and handles several tasks in parallel; Musk did not say which tasks go to which outside model. He also said SpaceXAI will be renamed SpaceXSI, and Anthropic became a SpaceX compute customer earlier this year.
The Information · 🔥 38 - Report: Anthropic May Seek $100B in IPO Funding
A Cyzone article, reprinted from Jiedian AI, claims Anthropic has confidentially filed an S-1 and may seek up to $100 billion at a valuation above $2 trillion after the U.S. midterm elections. It presents the reported plan alongside alleged 2025 revenue of $4.6 billion, net losses of $42 billion, and $518 billion in future compute and infrastructure commitments, while warning that the figures and valuation depend on rapid growth and high utilization.

Responding on X to a post saying Terafab would most likely be owned and operated by TSMC, Musk wrote on October 7: "No, we will build and run the fab. Let there be ZERO doubt about that." He added that TSMC might sublease part of the Terafab site "if they want, but nothing more than that." Terafab is the giant AI chip manufacturing complex Tesla and SpaceX plan to build in Texas, and Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan said the same day that Intel remains part of the project.
科技新报 · 🔥 18 - SpaceX seeks $40B financing, led by Apollo, to buy Nvidia chips
SpaceX is seeking to raise about $40 billion to buy Nvidia chips in a financing led by Apollo Global Management, the Financial Times reported, with the deal expected to close in 2027 and consist of roughly $10 billion in bank loans and $30 billion in investment-grade bonds; Pimco is among the lenders in talks. Musk said previously that SpaceX has decided to build entirely on Nvidia technology, calling the Vera Rubin architecture the best AI platform. SpaceX, Nvidia, Apollo and Pimco did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The Information · 🔥 22 - SpaceX shares rebound on AI business and Starship progress
SpaceX shares have risen nearly 60% from their low in early August, according to CNBC Technology. The rebound was attributed to the company’s AI business and progress on Starship, returning Elon Musk to trillionaire status.
CNBC Technology · 🔥 3 - Reflection AI debuts Beam, a 501B open-weight model aimed at Chinese rivals
Reflection AI, the Nvidia-backed US startup founded by ex-DeepMind researchers, unveiled Beam — its first open-weight model — a text-only mixture-of-experts system with 501B total and 23B active parameters, pretrained on 23.8T tokens with a 1M-token context window. The company says Beam matches Z.ai's GLM-5.2 on reasoning, coding and agentic benchmarks while using 3–4x less inference compute, and approaches Qwen 3.8-Max; the claims have not been independently verified. Full weights are promised this month under an Apache 2.0 license.

36氪 人工智能 · 🔥 0 - Eric Betzig Warns AlphaFold Alone Cannot Solve Drug Discovery
Nobel laureate Eric Betzig argued in a podcast interview that using AlphaFold protein structures alone for drug discovery is unlikely to succeed, because cells are dynamic, crowded, multiscale systems. He proposed combining live-cell 4D/5D imaging, self-supervised vision Transformers and zebrafish models to study drug effects from molecules to whole organs, while also criticizing academic incentives built around papers, grants and peer review.
