The military already has access to Grok, but doesn't want it, because it's an inferior model, even compared to open source ones. So the military would probably choose to replace supply chain risk Claude with Qwen or Kimi before Grok.

Grok is according to most benchmarks pretty close to SOTA. It is where the leaders were just a few weeks ago.

Which exactly is best changes on almost a weekly basis as different companies tweak their best model. I doubt the military would want to be switching supplier every week.

I think that tells you more about the uselessness of SOTA benchmarks.

I think it says more about people's ability to ignore the truth if it doesn't support their world view. Oh you don't want Grok to be SOTA? Then it isn't! Problem solved

It would be untouchable irony for the US to cut all ties with Anthropic and replace them with models developed by Chinese labs. The Onion becomes more irrelevant with each passing day.

I thought I had a sense of dejavu. I was wrong.

How many generations does it take before the historians/archeologists uncover old issues of The Onion and decide it was the authoritative news of the day?

Musk was embedded in the military industrial complex with Thiel since day 1.
