Full timeline

  1. SpaceXAI Confirmed

    Said Grok 4.7 works longer on hard tasks and checks its own work more carefully than earlier versions, with a fast variant that gives twice the output speed at twice the price.

  2. Elon Musk Reported

    Said in a reply on X that the cost of serving Grok Bot was unsustainably high relative to revenue. Users were reported to be running out of weekly allowances days early; no cost figure was given and the report does not say whether allowances were cut.

  3. Anthropic Reported

    Anthropic's IPO filing was reported to say it expects to pay about $3.1 billion a month once all contracted SpaceX compute is delivered, expected by the end of 2026, with either side able to cancel on 90 days' notice after early 2027.
