Everything we’ve published under xAI so far.
xAI released standalone speech-to-text and text-to-speech APIs with pricing, diarization, timestamps, multilingual support, and expressive speech tags. Translation: voice is moving from flashy agent demos into reusable infrastructure.
xAI launched Grok Business and Grok Enterprise with team management, Google Drive access, citations, SSO, SCIM, and Vault controls. The question is whether enterprise buyers believe the privacy story enough to invite Grok into real work.
xAI raised $20B after targeting $15B, with NVIDIA and Cisco among strategic investors. The money story is really the compute story: Colossus, GPUs, Grok, and the brutally expensive path to staying in the frontier conversation.
xAI launched Grok Imagine API for video generation and editing, leaning hard on quality, latency, and cost. The interesting move is not another pretty clip. It is making iteration economics part of the pitch.
xAI says SpaceX acquired it. The public note is tiny, almost comically so. The strategic implication is not tiny: Grok now sits even closer to one of the weirdest hardware, network, and attention machines on the planet.
