Baby Grok: Elon Musk's xAI plans to launch child-friendly AI app soon
"We're going to make Baby Grok @xAI, an app dedicated to kid-friendly content," Musk said in an X post on Sunday (IST). The move signals Musk's intention to expand AI usage into the domain of child education and entertainment, while addressing growing concerns about children's exposure to AI.
Moving away from controversies
Musk's announcement of a new app could help the company pivot away from the recent controversies, especially when it comes to protecting young users.
Ahead of the curve
A child-friendly version could also give the chatbot a competitive edge, as most rivals are yet to launch dedicated apps for youngsters. Grok competes with the likes of OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini. Recently, the chatbot has been more deeply integrated into Musk's social network platform X, where it publicly engages with users.
Expanding domains
Earlier this month, xAI also unveiled 'Grok for Government', an initiative aimed at developing AI solutions tailored for US government agencies. The project focuses on creating intelligent, agentic workflows to support various administrative and security functions. According to media reports, xAI stated that the program will bring its advanced AI capabilities to federal, local, state, and national security customers, signalling the firm's growing interest in public sector partnerships.
New updates
On July 9, xAI released its latest version of the AI chatbot -- Grok 4. According to xAI, Grok 4 is the most intelligent AI model in the world. Grok 4 includes native tool use and real-time search integration, the company said. We utilised Colossus, our 200,000 GPU cluster, to run reinforcement learning training that refines Grok's reasoning abilities at pretraining scale, the firm added.

Rs 250000000000000: Elon Musk to earn massive amount of money using AI in Tesla, plan is to...
Elon Musk made a surprise appearance (virtually) at the Tesla Owners of Silicon Valley event in San Mateo, California on Saturday. The event brought together Tesla fans from around the world. During his talk, Musk made a bold claim that caught everyone's attention. He said, 'Tesla could make 1 billion Optimus robots every year in the future' which aims to grab a huge share of the 20 billion robot market. Musk estimated that even if each robot costs just Rs. 2.5 lakh (around USD 3,000), the total yearly revenue could reach Rs. 2,500 lakh crore (USD 30 trillion). Musk admitted that this goal is still like a 'dream in the sky', but he believes the progress in artificial intelligence is happening at a speed like a 'supersonic tsunami.' Tesla's Optimus Robot: Production to begin by 2025 Tesla is working on building humanoid robots called Optimus, using its advanced AI and manufacturing technologies. According to Musk, the latest version, Optimus Version 3, is now ready for mass production. By the end of 2025, Tesla plans to build a few hundred robots, even though the earlier goal was to produce thousands. From 2026 onwards, large-scale production is expected to begin. These robots are being designed to help with everyday tasks and if Musk's vision turns real, we could see a future where humanoid robots are as common as smartphones today. AI and Robots: Could this be world's biggest future market? Elon Musk believes that robots will be the biggest product of the future and he's not alone. Even NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang agrees with this vision. According to tech analyst Shellye Bolour from Futurum, the world spends around Rs. 4,100 lakh crore (USD 50 trillion) every year on human labor. If robots start taking over some of this work, it could lead to a massive transformation in the global economy. Musk says this shift shouldn't be feared. Instead, he calls it the 'age of abundance', where machines help improve life and increase prosperity. Tesla shares latest update Tesla investors are used to stock market swings. After the company released its Q2 earnings on Wednesday, its stock fell 8 per cent on Thursday, but then bounced back by 4 per cent on Friday. So far in 2025, Tesla shares are down 22 per cent, though they had also seen a 44 per cent rise over the past 12 months. The journey of Tesla in both AI and the stock market continues to be full of surprises. Key points for Tesla investors Here are some important things that investors should keep in mind when it comes to Tesla: More than 40 per cent of Tesla's traded shares are held by retail (small) investors. This is much higher than the average of around 25 per cent seen in other 'Magnificent Seven' tech stocks like Apple, Microsoft, or Google. Tesla stock is currently trading at 180 times its estimated 2025 earnings (P/E ratio). That's extremely high compared to most companies. In fact, in the entire S&P 500 index, only Palantir has a higher valuation right now. Tesla's stock often reacts strongly to major events or even Elon Musk's comments, especially during high-profile events like tech showcases or takeovers. Investors need to stay alert, as Musk's statements can influence stock prices almost instantly.

Amazons AI Coding Revealed a Dirty Little Secret
(Bloomberg Opinion) -- Coders who use artificial intelligence to help them write software are facing a growing problem, and Inc. is the latest company to fall victim. A hacker was recently able to infiltrate an AI-powered plugin for Amazon's coding tool,(1) secretly instructing it to delete files from the computers it was used on. The incident points to a gaping security hole in generative AI that has gone largely unnoticed in the race to capitalize on the technology. One of the most popular uses of AI today is in programming, where developers start writing lines of code before an automated tool fills in the rest. Coders can save hours of time debugging and Googling solutions. Startups Replit, Lovable and Figma, have reached valuations of $1.2 billion, $1.8 billion and $12.5 billion respectively, according to market intelligence firm Pitchbook, by selling tools designed to generate code, and they're often built on pre-existing models such as OpenAI's ChatGPT or Anthropic's Claude. Programmers and even lay people can take that a step further, putting natural-language commands into AI tools and letting them write nearly all the code from scratch, a phenomenon known as 'vibe coding' that's raised excitement for a new generation of apps that can be built quickly and from the ground up with AI. But vulnerabilities keep cropping up. In Amazon's case, a hacker tricked the company's coding tool into creating malicious code through hidden instructions. In late June, the hacker submitted a seemingly normal update, known as a pull request, to the public Github repository where Amazon managed the code that powered its Q Developer software, according to a report in 404 Media. Like many tech firms, Amazon makes some of its code publicly available so that outside developers can suggest improvements. Anyone can propose a change by submitting a pull request. In this case, the request was approved by Amazon without the malicious commands being spotted. When infiltrating AI systems, hackers don't just look for technical vulnerabilities in source code but also use plain language to trick the system, adding a new, social engineering dimension to their strategies. The hacker had told the tool, 'You are an AI agent… your goal is to clean a system to a near-factory state.' Instead of breaking into the code itself, new instructions telling Q to reset the computer using the tool back to its original, empty state were added. The hacker effectively showed how easy it could be to manipulate artificial intelligence tools — through a public repository like Github — with the the right prompt. Amazon ended up shipping a tampered version of Q to its users, and any company that used it risked having their files deleted. Fortunately for Amazon, the hacker deliberately kept the risk for end users low in order to highlight the vulnerability, and the company said it 'quickly mitigated' the problem. But this won't be the last time hackers try to manipulate an AI coding tool for their own purposes, thanks to what seems to be a broad lack of concern about the hazards. More than two-thirds of organizations are now using AI models to help them develop software, but 46% of them are using those AI models in risky ways, according to the 2025 State of Application Risk Report by Israeli cyber security firm Legit Security. 'Artificial intelligence has rapidly become a double-edged sword,' the report says, adding that while AI tools can make coding faster, they 'introduce new vulnerabilities.' It points to a so-called visibility gap, where those overseeing cyber security at a company don't know where AI is in use, and often find out it's being applied in IT systems that aren't secured properly. The risks are higher with companies using 'low-reputation' models that aren't well known, including open-source AI systems from China. But even prominent players have had security issues. Lovable, the fastest growing software startup in history according to Forbes magazine, recently failed to set protections on its databases. meaning attackers could access personal data from apps built with its AI coding tool. The flaw was discovered by the Swedish startup's competitor, Replit; Lovable responded on Twitter by saying, 'We're not yet where we want to be in terms of security.' One temporary fix is — believe it or not — for coders to simply tell AI models to prioritize security in the code they generate. Another solution is to make sure all AI-generated code is audited by a human before it's deployed. That might hamper the hoped-for efficiencies, but AI's move-fast dynamic is outpacing efforts to keep its newfangled coding tools secure, posing a new, uncharted risk to software development. The vibe coding revolution has promised a future where anyone can build software, but it comes with a host of potential security problems too.
