This is insane. Elon Musk’s “Macrohard” project has been exposed. An xAI senior engineer leaked secret information about an 8 billion parameter model and got fired. The whole tech world is talking about it.
This is a real internal drama.
Just recently, a post on X went viral with over 4.6 million views.
People were shocked. But the story was not over.
In a podcast called “Relentless,” xAI senior engineer Sulaiman Khan Ghori revealed how Elon Musk trains AI models. He compared it to training a Cybertruck.
He said that when xAI engineers train models on GPU clusters, Elon Musk’s optimization method is simple and brutal. He takes all the GPUs and runs one training task for 24 hours. The result is like training a Cybertruck.
What is even more interesting is that the host, Tyler, mentioned a code name during the show. Ghori confirmed it. The code name was “Macrohard.” This is a secret internal project at xAI.

The Cybertruck is just the beginning. What Ghori revealed is just the tip of the iceberg. He also mentioned another internal project called “Macrohard.”
He challenged the audience to guess what Elon Musk is really building. The answer is hidden in the code name.
With 4.6 million views in just a few days, the post went viral. But then something strange happened. The job status changed.
People started asking: Did he get fired because he leaked the secret?
He Challenged Elon Musk and Left xAI
Elon Musk is known for being very strict. xAI is also known for being very intense.
But before we go further, let me ask you. Do you know what xAI really is?
When xAI was founded, its team included top talent from DeepMind, OpenAI, Google Research, Microsoft Research, Tesla, and the University of Toronto. These are the best AI researchers in the world.
When it comes to model quality, xAI is one of the top companies.
So what is xAI really building?
According to xAI senior engineer Sulaiman Ghori, when xAI was founded, he was directly recruited. He posted a video on X that got 4.6 million views.
But now, Sulaiman Khan Ghori has confirmed that he left xAI.
Many people are asking: Did Elon Musk fire him because he leaked secrets?
Some people think the video was a prank by MrBeast. Others think he was fired because of the leak.
But in his farewell post, he said he was leaving for personal reasons. He said he would not share any secrets about Elon Musk or xAI.

Sulaiman Khan Ghori calls himself a “hacker.”
On his personal website, he wrote that his career goal is to build “the next Windows.” He believes that AI will replace 3 percent of all software developers.
He likes to make money. But he also likes to build things.
He writes game scripts for money. He installs 3D printers. He once built a server in 24 hours.

He is very confident.
He said that when he was in college, he was very popular. “The day before I went home for the break, I would either finish all my homework or just not do it at all.”
Later, he joined xAI. He moved to a small town in Texas. The rent was only 600 dollars for a place over 1,000 square feet.
He said he did this because he was “arrogant.” He thought he could do anything. He wanted to challenge himself.
But he said it was worth it.
In the podcast, he said directly:
“I want to challenge the traditional path to success. I want to take a different road.”
“I want to build something that will change the world. I want to do something that most people think is impossible.”
This is very much in line with Elon Musk’s style. It is also the reason why he joined xAI.
When xAI was founded, he was connected to Greg Yang, one of the founders of xAI.
At that time, Sulaiman Khan Ghori was working at a startup. He was building a project called “Macrohard.” He had raised millions of dollars.
But after talking to Greg, he gave up his own company and joined xAI. He thought the opportunity was too good to pass up.
He sent Greg an email asking for a job interview.
In the email, Ghori said he admired Elon Musk. He said he wanted to work with the best engineers in the world. He wanted to join xAI.
At that time, xAI was still a small company. It was like a “startup game.” The data was messy. But as long as you could solve problems, you were a good engineer.
On his first day at work, he was welcomed with a laptop and a coffee machine. But there was no team.
Greg told him that the Macrohard project was still in the planning stage. At that time, it was just a concept.
At that time, the AI model was very small. The training data was very small. The model was called Grok 3.
But in the second quarter, everything changed.
First, the X plus Grok combination. Then the image generation model. Then the iOS team. And the image generation model called Imagine.
At that time, the team was growing very fast.
Ghori was very happy. “Because every day, there is something new.”
But then, he started to notice something strange. He saw a product review document called “Macrohard Hardware Review.”
This is the internal leak. The Macrohard roadmap. The reason he left xAI.
What he revealed is not just a model. It is a whole new world.
The Macrohard Roadmap: Model and Hardware
Before the internal leak, Elon Musk had already talked about the Macrohard project many times.
The goal is to build a fully AI-driven company. It will surpass Microsoft.

In the podcast, Sulaiman Khan Ghori explained the goal of the Macrohard project in detail:
“The first step is to build human emulators. These are AI agents that can use keyboards, browse the web, write code, and modify code. They can do everything a human can do on a computer.”
“The second step is to build a bigger model.”
Ghori thinks this is very simple.
“If you want to build an AI that can do everything a human can do, you need to train it on all the tasks that humans do.”
“You need to collect all the data from the internet and all the work that humans do. Then you need to simulate it.”
Ghori said that to train a model with hundreds of billions of parameters, you need to do research on a scale that has never been done before.
“If you want to train a 100 billion parameter model, you need hundreds of thousands of GPUs.”
“How do you do that?”
“The answer is simple. You use Elon Musk’s special computer.”

The logic is very simple.
First, you buy a lot of GPUs from AWS. Then you build a data center. Then you put all the GPUs in the data center. Then you connect them all to Elon Musk’s computer.
Then you train the model. The model learns from all the data that humans create. It learns from driving, parking, and everything else.
Then xAI makes money. It sells the model. It makes money from the model. xAI uses a distributed training method.
“In practice, this means building a new kind of computer.”
“This computer is not big. It is small. But it is very powerful.”
The 122-Day Speed Record and Internal Conflict
In 122 days, xAI built the Colossus supercomputer. The speed was record-breaking. The computing power was unmatched.
But it was too fast. From the beginning to the end, the whole process was rushed. The model was also rushed.
According to the Macrohard project, Sulaiman Ghori studied the goal of the project. He found that SpaceX launches one rocket and loses ten million dollars each time.
Every delay costs one day. Every day costs money. The money is burning.
That person is Ghori. He built a 1.5 billion parameter model with 8 small models. He trained it on real data. But he could not beat the bigger models.
He found that the path he was taking was the exact opposite of what the big models were doing. This also affected the work of other engineers.
This was not because he was slow. It was because the automatic driving logic and the distributed training system had too many bugs. And they did not want to pay to fix them.
To speed up the Macrohard project, the team moved into a “War Room.”
In the War Room, there were no days or nights. There was only code. There was only the model. There was only the data.
But the model was still not good enough. It was still not smart enough.
When xAI’s internal engineers tested the model, they found that it was not as good as other AI models.
They sent a message asking, “Is this position still open?” The AI replied, “Yes, this position is still open.”
But when the engineers went to check the position, they found that the position had been filled. The AI was wrong.
They found that the model would make up facts. It would say things that were not true.
Sulaiman Ghori received a message saying, “You have been reported. Are you okay?”
He just replied with a simple sentence. “I am fine.”
But the Macrohard project also failed. The model was not good enough. The project was delayed. There were many problems.
When the client asked how to solve the problem, the AI replied, “I don’t know.” Then the AI said it would go to the factory to check. Then it said it would optimize the code. Then it leaked 20 billion parameters of internal data.
The model was opened for one hour but could not answer a single question. It needed to be trained. But the training was repetitive. It was boring.
The model’s answers were not as good as expected. These untrained models were not as good as other models.
The Real Reason He Left
Just after the leak, Sulaiman Khan Ghori announced his departure. The timing was very suspicious.
He got 310,000 views. He said he was leaving xAI. He said he was leaving for personal reasons. He said he would not leak any more internal information.
This is the second time that a former OpenAI CTO has left a company and then leaked secrets.
Some investors and business people believe that the media is treating him like “Pharma Bro” Martin Shkreli. They think he leaked internal information on purpose to build a small app.
Elon Musk’s 15-year-old investor Amy thinks Shkreli is wrong. She said Shkreli is a convicted criminal. She said he knows nothing about this.
She said the person who appeared was not Shkreli. It was someone else.
Elon Musk himself responded to xAI’s leak. He mentioned the Macrohard project in his response. He said the project was still in the early stages. He said the model was still being trained. He also shared xAI’s job postings.

He said in one sentence that the podcast mentioned some information that was already public. He said it was not a big deal. He said it was not a secret.
But Elon Musk’s response was very interesting. He did not directly deny the leak. Instead, he used a very clever way to avoid the question.
He said the “leak” was actually a success. It proved that xAI’s internal security was working.
Sulaiman Khan Ghori’s departure from xAI was quite sudden. He said he left for personal reasons. But many people do not believe it.
Some people think he was fired. Others think he left because xAI’s internal culture was too intense. Others think xAI’s management was too strict.
He left. But he did not leave quietly. He left with a bang.
Good luck. May the road ahead be smooth.
