Overview

  • Musk announced Macrohard on X on August 22, calling it “very real” and inviting engineers to join xAI to build the project.
  • xAI filed a Macrohard trademark application on August 1 that broadly covers AI software for speech and text generation, coding tools, and AI-created video games.
  • Musk outlined a multi‑agent design in which Grok spawns hundreds of specialized coding and media agents and tests outputs with virtual human interactions inside virtual machines.
  • Coverage ties the effort to xAI’s expanding Colossus supercomputer in Memphis and to Musk’s stated plans to acquire large numbers of Nvidia GPUs to power the system.
  • Grok engaged on X to suggest AI could theoretically replicate Microsoft’s operations, while reporters and commentators highlighted open questions about feasibility, governance, and intellectual property.
