Elon Musk Introduces AI Chatbot ‘Grok’
Elon Musk has unveiled his new AI tool called “Grok,” which can access X in real time and will be initially available to the top tier of subscribers of the social media platform.
Musk believes the link-up with X, formerly known as Twitter, is a massive advantage over other models of generative AI. “Grok” comes from “Stranger in a Strange Land,” a 1961 science fiction novel by Robert Heinlein, meaning to understand something thoroughly and intuitively.
As soon as it’s out of early beta, xAI’s Grok system will be available to all X Premium+ subscribers. The social network launched the Premium+ plan last week for $16 per month, with benefits like no ads.
Musk started xAI in July after hiring researchers from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Tesla, and the University of Toronto. OpenAI’s generative AI tool ChatGPT has been in fierce competition with tech giants Microsoft and Google, as well as Meta and start-ups like Anthropic and Stability AI.
Musk is one of the world’s few investors with deep enough pockets to compete with OpenAI, Google, or Meta on AI.
