Musk says Grok Bot’s costs are ‘unsustainably high,’ while OpenAI admits Dots are ‘compute heavy.’ Is the personal AI agent push dead on arrival?

The success of Meta’s Muse personal assistant has convinced the AI industry that personal agents that proactively complete tasks are the next logical evolution of the technology, but it’s unclear if there is enough compute to power them—at least in the timeframe that these companies are betting on. This week, Elon Musk said the cost of running Grok Bot, the personal AI assistant SpaceX introduced in August, is “unsustainably high relative to revenue.” He suggested the company was throttling back the compute allocation for the technology, causing users to hit their limits faster.
