[Elon Musk: Significant Gap Between Grok V9 and V8, V9 Training Version Already Shows Superior Performance] Odaily Planet Daily News - Elon Musk posted on the X platform, stating that the recently completed Grok V9 (1.5T parameters) training run has performed 'very well,' and this result has not yet incorporated the supplementary training portion of Cursor data. The foundational model version currently under internal development is V9, with a parameter scale of approximately 1.5 trillion. Compared to V8, it has seen significant improvements in data cleaning, training methods, model scale, and has been optimized for the Blackwell architecture to enhance computational efficiency. Musk emphasized that, by comparison, the current external version, v4.2, is built on the V8 foundational model, with a parameter scale of approximately 0.5 trillion, running on the Hopper architecture, and still has certain limitations in terms of training data quality and coverage. The performance gap between Grok V8 and V9 is substantial, with the new generation model achieving a leap in overall capabilities.
