Elon Musk on Wednesday unveiled a joint project between Tesla
and his artificial intelligence startup xAI, which he called "Macrohard" or "Digital Optimus" and said that it was a system capable of emulating the functions of software companies.
In a post on his social media platform X, Musk said the project pairs xAI's Grok large language model, acting as a high-level "navigator," with a Tesla-developed AI agent that processes real-time computer screen video and keyboard and mouse actions.
The launch of Anthropic's Claude Cowork, which can perform a range of computer-based tasks autonomously, has already spooked software investors who fear that agentic AI can disrupt established business models.
