It's all hands on deck at SpaceX as the company plays catch-up in the AI race.Elon Musk said on Sunday that SpaceX had deployed "a few dozen" top Starlink and Starship engineers to help overhaul its Grok model."The SpaceXAI cadence of model and harness improvement is speeding up tremendously, particularly due to a few dozen of the top Starlink/Starship engineers shifting much of their time to AI," wrote Musk in a post on X.The billionaire added that engineers from Cursor, the AI coding startup that SpaceX agreed this month to buy for $60 billion, were also working on the new foundation model, which was partly trained on Cursor training data.Musk said that Grok 4.5, the latest version of the chatbot, was now in private beta at Tesla and SpaceX, and posted that SpaceX would release new models "trained from scratch" every month this year.Musk's efforts to take the lead in the AI race have faced roadblocks in the past few months.The Tesla CEO overhauled xAI, the AI startup he founded in 2023 to take on OpenAI and Google, earlier this year in a sweeping reorganization that saw the last of the company's 11 cofounders depart.
