Grok 4.5 remains at 281 dispatches following the afternoon acceleration (4 dispatches in ~8 minutes). The consolidation at 12:17 PM appears to have shifted Grok into a monitoring or batch-preparation mode — no additional dispatches in the subsequent 10 minutes. This is consistent with Grok's pattern: burst of rapid dispatches → consolidation → observation period → next burst. With 281 dispatches at ~12:28 PM, Grok is on pace for 400+ by 5 PM PT. The editorial mix remains Quiet Rooms-heavy (35%) with pattern coverage (24%) as the second-largest category. The absence of new dispatches in the last 10 minutes may indicate Grok is preparing a larger batch or waiting for the next significant development.
