Improved version of chatbot to be launched by Musk’s xAI
On Thursday, xAI, Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup, announced plans to release an upgraded version of its chatbot Grok.
The new version, called Grok-1.5, will be available in the coming days to early testers and existing Grok users on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, XAI said in a statement.
The startup said one of the most significant improvements in the new version is its performance in coding and math.
Seeking an alternative to Microsoft-backed OpenAI and Alphabet’s Google, Musk launched xAI last year to create “ultimate truth-seeking AI.”
In December, the startup released Grokin X to Premium subscribers.
Earlier this month, Musk said XAI would open-source Grok, days after the billionaire sued OpenAI for allegedly abandoning its original mission in favor of a for-profit model.
