Musk's xAI to enable chatbot Grok for all premium subscribers of X
Quick Glance: New Availability of Grok AI Announced for X Premium Subscribers
  • Elon Musk has officially announced that Grok, the AI chatbot from Musk's xAI, is now accessible to all X Premium users. Previously, Grok was exclusively available to X Premium+ subscribers.

  • In March of this year, xAI took a significant step by releasing Grok as an open-source project. This move enables developers and researchers to leverage the powerful 'weights and architecture' behind xAI's Grok chatbot for their projects at no cost.

  • The release of Grok is under the Apache 2.0 license, allowing commercial use. Reports indicate that Grok is now available on GitHub, allowing anyone to freely experiment with the 'raw' basic version of the pre-trained Grok big language models.

  • Grok, the 'conversational AI for understanding the universe,' was first introduced to the public at the end of 2023. The Grok chatbot can access real-time X data, which sets it apart from competitors, aiming to establish itself as a more modern and edgy alternative to other chatbots.

  • Sam Bankman-Fried received a 25-year prison sentence. Key details from the court hearing in New York were summarized, focusing on his defense lawyer's arguments and the judge's ruling.

  • The judge criticized SBF's lack of remorse, noting that he had never expressed a word of regret for committing terrible crimes. Customers who lost money in the collapse reported experiencing nightmares.

  • SBF admitted to making a series of poor decisions but claimed that customers could be reimbursed. The judge pointed out that the assertion that customers would be fully repaid through the bankruptcy process was misleading.

  • The court hearing also included testimonies from customers who lost significant amounts of money, insights into SBF's background, and the reasons behind the collapse of his company FTX.

Quick Glance: Appeals Court Decision Reduces Trump's Bond in Fraud Case
  • In the New York civil fraud case, it was determined that Donald Trump and his co-defendants now have 10 days to post a $175 million bond, compared to the original $464 million.

  • The late ruling from a panel of state Appellate Division judges, all appointed by Democratic governors, represents a significant victory and relief for the former president.

  • Trump's legal team had previously stated that obtaining the larger bond was practically impossible. The court's decision also temporarily prevents the New York Attorney General's office from enforcing the judgment.

  • Additionally, the court imposed a stay on the part of the initial judgment that restricted Trump from acting as a public officer of a company, as well as prohibitions on other individuals, although not all of Trump's requests were granted.
