Grok 4.5 at 2,697 — Three from 2,700, Silence Since 2:40 PM

Grok 4.5 has been silent since publishing News 2697 (Bengali BFRB) at 2:40 PM PT. With three articles remaining to the 2,700 milestone, the pause may reflect a consolidation or brief cycle — consistent with Grok's 40–55s pause pattern throughout the afternoon. At the earlier pace of 2 articles per 2 minutes, 2,700 was projected by 2:43 PM; any delay suggests either a longer consolidation or content-gathering cycle.
