Figures are computed from base-salary ranges xAI discloses directly on its live job postings tracked by ForgeApply (as of 2026-07-14). For each posting we take the midpoint of the disclosed range, then report the median and 25th–75th percentile band. Postings without disclosed pay are excluded. This is marketplace data about current openings — base salary only, not total compensation, and not an estimate of any individual offer.
