On X (formerly Twitter), xAI cofounder Yuhuai Wu said they are building a team to work on “computer control agents.” These will be used in Macrohard and also in Grok 5, which is the next version of Musk’s chatbot. Wu also said they hope to achieve big results by the end of this year.

Musk shared the job post too and wrote, “Help build Macrohard, the AI software company!”
