SpaceX discusses buying data for AI models from failed startups
The firm is targeting operational data and customer information to train Grok, among other sets, according to sources.
Elon Musk's SpaceX has reportedly held internal discussions about procuring data from failed or struggling startups to enhance its artificial intelligence (AI) models. The reported strategy, similar to Google's acquisition of data from Spirit Airlines, aims to secure a more cost-effective source of data to improve the performance of SpaceX's AI systems.
While the talks remain informal and may not culminate in a deal, the move reflects SpaceXAI's broader objective of securing high-quality data to bolster its offerings against competitors such as Anthropic PBC and OpenAI.
