Elon Musk's xAI is enhancing its Grok chatbot with a new "Skills" feature, enabling persistent memory across conversations and allowing users to teach it specific tasks. This development aims to transform Grok into a more programmable workspace, moving beyond simple Q&A. Concurrently, reports suggest SpaceX is preparing for a significant IPO, potentially valued up to $75 billion, with BlackRock considering a $5-10 billion investment. SpaceX is also reportedly in talks to acquire the AI coding startup Cursor for an undisclosed sum, which would bolster its AI capabilities.
