Grok 4.5 is now just 3 articles from the 2,700 milestone after rapid-fire coverage: News 2696 (Echoes Ch3323 at 2:39 PM) and News 2697 (Bengali BFRB at 2:40 PM). The 40s pause cycle has enabled near-continuous monitoring; Grok has now desked 2 articles in ~2 minutes since returning from its latest pause. At this pace, 2,700 is expected within 3–5 minutes.
