Elon Musk is in a hurry. He responded to everything in a live stream. The new lineup of xAI was exposed for the first time, with only one Chinese co-founder remaining.

Elon Musk finally couldn't hold it back! Half of the co-founders have left, and it has been making a huge stir across the internet. Today (February 12th), he urgently convened an all-staff meeting to officially announce the brand - new lineup after the merger. Even more incredibly, he outlined an ultimate blueprint: building an AI factory on the moon in the future.

In just 24 hours, Musk's xAI has experienced a magnitude - 9 earthquake!

Two Chinese co - founders have successively "abandoned the ship", and a large number of xAI employees have also officially announced their departures, which has shocked the whole internet.

Is xAI doomed? What exactly has happened to xAI?

For a moment, all kinds of negative controversies on social media have been raging.

Seeing that things were going wrong, Musk immediately held a press conference with only one purpose: to tell the outside world that "we are doing well" and that there are even bigger plans in the works.

In this 45 - minute live broadcast, Musk led the team onto the stage and officially announced for the first time the latest "organizational structure" within xAI.

Among them, there are four core sectors: Grok main model & voice model, Coding, Imagine, and Macrohard.

Even more exciting is that he officially confirmed the direction of the in - depth cooperation between SpaceX and xAI - exploring the universe must involve AI.

Moreover, Musk also plans to build a lunar base for supercomputing, and the project is named "MoonBase Alpha".

What he has repeatedly emphasized, "understanding the universe", is turning from a slogan into an engineering roadmap. SpaceX sends humans into space, and xAI enables humans to live better beyond the Earth.

Only by combining these two main lines can we achieve the real Master Plan.

Half of the co - founders "abandoned the ship"

Musk reorganized the team

As everyone knows, this major reshuffle of the top management took place after the merger of SpaceX and xAI.

Nearly half of the 12 co - founders have left.

Musk responded urgently, saying that xAI has completed an internal restructuring. Parting ways with some people is inevitable, and all he can do is wish them well.

At the all - staff meeting, Musk started by "recalling the past", looking back on the exciting journey from the start - up to the present.

He said that xAI, which has been established for two and a half years, is achieving leap - forward evolution at an accelerating pace, and its explosive power has shocked the entire industry.

In a very short period of time, xAI has overtaken its larger competitors with 10 - or 20 - year accumulations.

This is mainly reflected in the following three major aspects:

Peak of multimodality: The technologies of voice, image, and video generation have all reached the top - level in the industry;

Economies of scale: The latest data shows that the number of images and videos generated by xAI has exceeded the sum of all its competitors;

Intelligent core: In terms of prediction ability, Grok 4.2 has successfully defeated all other AIs and dominated various rankings.

In addition, the most eye - catching Grokopedia is also evolving at a high speed. Its ultimate goal is to become the "Encyclopedia of the Galaxy".

Musk once again emphasized that the efficiency of xAI in infrastructure is a miracle. Currently, there is a supercomputing scale of about 1 million H100 GPUs.

Next, let's get to the main topic - "the team".

Let's take a look at who is in charge of each project branch of the reorganized xAI?

All hands on deck for the four core sectors

In order to achieve more precise breakthroughs, xAI has been internally divided into four key directions.

Team 1: Grok general + voice model

Currently, the two teams of the Grok main model and voice have officially merged, led by Aman, with Tyler and Jake H. as members.

In just one year, xAI has achieved a leap from zero to leadership. Grok has been integrated into more than 2 million Teslas and has a powerful voice API.

The team's goal is to build Grok into an "all - purpose App". Whether it's handling legal consultations, creating presentations, or solving complex logical puzzles, it will become the most trusted entry point for users.

Team 2: Coding

The second - largest team, Coding, will be led by Makro and jointly developed with Guodong (Zhang Guodong).

Musk said that current programming is on the verge of a "singularity". Grok can understand instructions and debug like an experienced engineer.

Moreover, internally, xAI is using "AI recursive self - improvement", that is, the current Grok trains the next - generation more powerful Grok.

In the future, AI may even directly generate binary files, skipping the traditional compilation step.

Team 3: Imagine image and video generation

This team will be led by Guodong (Zhang Guodong), with Haotian and Chaitu as members.

In the past six months, the Imagine team has developed from scratch and has been accelerating its R & D, achieving amazing results.

Currently, the number of videos generated per day is close to 50 million, supporting a maximum single - generation time of 10 seconds.

The team's goal is to achieve single - generation of 10 - 20 - minute long videos by the end of the year, realizing "real - time" video rendering and enabling everyone to interact.

Team 4: Macrohard

Macrohard will be led by Toby, and John M. will join to complete this ambitious project.

It aims to build a "digital human simulator" that allows AI to perform all operations that humans can do on the computer, such as complex engineering design and medical analysis.

Next, here are the five infrastructure layers, from top to bottom:

· API and core product infrastructure

· Expert mentors & Grokipedia

· Machine learning and data infrastructure

· Computing and network infrastructure

· Physical infrastructure

It is worth mentioning that the expert mentors & Grokipedia are actually led by Diego Pasini, a student who graduated from high school in 2023 and won the xAI hackathon the following year.

It can be seen that each product line is very small in scale, with an average of about 2 - 3 people, making it an extremely streamlined R & D team.

The world's largest supercomputing behemoth is ready

On - site, Musk also brought a wonderful demonstration of the supercomputer, with a live video connection to the team of the Colossus supercomputer in Memphis.

It can be said that xAI is building a "computing power heart" that can shock the world, and its scale is still expanding at an amazing speed.

The success of any AI company fundamentally lies in its computing power advantage. And xAI can deploy more AI computing power at a faster speed than anyone else.

In fact, Jensen Huang, the CEO of NVIDIA, has said in many interviews that in terms of the speed of AI computing power deployment, no one is faster than xAI.

This is the first stage - 330,000 Grace Blackwell units, with "MacroHard" written on the roof.

This is not a Photoshopped image. It's really on the roof. The next building you'll see is called Macro Hotter, with a rocket logo on the roof.

That's another 220,000 GB300 units. All this computing power will be used to train Grok.

The programming "singularity" is coming, and Grok is self - evolving

Although the team restructuring is the core of the event, in the field of Grok coding, xAI is witnessing a revolutionary change.

Just like Claude Code and Codex, Grok is also iterating itself.

On - site, co - founder Guodong Zhang (Zhang Guodong) candidly said, "At least in terms of programming, I can already feel AGI."

He told the kernel and compiler engineers to seriously consider whether it is still worth continuing their current work, or whether it is time to join this revolution and let themselves be automated.

"It's really emotional to live in this era."

Musk even directly said that by the end of 2026, programming may disappear.

Currently, software works in the following way: code → compiler → binary → run.

But he believes that AI will completely skip the coding step. In the future, just describe what you want → AI directly generates optimized binary files → run.

No programming language, no compilation, just results.

He also said that Grok Code may reach the top
