On November 15th, the technology media released a book yesterday (14 November) reporting thatMuskThe XAI project was postponed until 2026 Grok 5 ModelsThe AI model will have 6 trillion parameters, twice the size of the current Grok 3, Grok 4。
At the Baron Capital's annual investment conference this Friday, Elon Musk did not hide any confidence in the Grok 5 model, saying, “I think that Grok 5 will be a long way ahead of other artificial intelligence on all the indicators and become the world's most intelligent artificial intelligence, which is beyond question.” The following video is attached to the IT home:
Mask has said several times before on X social media that the Grok 5 model will be launched by 2025 and confident that its performance will crush the competition GPT-5.
However, as the development process advanced, particularly shortly after the advent of Grok 4 in 2025, XAI found that the full testing and development of Grok 5 required more time to meet the expected high standards。
The media noted that xAI had delayed the release of Grok 5, in part because of resource constraints and extremely stringent testing requirements in the development process. As a key step towards universal artificial intelligence (AGI)Grok 5 is expected to have approximately 6 trillion parameters, the training and optimization of which require significant computing capacity。
Although XAI has a powerful Colossus supercomputer, complex AI model development often exceeds expectations. In addition, ensuring the safety and reliability of the model is a top priority, especially for AI, which is designed to carry out a multi-step mission of its own, requiring detailed security checks and alignment tests, which undoubtedly prolongs the development cycle。
This extension allowed OpenAI 's GPT-5 and Google ' s AI models to have more time to develop and consolidate in the market. In the highly competitive AI area, speed of dissemination is often one of the key factors。
this strategic “suspension” of xAI may be designed to ensure that Grok 5 can bring subversive innovation to the end, thereby redefining competitive advantage. However, market analysts also pointed out that XAI, which spends as much as $1 billion a month, may face pressure from investors and partners to prove its technical feasibility and commercial value as a result of delays in its issuance。
