xAI collaborates with Telegram

Elon Musk’s xAI has signed a one-year agreement with Telegram, bringing its Grok chatbot to over a billion users on the messaging platform this summer in return for $300 million and a revenue-sharing deal.

The details:

• Telegram founder Pavel Durov announced the partnership (agreed in principle) on X, noting that the deal includes $300 million paid to Telegram in a combination of cash and equity.

• Telegram will also earn 50% of all revenue generated from xAI subscriptions made through its platform.

• Grok will be integrated into Telegram with features such as chat pinning, search bar integration, writing assistance, avatar generation, and document summarization.

• Durov also confirmed that xAI will only have access to data shared through direct interactions with Grok, not general user content on Telegram.

Black Forest Labs FLUX 1 Kontext

Black Forest Labs has unveiled FLUX.1 Kontext, a new AI system capable of understanding both text and images — allowing users to edit and transform visuals using simple text prompts while preserving character consistency across iterations.

The details:

• Unlike traditional text-to-image models, Kontext combines visual and textual inputs, enabling precise edits at speeds up to 8x faster than competing systems.

• It stands out for its ability to preserve characters, perform localized edits, apply style transfers, and maintain visual consistency over multiple steps and image versions.

• BFL introduced two versions: Kontext [pro] for fast, multi-step editing, and Kontext [max] for superior quality, prompt accuracy, and advanced typography.

• They also launched Playground — a web-based platform where businesses can experiment with the models before integrating them through APIs.
