Elon Musk Challenges xAI’s Grok 5 to Outplay Top League of Legends Players by 2026
Elon Musk has set an ambitious goal for xAI's upcoming AI model, Grok 5: to defeat a team of top-tier human League of Legends players by 2026. Announced via social platform X, Musk outlined stringent conditions for the match, including visual and reaction constraints mimicking human capabilities. The challenge aims to advance Grok 5's artificial general intelligence (AGI) in gaming.
Originally slated for release this year, Grok 5's launch has been postponed to early 2026. Insider reports suggest the model will boast 60 trillion parameters and multimodal functionality, processing both text and visual data. Musk's call for developers to join xAI's gaming platform underscores the project's focus on bridging AI and competitive gaming.
