Musk calls Grok 5 to challenge LOL’s strongest human team next year: if successful, it will prove a substantial breakthrough in AGI

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk Musk, today (25th) dropped a shock bomb on his personal
Musk has clearly set two major restrictions: one is that Grok 5 can only view the screen through an ordinary camera, and the field of view must not exceed the 20/20 range of normal human vision, and cannot obtain internal game data, APIs or any metadata; the other is that the response delay and mouse click speed must not be faster than top human players, completely blocking the "superhuman reaction" advantage of AI.
Musk emphasized that the design goal of Grok 5 is that "as long as you read the game instructions, you can learn to play any game through experiments like humans." He believes that if he can defeat the world champion under such conditions of "pure vision + pure human speed", it will be the strongest proof that general artificial intelligence (AGI) is heading towards a substantial breakthrough. At the end of the post, he directly waved to engineers around the world: "Those who want to solve the key puzzles of AGI are welcome to join xAI!"
Let’s see if @Grok 5 can beat the best human team @LeagueOfLegends in 2026 with these important constraints:
1. Can only look at the monitor with a camera, seeing no more than what a person with 20/20 vision would see.
2. Reaction latency and click rate no faster than human.…

A list of currently known information about Grok 5
Currently, Grok 5 is still in the training stage and is expected to be officially launched in the first quarter of 2026. However, according to public information, the parameters and information about Grok 5 may include:
- Parameter scale: approx. 6 MB, twice that of Grok 4, which will bring greater reasoning power, on-the-fly learning and complex task processing capabilities.
- Core capabilities: multi-modal (text, image, video, audio), real-time reinforcement learning, tool use
- Training resources: xAI "Colossus 2" supercomputer (550,000 GPUs)
- Ultimate goal: to become the first AI that can defeat top human e-sports players without cheating, as a milestone for the arrival of AGI
