X Corp and SpaceXAI move to dismiss Apple from antitrust lawsuit
X Corp and SpaceXAI filed to dismiss the portion of their antitrust complaint against Apple in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, according to a news report; the companies said they will continue the suit against OpenAI while dropping Apple, and the filing did not disclose whether a settlement was reached. This narrows the high‑profile litigation around Grok’s distribution and could alter discovery and competitive claims affecting the product’s market placement.

Musk says Grok 4.8 will finish pretraining this week and enter reinforcement learning
Elon Musk posted that Grok 4.8 is a 2.5‑trillion‑parameter model trained with a new C++ software stack and will complete its current training run this week before moving into reinforcement learning; xAI/SpaceXAI has not published a model card, API identifier or pricing for 4.8. This is a near‑term training milestone that signals xAI is progressing larger‑scale runs and an internal shift to a C++ stack, but it remains an informal update without verification or a release timeline to developers.
