Publishing timestamp: 2023-11-05 11:31:00
Summary
Elon Musk's new AI venture, xAI, has launched its first AI chatbot named Grok. Grok is currently in its prototype phase and is being trained for two months before a wider release. It is positioned to compete with other AI companies like OpenAI, Inflection, and Anthropic. Grok is described as having wit and a rebellious streak, and it aims to answer "spicy questions" that other AI might avoid. Users can sign up for a waitlist to test out the bot, and eventually, it will be a feature of X Premium+ for a monthly fee. Musk believes that Grok surpasses other models in its compute class in certain areas. The term "grok" comes from a science fiction novel and means to understand profoundly and intuitively. xAI's mission is to create AI for people of all backgrounds and political views, testing this approach with Grok.
