Odaily Odaily reports: According to an internal memo, Elon Musk's AI company, xAI, has "borrowed" an executive from SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service division to lead the model training team for the Grok chatbot.
The team was previously led by young engineer Diego Pasini. The newly appointed head is Jack Garabedian, who has served as an engineer on the Starlink project at SpaceX since 2021. After joining xAI, he will take over the "Human Data Team," a team of hundreds of experts responsible for training Grok across various fields from finance to science. Neither Pasini nor Garabedian responded to requests for comment, and representatives from SpaceX and xAI also did not reply. (Jinshi Data)
