xAI CEO says Grok 5 has chances of achieving AGI
Elon Musk, CEO of xAI, said that his company has a chance of achieving AGI with the upcoming Grok 5 AI model, which will start training in a few weeks.
Musk’s comment spotlights his skepticism influenced by Grok’s success on the ARC-AGI leaderboard, where it outperformed models like GPT 4.5 and Claude 3.7 with a score well over 90% at a $5/task cost, as per ARC Prize data.
The AI team is continuously seeking new improvements to the AI model, bringing new features for users and making the use of current computing power. On the other hand, the AI company is also preparing for the next major upgrade with Colossus 2, its new supercomputer cluster expansion with more than 550,000 GPUs.
Musk’s comment comes on the backdrop of $10 billion funding, including $2 billion from SpaceX, in July 2025, along with an acquisition of Hotshot for multimodal AI. These development suggests a new strategic change and a way forward toward advanced video and visual data processing.
AGI, or Artificial General Intelligence, refers to an advanced form of AI that can understand, learn, and perform any intellectual task that a human being can perform.
However, the pursuit of AGI has become widespread across the AI industry, with companies racing to achieve this milestone. CEOs from leading firms, including OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Google DeepMind’s Demis Hassabis, and Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, have predicted AGI could arrive within the next 5 years, fueling urgency.
