SpaceXAI is expanding its technical and data infrastructure to support its Grok AI models. The company is deploying NVIDIA Vera CPUs to manage intensive agentic AI workloads, such as reasoning and code execution, and plans to extend this architecture to orbit via the Starmind AI satellite.

Parallel to hardware developments, SpaceXAI is reportedly holding informal internal discussions regarding the acquisition of customer and operational records from defunct or struggling startups to train Grok. Elon Musk has expressed ambitions to train Grok on the “total sum of SpaceX information,” including employee data. This strategy has prompted privacy scrutiny, including an inquiry by the Data Protection Commission in Europe regarding the legality of processing user data for model training.

On September 21, 2026, SpaceXAI released Grok 4.7, a model optimized for coding and knowledge work. Available via Cursor, Grok Build, and the Grok API, the model utilizes a larger base model and extensive reinforcement learning for complex, long-duration tasks. SpaceXAI claims the model is twice as fast and half the cost of comparable competitors. In benchmarks, Grok 4.7 demonstrated high proficiency in electrical engineering, legal tasks, and coding, while also showing enhanced resistance to jailbreaking and malicious cybersecurity prompts.

On September 24, 2026, further details regarding Grok 4.7 emerged, highlighting its ability to manage long contexts and self-verify its own work. While the model offers improved performance over Grok 4.6, pricing remains consistent with the previous generation, with API costs starting at 2 USD per million input tokens and 6 USD per million output tokens, though rates increase for long-context tasks.
