Musk finally entered AI. Today he announced the establishment of xAI company in a high-profile manner, and said very well that the reason for launching xAI is to "understand the true nature of the universe."
In addition, the official website of xAI is also online, the official website URL:

xAI is a separate company from X Corp (Twitter's holding company). It will work closely with X (Twitter), Tesla, and others to make progress toward its mission.
For xAI, this is very important, which means that the training data, computing power and application scenarios are all complete.
The most important information disclosed by xAI this time is the team members: xAI lists 12 main team members on the official website.
In addition to Musk, there are also heavyweights such as Jimmy Ba, a professor at the University of Toronto who studied under AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton, and Christian Szegedy, a scientist who has been engaged in AI research at Google for many years.
Among the 12 people, there are 4 Chinese researchers, namely Yuhuai Wu, Greg Yang, Guodong Zhang and Zihang Dai.
Greg Yang, one of the co-founders of xAI, said that the company will delve into the "mathematics of deep learning" in artificial intelligence (AI), explore AI's "theory of everything", and then push the entire AI technology to a new level.
After the establishment of xAI, the number of companies managed by Musk reached 6, and the other 5 were Tesla, SpaceX, social media platform Twitter (X company), brain-computer interface company Neuralink, and underground tunnel company The Boring Company.
Life goes on and on and on. For Musk, who is constantly tossing between space and the earth, I hope he can free up more innovative products.
