[{"h":"What V9-Medium is","p":"xAI launched Grok V9-Medium on June 16, 2026, a 1.5-trillion-parameter model — three times larger than the previous production model — aimed specifically at coding tasks."},{"h":"Trained on Cursor data","p":"According to xAI, the model was trained on a large volume of real development sessions from the Cursor editor (acquired by SpaceX), including how developers describe requirements, navigate codebases, and iterate on fixes over long sessions."},{"h":"Not Grok 5","p":"xAI stresses that V9-Medium is a separate model from Grok 5, the flagship still in training and estimated at around 6 trillion parameters — V9-Medium is specifically coding-focused, not a replacement for the company's main model."}]
