- X's new block update began yesterday. If your posts are set to public, accounts you have blocked can now see your post, but cannot engage with them or you. The rest remains the same. I guess this means blocked accounts no longer need burner accounts to see your stuff.

- X is working to upgrade the ui for broadcasts.

They are outside the Gigafactory of Compute. Per Brent, "Was so fun filming our little baby Grok cluster here in Memphis! Huge shoutout to Patrick Kennedy and his team for professionalism. They are the gold standard." They appear to be standing on a section of cooling pipe for the cluster.

- The New York Post is reporting that Nvidia is in talks with Elon about a potential investment in xAI. Source not named and neither company has confirmed this.

- Starting today, xAI is giving developers ability to build on their Grok foundation models using the newly released API. They will run a public beta program until the end of 2024 during which everyone will get $25 of free API credits per month. Go to console .x .ai and sign up to create an account. You get a preview of a new Grok model that is currently in the final stages of development. Anyone who has purchased prepaid credits so far will get the equivalent amount of free monthly credits for every month until the end of the year. If you purchased $50 of prepaid credits already, you will now have $25 + $50 of additional free credits in November and December.
