Grok 5 has a shot at being true AGI

Subject: Grok 5

Claim

"Wait until you see Grok 5. I think it has a shot at being true AGI." Later: a "chance of reaching AGI", and "smartest AI in the world by a significant margin on every metric" (as reported).

Finding

At the time of this build, the most recent xAI model we can find on public leaderboards is Grok 4.7. Grok 5 has therefore been benchmarked exclusively by its future self.
