An announcement, not a release. The brief.

The FeaturedDaily DeskVerified May 2026

On 25 May 2026 Musk said xAI's ~1.5T-parameter Grok V9-Medium had finished training.

What happened. On 25 May, Elon Musk said xAI's V9-Medium — reportedly ~1.5 trillion parameters, around three times the current production model — had finished training, with internal evals described as positive. A mid-June release was floated.

The status. Unverified. By mid-June there was no confirmed release date, model card or independent benchmarks, and the separately hyped Grok 5 remained in training (attribute, don't assert).
