Elon Musk Says AI Still Falls Short for Extremely High-Performance Software

Elon Musk said he believes artificial intelligence is not yet good enough for the most advanced computer programming tasks. His comments concern what the source describes as “extremely high-performance software.”

According to Wccftech, Musk shared the view in a tweet responding to earlier remarks about SpaceXAI’s Grok AI. Those remarks said Grok relies on reinforcement learning after completing pretraining.

Musk also said Grok 4.9 should be able to match models in the Fable class. The statement points to a future capability target, rather than confirming that Grok 4.9 currently meets it.

The source also says the latest Grok iteration discussed, Grok 4.8, uses 2.5 trillion parameters. It describes that figure as a significant increase over previous Grok models, but does not provide comparable parameter counts for those earlier versions.

The comments were made by Musk, whom the source identifies as the head of SpaceXAI and Tesla. They reflect his assessment of current AI performance in demanding software work, while leaving open how quickly later Grok versions might close that gap.
