On June 8, 2025, tech and business circles are actively discussing reports that xAI has nearly completed the beta development of its next AI model iteration – Grok 3.5. According to information from several industry publications, including ixbt.com and moneytimes.ru, Elon Musk himself has recently shifted his focus significantly, actively participating in the final stages of this ambitious project and giving it top priority. The beta version of Grok 3.5 is expected to debut this summer and will be positioned not just as another general-purpose chatbot, but as a powerful tool capable of solving highly specialized and technically complex tasks. Examples of application areas mentioned include complex calculations in rocket science, analysis of intricate processes in electrochemistry, and other science-intensive fields that require "first-principles reasoning" rather than just text generation. This indicates xAI's strategy to create a new generation of AI focused on solving real-world engineering and scientific problems. This focus on complex technical tasks could be the key differentiator for Grok 3.5 from its competitors and is part of Musk's broader strategy to integrate advanced AI into his industrial and research ventures like SpaceX and Tesla. The market eagerly awaits the official announcement and a demonstration of the new model's capabilities, which could significantly impact the balance of power in the AI race.
