Gate News Report, March 13 — xAI co-founder Zihang Dai left the company this week, and another co-founder, Guodong Zhang, confirmed on X today that this is his last day at xAI. Zhang reports directly to Musk and is responsible for two key projects: Grok Code (programming agent) and Grok Imagine (AI image and video generation).
