One signal

Elon Musk says xAI’s Grok 5 will be the company’s first model to achieve artificial general intelligence, according to Blockonomi. The prediction arrives while Grok 4.8 is reportedly finishing its initial training and preparing for reinforcement learning.

Why it matters

That makes the roadmap legible, but not the destination: no independent benchmark has shown human-equivalent performance across the full range of tasks implied by AGI. For now, this is a bold forecast to watch, not a capability result.

Discuss: What evidence would convince you that Grok 5 had achieved AGI rather than simply improved on existing benchmarks?
