SpaceXAI is exploring informal talks to acquire operational data from struggling or defunct startups to train its Grok AI models. This strategy marks a shift beyond relying solely on data from Elon Musk's X platform, seeking diverse external datasets to enhance model performance. The approach mirrors Google's past interest in acquiring Spirit Airlines' operational data for AI training. Negotiations remain in early stages with no confirmed agreements, and SpaceX has not officially commented on the reports.
