I would certainly find it hard to believe that Musk is no longer interested in frontier models.
I have to assume that anyone participating in the frontier AI race at this point, is basically planning for the day when they will control the world, though they may have backup plans involving coalitions too.
For example, as you indicate, Musk is still training his own new frontier model, while joining forces with Anthropic via compute, and sandbagging OpenAI in court. I can’t tell if he has any plans to do something about Gemini or if Google is simply too big for him to oppose, and he has to settle for competing with them (which is how OpenAI started).
