'More striking is how fast AI took the lead. Just eighteen months ago, the best AI models fell short of the average accountant’s ~37% score. Today, models ace those same tasks.' 'These results are provocative. So much so that we considered not publishing them for fear of misinterpretation. But we think transparency about the findings matters as people and institutions prepare for rapidly advancing AI.'

Damn，马斯克又掌权了，但这次不是管政府效率，而是直接定义未来战争，老马前脚刚从 DOGE 抽身，后脚就被五角大楼直接推到了未来战争的决策台，我估计是俄乌战场上的廉价无人机，彻底把造航母坦克的传统军工打醒了。 视频里马斯克和科技新贵 Luckey 起立接受美军全场鼓掌，背后是五角大楼的一声叹息，将军们已经跟不上现代科技咯。 在刚刚结束的“部队国情咨文”现场，美国战争部长 Pete Hegseth 正式宣布：马斯克将联手 Anduril 创始人 Palmer Luckey、前众议长 Newt Gingrich，共同领导“子午线计划”（Project Meridian）。 现场 17 秒视频里，马斯克和花衬衫的 Luckey 起立接受全场鼓掌，估计 99% 的人以为这又是一场名流作秀，但咱们把背后的动作全拼起来，你会发现这是五角大楼近五十年最激进的一次“军事认知大换脑”。 今天把视频里没明说的硬核信息一次拆透👇 先说结论： 五角大楼公开承认了一个事实： 靠传统的将军会议和军工采购，已经跟不上现在的战争形态了。 他们直接把“未来战争长什么样”的定义权，打包外包给了硅谷极客。 这不是发一份新合同，也不是成立一支新部队，而是一场 120 天的闪电行动： 要求三个人在 2027 年 1 月底前，交出一份公开报告和一份机密附件，直接给美军画出未来几十年的军备采购地图。 为什么五角大楼突然急成这样？看看传统体系有多慢就知道了： ▫️俄乌战场已经把廉价无人机、算法自组网、消耗战打成了新常态 ▫️洛克希德、雷神等传统军工巨头，换个零件报价几万美元，一份规划报告能写三年 ▫️等你造好一艘航母，战场上的软件和无人蜂群已经迭代了十代 三个最值钱的维度展开聊聊👇 ① 人选组合极其狠辣：工程量产 + 杀手系统 + 政治翻译器 三个人不是随便挑的，分工精准到骨子里： ▫️马斯克（SpaceX / Tesla）：负责“能不能造出来、能不能上太空、能不能低成本天量量产”（星链、运载、AI、人形机器人） ▫️Palmer Luckey（Anduril 创始人）：负责“能不能立刻做成可部署的致命杀伤系统”（自主无人机、巡飞弹、战场传感器） ▫️Newt Gingrich（政坛老炮）：负责把科技极客的狂想，翻译成国会能看懂、预算能通过的“国家使命”政治语言 喵的这根本不是学术研讨会啊，简直就是一个“战争产品化委员会”。 ② 战场维度的降维扩张：“从地下深处，到月球轨道” 官方明确把研究范围定为：从地下设施一直延伸到地月空间（Cislunar）。 重点锁死五大方向：AI、自主系统、定向能武器、机器人、生物技术。 本质上是战争逻辑变了： 下一场冲突不一定从前线开打，很可能先从海底光缆、地下指挥所、低轨星链和月球轨道爆发， 也就是说谁先定义了“新战场”，谁就能在接下来十年直接垄断军费预算。 ③ 软硬一体的组合拳：一边画蓝图，一边建“机器人司令部” 就在宣布子午线计划的同时，军方还宣布新建四星级的“自主战争司令部”（AUTOWARCOM）。 卧槽这是一套绝妙的闭环啊： ▫️Project Meridian 负责告诉军队“未来要买什么” ▫️自主战争司令部 负责“把无人机和机器人战争正式编进部队编制并负责买单” 美军正在从“造航母、造战机的平台军”，彻底转向“拼算法、拼传感器、拼杀伤链的软件军”。 但整件事最硬核的争议，在于它的利益结构： 这等于让供应商自己写五角大楼的采购清单。 马斯克手里有 SpaceX 和星链，Luckey 手里有 Anduril 自主武器，两人本身就是五角大楼核心订单的争夺者。 支持者会说：只有真正造出星链和自主无人机的人，才懂未来仗怎么打； 反对者会说：这完全是既当裁判又当运动员，把国家战略写成了自家公司的产品路线图。 当然咱们照例泼三盆冷水： 第一，120 天是政治速度，解决不了真正的硬骨头 120 天足够画出一张技术愿望清单，但根本解决不了供应链断裂、军队编制阻力、交战伦理规则以及盟友协同等深层死结。 第二，马斯克完成了危险的角色切换 上一轮做 DOGE 是砍预算得罪官僚，这一轮做 Meridian 是给军方画新大饼、分新蛋糕。 虽然政治上阻力更小，但也意味着他被前所未有地深绑进了美国最高国家安全机器，“局外科技极客”的保护色彻底褪去。 第三，传统军工利益集团不会坐以待毙 洛克希德·马丁、雷神等老牌巨头拥有极深的国会游说网络，一份外包报告能不能跨过国会预算这道坎，仍是巨大未知数。 最后给大家小结收个尾： 别只把这段视频当成“马斯克站起来领掌”的八卦。 五角大楼已经公开把未来战争的画笔交给了硅谷极客。 真正决定未来十几年几千亿美元军费流向的，就是 120 天后那份报告里被定为“必须主导”的几行字。 你看好硅谷极客重构军事体系，还是觉得这只是一场政治秀呢？欢迎评论区聊聊👇

GROK BOT JUST FOUND $986 IN MY EMAIL 🤯 I asked Grok to get a parking spot for the car it bought me, and on the way it discovered nearly a thousand dollars of extraneous charges from my apartment and emailed them asking for a refund.

Grok Bot for Enterprise is available today. It’s free for all Grok and Cursor enterprise customers for the next two weeks. https://x.ai/news/grok-bot-for-enterprise

wrote down some of the design thinking behind Grok Bot. persistent roles, clear state, scoped context, coordinated teams — an interface designed to move you from operating AI to delegating work. https://x.ai/news/designing-grok-bot

Grok @Bot has made a few simple yet powerful technical decisions that I believe make it easy and enjoyable to use. 1. The best UI is none at all. The product interface is dramatically simpler than alternatives without sacrificing functionality. How is this possible? It's one of the first products designed for current frontier model capabilities and has a UI restrained enough to remain easy to use as models improve exponentially. Everyone knows how to text. 2. A thin harness for the client, a thick harness for the server. You might have noticed the app feels very fluid to use, even for a beta product. This is primarily because of everything we didn't have to build. The app harness is essentially a single tool to send messages between the client and server. The complexity moves to the server, where you can still use the coding agent harness with specialized tools as needed. This helps make the UI fast and responsive on desktop and mobile. 3. An always-on computer. Most coding agents and assistants today start fresh with every question you ask. Some of these sessions are on your local machine and others happen in the cloud. We believe strongly that cloud is the future, which is why it's the only option. Further, rather than spinning up virtual machines for every conversation, your bots connect to their own computer. This means you can still run agents on the bot's persistent filesystem. It's closer to what programmers have been doing by using Tailscale from their phones to connect to a remote computer and run an agent TUI. You get those capabilities without the hassle. 4. Your bots can use the browser. Coding agents have shown that most work on a computer can be expressed and run as code. You can ask for a task in natural language and the agent will decide to write a script to complete it. This is amazing, but there's still many tasks which can't be completed without logging into a website and clicking around the browser. Models and harnesses are now good enough to reliably handle this. The combination of writing code and using browsers means you can automate almost any task on a computer. Further, you can ask Grok Bot to record you doing the task, and then turn it into something repeatable.
