Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk said his artificial intelligence startup, xAI, plans to release its latest model, Grok 4, on Wednesday, July 9.
Recent advances suggest the technology is hitting its stride. The UC Davis team’s speech synthesis system represents a fundamental shift from previous approaches. Rather than translating brain signals into text and then synthesizing speech — a process that created significant delays — UC Davis’ system converts thoughts directly into sounds with near-instantaneous 10-millisecond latency.

Meanwhile, researchers at Carnegie Mellon achieved real-time control of individual robotic fingers using non-invasive EEG technology, wearing a cap that reads brain signals through the skull. This suggests that future brain interfaces might not require surgery at all for certain applications.

A fireside with Elon Musk at AI Startup School in San Francisco.
Before rockets and robots, Elon Musk was drilling holes through his office floor to borrow internet. In this candid talk, he walks through the early days of Zip2, the Falcon 1 launches that nearly ended SpaceX, and the “miracle” of Tesla surviving 2008.
He shares the thinking that guided him—building from first principles, doing useful things, and the belief that we’re in the middle of an intelligence big bang.

Whether we are simply characters in an advanced virtual world is a much-debated theory, challenging previous thinking about the universe and our existence.
The possibility that the entire universe is informational in nature and resembles a computational process is a popular theory among a number of well-known figures, including Elon Musk. The thinking comes from within a branch of science known as information physics, which suggests physical reality is actually made up of structured information.
In an article published in AIP Advances and included in the journal’s “Editor’s Picks,” a physicist from the University of Portsmouth, Dr. Melvin Vopson, presents findings which indicate that gravity or gravitational force is the result of a computational process within the universe.
As companies such as Elon Musk’s Neuralink begin human trials of high-risk brain implants, a new proposal calls for a major change in how the U.S. handles injuries caused by the devices.
The article published in Science suggests a “no-fault” compensation program to help patients harmed by devices like brain-computer interfaces (BCIs)—even when no one is legally at fault.
These devices, which are implanted in the brain to treat serious conditions like epilepsy or paralysis, can offer life-changing benefits. But they also come with serious risks such as seizures, strokes or even death. And when something goes wrong, patients often have no way to get help or compensation.
Robert Zubrin quite literally wrote the book on why humanity should go to Mars—so why has the renowned aerospace engineer soured on Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur leading the charge?
In an interview, the 73-year-old founder of the Mars Society delivered a blistering critique, accusing the world’s richest person of undermining the mission through divisive politics and a bleak vision of the Red Planet as an escape from Earth rather than a journey of hope.
“On one level, he’s absolutely instrumental in opening up this opportunity to get humans to Mars, both through the development of Starship and also the inspiration that has caused,” Zubrin told AFP, referring to Musk’s prototype rocket.
The space agency relies on Elon Musk’s rockets for crucial missions to the International Space Station. Who will replace them when competitors are still playing catch up?
