A leadership shakeup is brewing within xAI's data annotation team. At least nine high-level employees appear to no longer be with the team. Their Slack accounts were deactivated over the weekend, according to screenshots seen by Business Insider. The employees worked on the human data management team, which oversees the AI tutors who train Grok. Previously, the managerial ranks included around a dozen people, according to a review of LinkedIn profiles and workers with knowledge of the team.

Grok 4's launch has set a bold benchmark in AI, showcasing its capabilities by integrating native tool usage, real-time search, and multimodal functionalities.

Musk stated on X, "Many strong Meta engineers have and are joining xAI and without the need for insane initial comp, still great, but not unsustainably high."

Grok's latest update mandates that its responses are based on independent analysis rather than the beliefs of Elon Musk or past versions of Grok.

Elon Musk is increasingly integrating AI into his businesses, with Tesla shareholders considering an investment in xAI and chatbot Grok set for integration into Tesla quickly.

xAI has launched a new division called 'Grok with Government' and signed a contract worth up to $200 million with the Department of Defense.
