Fatos Principais

  • Um ex-engenheiro da xAI, Sulaiman Ghori, discutiu o funcionamento interno da empresa em uma entrevista de podcast e deixou a empresa quatro dias depois.
  • A xAI utiliza aluguéis temporários de 'carnaval' para construir seus centros de dados, permitindo construção e aprovação rápidas.
  • A empresa emprega agentes de IA como funcionários virtuais, com uma equipe liderada por uma única pessoa gerenciando 20 agentes de IA.
  • Elon Musk intervém pessoalmente para corrigir problemas de hardware de fornecedores como a Nvidia, trabalhando lado a lado com engenheiros.
  • A xAI tem um projeto para desenvolver 'emuladores humanos' que poderiam ser alimentados pelo tempo ocioso de milhões de veículos Tesla.
  • Cada commit de código para o repositório da xAI é avaliado em aproximadamente US$ 2,5 milhões, destacando o alto valor do trabalho.

Um Vislumbre Raro por Dentro

Um ex-engenheiro da xAI forneceu uma visão incomumente detalhada sobre a empresa de inteligência artificial de Elon Musk durante uma longa entrevista de podcast, revelando tudo, desde a estratégia de centros de dados não convencional da empresa até seus planos ambiciosos para emuladores humanos digitais. A entrevista, que foi ao ar no podcast "Relentless", ofereceu um raro vislumbre por trás do cortina de uma organização notoriamente secreta.

Apenas quatro dias após a publicação da entrevista, o engenheiro, Sulaiman Ghori, não estava mais trabalhando na empresa. Embora nem a xAI nem Musk tenham comentado sobre a saída de Ghori, o momento gerou especulação generalizada. A entrevista em si cobriu uma ampla gama de tópicos, pintando um quadro de um ambiente de trabalho intenso e em movimento rápido, onde a inovação muitas vezes acontece em velocidade máxima.

Infraestrutura Não Convencional

Uma das revelações mais marcantes dizia respeito à forma como a xAI está construindo seus centros de dados com tanta velocidade. De acordo com Ghori, a empresa utiliza licenças temporárias originalmente destinadas a carnavais. Essa abordagem permitiu que eles contornassem processos de aprovação demorados e começassem a construção imediatamente.

"Era a maneira mais rápida de obter a aprovação e realmente começar a construir as coisas", disse Ghori. "Eu assumo que em algum momento será permanente."

O apresentador do podcast, Ti Morse, brincou com o acordo, perguntando se a xAI era realmente uma empresa de carnaval. A resposta de Ghori foi reveladora: "É uma empresa de carnaval." Essa abordagem pragmática e não convencional parece se estender também ao espaço físico da empresa, que inclui cápsulas de sono, beliches e tendas para funcionários que trabalham durante a noite.

"Era a maneira mais rápida de obter a aprovação e realmente começar a construir as coisas."

— Sulaiman Ghori, Ex-engenheiro da xAI

Funcionários de IA & Emuladores Humanos

A estrutura da força de trabalho da empresa é igualmente inovadora. Ghori descreveu uma estrutura de equipe onde funcionários humanos gerenciam uma equipe de agentes de IA. Ele observou que a equipe que reconstruía as APIs de produção principais da xAI consistia em apenas um humano e 20 agentes. Isso pode levar a confusão organizacional, como Ghori explicou que colegas às vezes o contatavam perguntando sobre um membro da equipe que era, na verdade, uma IA.

No lado do produto, Ghori trabalhou na equipe Macrohard — um nome que é uma brincadeira com a Microsoft. Esta equipe está desenvolvendo "emuladores humanos", que são projetados para realizar ações humanas digitais como usar um teclado, um mouse e tomar decisões em uma tela. O objetivo é escalar isso para um milhão de emuladores, potencialmente usando um novo recurso: veículos Tesla em estado de inatividade.

  • Existem 4 milhões de carros Tesla apenas na América do Norte.
  • Esses veículos ficam ociosos 70-80% do tempo.
  • O plano envolve alugar o tempo ocioso dos proprietários para executar emuladores.

Como Ghori observou, essa abordagem tem "nenhuma necessidade de construção", aproveitando a infraestrutura existente para uma rede de IA distribuída em massa.

Envolvimento Direto de Musk

O papel de Elon Musk na xAI vai além da liderança; ele é descrito como um solucionador hands-on. Quando a empresa encontra problemas com novos hardware de fornecedores como a Nvidia, Musk, segundo relatos, pega o telefone para resolvê-los diretamente.

"Nós trabalharíamos lado a lado até que isso fosse resolvido", disse Ghori. "Caso contrário, levaria semanas de ida e volta."

Essa abordagem hands-on também é refletida nas estruturas de incentivo da empresa. Ghori contou uma história em que Musk ofereceu um Cybertruck a qualquer engenheiro que conseguisse fazer uma execução de treinamento em novos racks de GPU funcionar em 24 horas. Um engenheiro chamado Tyler conseguiu e agora estaciona seu Cybertruck fora do escritório. O processo de integração da empresa é igualmente enxuto; Ghori lembrou que seu primeiro dia envolveu receber um laptop e um crachá, sem mesa atribuída, exigindo que ele procurasse o cofundador Greg Yang para começar a trabalhar.

Roteiro Futuro

Olhando para o futuro, a xAI tem um roteiro de produto claro e ambicioso. Ghori ingressou na empresa em março de 2025, e ele revelou que o próximo modelo principal, Grok-5, já estava planejado e projetado antes de sua chegada. Isso indica uma visão de longo prazo que vai muito além do modelo Grok 4 atualmente disponível.

A avaliação do trabalho da empresa também é excepcionalmente alta. Ghori mencionou que cada "commit" para o código base da xAI é avaliado em aproximadamente US$ 2,5 milhões. Em um dia particular, ele fez cinco commits, valorizando sua contribuição diária em US$ 12,5 milhões. Isso sublinha a natureza de alto risco e alto valor do trabalho sendo feito dentro das paredes da empresa.

Pontos Principais

A entrevista pinta um quadro da xAI como uma empresa que opera com extrema velocidade e métodos não convencionais, desde seus centros de dados temporários até suas equipes pequenas e ágeis. A combinação de funcionários humanos e de IA, combinada com o envolvimento direto de Musk, cria um ambiente de trabalho único e intenso.

Embora as circunstâncias em torno da saída de Sulaiman Ghori permaneçam incertas, suas percepções fornecem um contexto valioso para entender a trajetória da empresa. O foco em aproveitar recursos existentes, como Teslas em estado de inatividade, e o planejamento de longo prazo para modelos como Grok-5 sugerem uma empresa que está pensando muito fora da caixa para alcançar seus objetivos.

"Então a xAI é realmente apenas uma empresa de carnaval?"

— Ti Morse, Apresentador do Podcast 'Relentless'

"É uma empresa de carnaval."

— Sulaiman Ghori, Ex-engenheiro da xAI

"Várias vezes recebi uma mensagem dizendo: 'Ei, este cara no organograma reporta para você. Ele não está hoje ou algo assim?' É uma IA. É um funcionário virtual."

— Sulaiman Ghori, Ex-engenheiro da xAI

"Nós trabalharíamos lado a lado até que isso fosse resolvido. Caso contrário, levaria semanas de ida e volta."

— Sulaiman Ghori, Ex-engenheiro da xAI

"O Elon é tipo: 'OK, você pode ganhar um Cybertruck hoje à noite se conseguir uma execução de treinamento nessas GPUs em 24 horas.'"

— Sulaiman Ghori, Ex-engenheiro da xAI

"Meu primeiro dia, eles apenas me deram um laptop e um crachá..."

— Sulaiman Ghori, Ex-engenheiro da xAI

Meet the family of billionaire Nelson Peltz: From Brooklyn Peltz Beckham's wife to a former pro-hockey player, here's everything we know about his 10 kids

Nelson Peltz, right, and Claudia Heffner Peltz, center, with three of their eight children in 2008. The pair have been married since 1985. Michael Loccisano/Getty Images Billionaire investor Nelson Peltz has 10 children, including eight with wife Claudia Heffner Peltz. His children have made their mark in business, acting, and fashion. While some of his children are more well-known, like his daughter Nicola, others are more private. Nelson Peltz is known for shaking up some of America's biggest companies, but he's also the father of 10 children who have built their own careers during his decades in finance. The 83-year-old has amassed a $1.6 billion fortune as the cofounder of Trian Partners, an activist investment firm with stakes in major companies like Wendy's and Procter & Gamble. Today, his legacy extends beyond his wealth and through his children — some of whom have made names for themselves in the public eye. His daughter, Nicola Peltz Beckham, married into the famous family of Victoria Beckham and David Beckham through the 2022 marriage to their son, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham. Nelson Peltz shares eight children with his wife, former model Claudia Heffner Peltz, and two with his first wife, Cynthia Abrams. Some of his children have kept a low profile, choosing to keep their identities hidden. Several of them have made their marks in business, acting, and fashion. Business Insider did not receive responses to requests for comment from Nelson Peltz's company, Trian Fund Management, Brad Peltz, and a representative for Will Peltz and Nicola Peltz Beckham. Nelson Peltz Heidi Gutman/CNBC via Getty Images Before he became the father of 10 children, Nelson Peltz was a college dropout working for his family business. "I was quite bored at Wharton," he told Bloomberg in July 2022 about his college experience at the University of Pennsylvania business school. "I felt that was the wrong place. What I really wanted to do was ski." After some time as a "ski bum," he moved back home, working for his family's food-distribution company — and investing on the side using his bar mitzvah money and some contributions from family and friends, per Bloomberg. By 1973, he'd grown the family business and taken it public, Bloomberg reported, and more than two decades later, in 2005, he cofounded Trian Fund Management, now called Trian Partners. The firm had an estimated $8.5 billion in assets under management, including stakes as of April 2025, Forbes reported. As an activist investor, the firm takes large equity stakes in companies and helps them make changes to improve their business. "We see companies that were once great but have lost their way, and we have a plan for them to get back to greatness again," Peltz said in the 2022 Bloomberg interview. "We're not there to do all the terrible things that typically go along with the term 'activist.' We're just trying to get these companies to operate better, the way they used to." He served as the non-executive chairperson of the Wendy's Corporation until September 2024 and was involved in a proxy fight with Walt Disney Co. that spanned from 2023 to 2024. According to a 1964 wedding announcement in The New York Times, Nelson Peltz's first wife, Abrams, got married at the Plaza Hotel and went on to have two children whose identities have been kept private. After the pair broke up, Peltz married Heffner Peltz, who has mostly kept out of the limelight during the marriage. Together, the couple shares eight children: Will, Brad, Brittany, Matthew, Diesel, Nicola, Zachary, and Gregory. Peltz made headlines in 2023 for suing the planners of his daughter Nicola's wedding to Brooklyn Beckham, Business Insider's Claire Atkinson reported. In the court filings, the billionaire investor alleged he was "hoodwinked" and asked for the planner to return his six-figure deposit plus legal fees. Matthew Peltz Matthew Peltz's ascent in the world of finance is arguably a product of his father's corporate legacy. The son of Nelson Peltz and Claudia Peltz attended Yale University and began working at Goldman Sachs as an investment banking analyst the day after graduating in May 2006, according to Forbes. In January 2008, Matthew Peltz left Goldman to join his father's investment fund, Trian. As a partner at Trian, he managed portfolio companies, including discount chain Family Dollar, whose shares jumped under his tenure, Forbes reported. In 2013, at 29, he made the Forbes 30 Under 30 list for finance. From 2012 to 2015, Matthew Peltz served as a director at Arby's. He then took on the same role at the fast-food chain Wendy's, according to the company's website. Since November 2021, he's served as its vice chairman. His business moves have paid off nicely: In 2020, Matthew Peltz purchased a waterfront mansion in Gulf Stream, Florida, for $10.5 million, the South Florida Business Journal reported. The 10,154-square-foot home includes six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, three half-bathrooms, a pool, a dock, an office, a massage room, and an exercise room, per the South Florida Business Journal. Will Peltz William Peltz is seen arriving at the Boss Fashion Show during the Milan Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2023 on September 22, 2022 in Milan, Italy. Victor Boyko/Contributor/Getty Images Will Peltz is a model and actor who has appeared in films including "Sierra Burgess Is a Loser," "Time Freak," and "Unfriended." He's also walked the runway for Philipp Plein and Zadig & Voltaire and shot campaigns with brands like Calvin Klein and Armani. "It's a lot more intimidating than your traditional acting roles," Will Peltz told Vogue about runway modeling. "You only have around 30 seconds or so to get it right. You have to make your walk convincing and make the clothes look damn good — but it's so gratifying when you're off the catwalk." Brad Peltz (L-R) Vanessa Chidiac, Brad Peltz, Republic Records Co-Founder and CEO Monte Lipman and Angelina Lipman attend the 2022 Republic Records VMA Afterparty at The Fleur Room on August 28, 2022 in New York City. Slaven Vlasic/Stringer/Getty Images Brad Peltz is a former professional ice hockey player for the Ottawa Senators. He was drafted by the team in 2009, according to his LinkedIn profile, and played from August 2012 to April 2013. He attended Yale University from 2011 to 2015 and graduated with a degree in political science, per his LinkedIn. In 2016, he founded a startup called Mymo, which is an automated scheduling platform for patients and doctors. He served as its CEO until 2021. In his LinkedIn profile, Brad Peltz said he's a "patient with a chronic illness" and wrote that he "founded Mymo after multiple extended hospital stays, which showed numerous fractures in the healthcare delivery continuum." Brad Peltz became a director at Wendy's in July 2025 while serving as the managing director of franchisee Yellow Cab Holdings, which owns about 90 Wendy's restaurants across New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, according to the company's website. Brittany Peltz Buerstedde Brittany Peltz attends Twenty Celebrates It's Official Launch At TAO Los Angeles at TAO on April 09, 2019 in Los Angeles, California. Phillip Faraone/Stringer/Getty Images Brittany Peltz Buerstedde has worn many hats throughout her career. As a child, she wanted to become a competitive ice skater, Aventura Magazine reported. After getting injured, she began pursuing a career in the arts. She studied at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, interned at the Gagosian Gallery, and eventually became a fashion designer who launched a children's clothing line inspired by her family's summers in the South of France, WWD reported. In 2014, Brittany Peltz Buerstedde married Franz-Ferdinand Buerstedde, the managing director of Rhône Capital, a private-equity firm, per Aventura. They have four children — Eva Leah, Lila Rae, Indy Moon, and Phoenix Blu — according to her Instagram. Brittany's family lived in a high-rise in lower Manhattan for some time, but when the pandemic hit, they relocated to a gated community in Miami close to the Design District. "The energy in the city felt off, and I didn't feel safe sending my kids out," she told Aventura. The couple also bought a waterfront lot in Miami for $10.8 million in 2021, The Real Deal reported, though it's unclear if they built a house there. She is the founder and creative director of Sena Lifestyle Studio, an interior-design studio that blends elements of wellness and spirituality, Haute Living reported. She credits her strong family values to her upbringing. "I loved my upbringing and am so grateful to have the most incredible parents, who taught me that family and love are, above all, most important," Brittany Peltz Buerstedde told Aventura. Diesel Peltz (L-R) Diesel Peltz, Charles Revson and Leo Rogath attend The Gordon Parks Foundation 10th Anniversary Awards Dinner and Auction at Cipriani 42nd Street on May 24, 2016 in New York City. Patrick McMullan/Contributor/Getty Images Diesel Peltz's entrepreneurial journey began thanks to his father. After dropping out of New York University in 2015, he took a leap of faith to cofound Twenty, a mobile app that seeks to eliminate FOMO (fear of missing out) by alerting users where their friends are so they can meet up. Peltz backed the startup in its initial rounds of seed funding, Forbes reported, as did DJ Khaled, who told Forbes that tech that facilitates social interaction is "going to be the next big thing." Getting the app on the market took years, according to Forbes. Diesel Peltz started off by testing a beta version at multiple college campuses, Forbes reported, but he said that he didn't feel pressure to turn a profit right away. The app officially launched in 2019. Later that year, it merged with Mappen, a social-media platform for location tracking, per Forbes. That same year, Diesel was named to Forbes' 30 Underfor consumer technology. Diesel Peltz has also cofounded and is the CEO of Healthy Together, the firm behind the healthtech app of the same name, according to Crunchbase. Despite the advantages of coming from a wealthy family, Nelson said in a 2020 Q&A with Thrive Global that "most days are filled with a set of small failures and successes," though he did not specify what those were. Nicola Peltz Beckham Saira MacLeod/WWD via Getty Images The 31-year-old is an actor who has appeared in "Bates Motel," "Transformers: Age of Extinction," and "Avatar: The Last Airbender." She's perhaps better known as Brooklyn Peltz Beckham's other half. She married the son of the soccer legend David Beckham and the former Spice Girl and fashion designer Victoria Beckham in 2022. The pair's wedding took place at the Peltz family estate in Palm Beach, which, according to the South Florida Sun Sentinel, was purchased in 1987 for $18 million. The couple's nuptials made the news in 2023 because of Nelson Peltz's lawsuit against Plan Design Events, a Florida-based party-planning company that was hired to organize the affair. He sued for $159,000 plus legal fees, hoping to recover his nonrefundable deposit after the family moved to a different planner at the last minute. Both parties said in a September 2023 joint statement that the legal battle had been settled and that Plan Design Events would make a donation to the CARE Ukraine Crisis Fund in Brooklyn and Nicola's names, People reported. On January 19, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham posted a series of Instagram Stories in which he accused his parents of spreading "countless lies" in the media about him and his family. He alleged that Victoria Beckham canceled making Nicola Peltz Beckham's wedding dress "in the eleventh hour." He concluded his statement by saying that the narrative that his wife controls his life is "completely backwards." Like some of her brothers, Nicola Peltz Beckham played ice hockey when she was younger. She told Coveteur that her dad had "really wanted me to focus on playing ice hockey," but when she was 11, she asked her mom if she could try acting. "It started because I loved my drama class," she told Coveteur. "My parents were very against it [at first]. They didn't get it. We lived an hour away from Manhattan, and I convinced my mom to bring me to one manager." She said that she ended up booking her very first audition for a play called "Blackbird" at Manhattan Theatre Club. Zachary and Gregory Peltz View this post on Instagram A post shared by zp (@zachpeltz20) Zachary Peltz and Gregory Peltz were born in February 2003 to Nelson Peltz and Claudia Heffner Peltz. They've stayed mostly out of the spotlight and on the ice. According to the hockey-statistics site Elite Prospects, Zachary Peltz spent the 2021-2022 season as part of an AAA team, the highest level of youth hockey, at Mount St. Charles Academy. Gregory Peltz, who also played hockey, attends the University of Miami Herbert Business School, according to his LinkedIn profile. Both men appear to have a close relationship with their older sister, Nicola Peltz Beckham, and her famous husband, social media posts indicate. In 2016, their father threw them an extravagant bar mitzvah that had stilt walkers, two bands, five singers, a hockey rink, a basketball hoop, and video games. Page Six reported.
