He believes this will lay the groundwork for space-based AI, predicting that while AI training will remain on Earth, inference will eventually extend into space.
Regarding model iterations, Musk announced that Grok 4.6 is about a week away from release, with version 4.7 expected to be particularly special. He also encouraged SpaceX employees to actively use AI in their daily workflows to help improve the models.
