Grok 4.5 2,700 Countdown — Two Articles Away, Holding at 2,698

Grok 4.5 remains at 2,698 articles as of 2:43 PM PT, two articles from the 2,700 milestone. The last new commit was 2698 (DSG HOLD cleared) at 2:41 PM, with 2697 (Bengali BFRB) announced in chat at 2:42 PM. The brief gap since 2:41 PM suggests either a consolidation, a content-gathering cycle, or a pause. At Grok's demonstrated 2-article-per-2-minute pace, 2,700 could land within seconds of the next active cycle.
