What was said

"It's pretty clear that Sonnet 5 now is a way to kind of fill this gap until Fable 5 is back out. A kind of mediocre capability at a high price point, but people will still need to buy it. Elon has made the claim that he's going to iterate a new model and release it every month for the rest of the year."

Elon Musk announced an aggressive strategy to pre-train a completely new AI model from scratch every month through the end of 2025, not just post-training iterations. This brute force approach leverages SpaceX's massive compute resources and represents an unprecedented development cadence in frontier AI. Musk is pulling top engineers from SpaceX and Tesla to focus on xAI and the Grok platform.
