Grok AI

There are situations that even Elon Musk fears—and we aren’t talking about an angry President Trump, but rather AI competition that is not only growing fast but also capturing key strategic ground.

As everyone knows, OpenAI currently holds the leadership position in the LLM world. However, while two years ago it was Google declaring a "code red," just a month ago Sam Altman had to admit to his own "code red" upon seeing the progress of Google Gemini, and above all, Nano Banana—their image AI.

Until now, Musk seemed unshaken with his Grok, spending astronomical sums on new data centers and AI factories, installing hundreds of thousands of chips, and constantly increasing the planned computing power of these facilities.

Yesterday, however, Musk snapped. He posted on his platform that it is unwise to cede so much power to Google, considering the company already holds an advantage through Chrome and Android, and is now additionally entering Apple’s ecosystem.

This clearly shook the composure of the richest man—and the greatest dramatist—of our times. The Apple–Google deal, under which Gemini (not OpenAI, not Grok, but Gemini) is coming to Apple Intelligence, is a move of colossal importance.

Additionally, Apple used an incredibly painful argument: in an official document, they stated that only Gemini meets Apple's privacy standards. That is a direct blow to Grok.

Indeed—Google, dominating on Android and now entering iOS via Apple, is starting to smell increasingly like a monopoly, one that already dominates search today.

Interestingly, for Google, this is also a strategic leap forward. The search market is constantly shifting toward AI. In December, for the first time in history, 20% of search queries originated from LLMs.

I basically don’t ask "Uncle Google" anything anymore—I use Grok and ChatGPT.

We are therefore witnessing a clash of titans where the stakes are not just the market or money, but which system will become our future Jarvis. And right now—before our very eyes—that decision is being settled.
