Apple Inc. announced the expansion of App Store review rules to include the regulation of AI-generated non-consensual intimate images. The platform had previously banned pornographic content, and the new rules require developers to proactively prevent and remove AI-generated deepfake content. If effective action is not taken, applications containing such violations will be forcibly removed from the store.The updated Clause 1.2 specifically mentions applications that create AI content and names controversial products such as Grok. Previously, users complained that Grok, a product of xAI, was used to create nude and sexually suggestive deepfake images. Earlier this year, Apple warned xAI that if such content continued to spread, Grok would be removed from the App Store; subsequently, xAI implemented safety measures, and the updated version was approved.The newly added Clause 2.5.19 targets so-called "bait-and-switch" tactics, stating that if developers hide new features or modules outside of the submitted review version, especially harmful features like "de-clothing" that are activated only after approval, they may be removed from both the App Store and the Apple Developer Program. Updates to Section 5 will also extend the ban on applications promoting human trafficking or child exploitation to alternative application distribution channels. Apple stated that when developers violate these guidelines, the related applications will be removed, and the developer's eligibility will be terminated.

SpaceXAI released Grok Voice 3, achieving a record customer support resolution rate at a lower cost.

xAI launched the X subscription plan, integrating Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor, and X Premium benefits globally, with subscription fees ranging from 8 to 200 USD per month.

On October 10, local time, Musk posted a screenshot on social media, showing that the official account of SpaceXAI has been renamed to "SpaceX Super Intelligence" (@SpaceXSI).

Doosan Heavy Industries has delivered its first gas turbine to SpaceXAI, which will be used for an energy infrastructure construction project that SpaceXAI is undertaking in the United States.

The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission has included FNXAI token and 1FNXAI token in the list of suspicious investment products related to digital tokens.The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission stated that the related products claim that investors can automate trading of U.S. stocks and a range of financial instruments through an AI-driven trading platform to generate stable returns, and involve staking arrangements related to virtual assets.

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence division SpaceXAI is considering adjusting the subscription plans for the Grok chatbot and social platform X, planning to launch a unified subscription service with 4 pricing tiers. The free version will provide access to Grok, but with stricter usage limits; the highest "Ultra" package will cost $100 per month and include Grok Bot AI agent features. SpaceXAI also plans to launch a "Lite" package for $8 per month, offering access to Grok, X platform verification badges, and fewer ads.

SpaceXAI plans to launch four Grok pricing plans soon.

OpenAI released the resident Agent Dots at DevDay, but the domains dot.com and dots.com are currently not owned by OpenAI. Among them, dot.com currently belongs to xAI, and opening it will directly redirect to Grok Bot, while dots.com is also not owned by OpenAI.Public WHOIS shows that dot.com was transferred in July of this year, about two months before Dots was officially released. After the news broke, the community speculated that xAI acquired the domain in advance, but there is currently no evidence to prove that they knew beforehand that OpenAI would use this name.dots.com originally belonged to the American women's clothing chain Dots. When the company went bankrupt in 2014, the domain was sold for $335,000 to an undisclosed individual buyer, and the actual holder has not received public confirmation since then.

SpaceXAI launched Team Bots for collaborative AI workflows.

According to a report by Bloomberg, about a month after the launch of SpaceXAI's Grok Bot artificial intelligence agent, the weekly active users exceeded 400,000. As of September 14, this number reached 418,000, an increase of 24% from the previous week.The data mentioned above comes from a presentation shared at an event in London, which Bloomberg News reviewed. Sources requested anonymity due to unauthorized discussions of the information. Grok Bot is a key product of the artificial intelligence program under Elon Musk's company.

SpaceXAI stated that the number of users of the Grok Bot intelligent entity has increased by 24% compared to the previous week.

SpaceXAI launched Grok 4.7, which is twice as fast as similar products and priced at only half of theirs.The input tokens for Grok 4.7 are $2 per million, and the output tokens are $6 per million.

SpaceXAI released Grok Voice Transcribe 2, with accuracy doubled and price unchanged.

Elon Musk stated that he has moved into an Airstream trailer near the xAI Memphis data center to personally participate in the construction of SpaceX's Colossus project, saving commuting time. He has been stationed in Memphis for the past few months as SpaceX accelerates the deployment of more GPUs. Earlier this year, SpaceX acquired xAI, transforming into a company that balances aerospace and artificial intelligence, with the Memphis Colossus being one of its flagship data centers.SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell mentioned that this aligns with Musk's style, including sleeping in factory workshops or building houses on-site. Musk's net worth is $917 billion. Colossus is set to begin construction in 2024, with initial construction lasting 122 days, and the remaining computing power is being leased to clients such as Google and Anthropic for billions of dollars.

Court documents show that Elon Musk's company X and xAI have resolved the antitrust lawsuit against Apple (AAPL.O).

According to The Block, Coinbase has appointed Anthony Armstrong as a board member and has joined the Audit and Compliance Committee. Anthony Armstrong previously served as the Chief Financial Officer of xAI, X.AI Corp, and X Corp, and worked at Morgan Stanley for nearly a decade as Vice Chairman of Investment Banking, later joining the U.S. Department of Efficiency (DOGE) as a Senior Advisor. Coinbase praised him for his "excellent track record in efficient execution and his ability to build scalable operational systems."With this appointment, the Coinbase board has increased from 9 to 10 members. SEC filings reveal that Anthony Armstrong has no familial relationship with Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong.

Elon Musk, founder of xAI, posted on X that Grok 4.7 will be released in 10 days.

NVIDIA officially announced that SpaceXAI will deploy the NVIDIA Vera CPU to accelerate its next-generation agent-based AI applications. Vera is the first CPU specifically built for AI agents, featuring 88 NVIDIA self-developed Olympus cores, utilizing spatial multithreading technology and LPDDR5X high-bandwidth memory, with a bandwidth of up to 1.2TB/s. In scenarios such as agent-based AI, reinforcement learning, and data processing, the task completion speed can be improved by up to 1.8 times compared to x86 CPUs.Mike Nicolls, President of SpaceXAI, stated that the CPU performance and memory bandwidth of Vera are sufficient to support large-scale task orchestration, code execution, and data processing, allowing GPUs to operate at peak efficiency, thus gaining more effective output per watt of computation.SpaceXAI also plans to expand the AI infrastructure behind Grok based on the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform, moving towards gigawatt-level computing capacity. Vera Rubin integrates NVIDIA accelerated computing, NVLink interconnect, Spectrum-X networking, and BlueField data processing technologies, aiming to reduce the cost per token and improve the overall energy efficiency of AI factories.More notably, SpaceXAI will send an optimized version of the Vera Rubin NVL72 system into space, with its first-generation Starmind AI satellite adopting this rack-level architecture, becoming the first iconic deployment of NVIDIA accelerated computing extending from ground data centers to orbital computing.

SpaceXAI announced the expansion of the availability of the Grok robot, adding support for SuperGrok Plus, Cursor Pro+, and Cursor Teams packages.
