Gm. Another day, another AI chatbot. This got me thinking: how often do you all use AI? I personally use it almost every day for help summarizing articles, but maybe thereβs other things Iβm missing out on. Please let me know!

Enter Grok

5 years after he left OpenAI, Elon is back in the AI game.
And, for that, he can thank X. Wait, the company formerly known as Twitter? Or xAI, his AI company?
Yes. Just yes.
xAI now has an AI chatbot, Grok, and its big selling point is that it has access to real-time information from X.
The model powering Grok is known as Grok-1, and it is pretty powerful. The only models that beat it are the giants: Palm 2, Claude 2, and GPT-4:

Considering that theyβve only been developing Grok for 4 months now, those results are pretty damn impressive.
Of course, no model is perfect. There is always the possibility of it spewing fake news. To combat this, xAI is planning to implement:
Scalable oversight with tool assistance. Basically, AI and humans team up to make sure the chatbot isnβt tweaking.
A process for giving Grok the ability to reason deeply about the world.
Methods for Grok to discover and retrieve information.
Defenses against various vulnerabilities and attacks.
Multimodal capabilities (i.e., vision and audio).
All that stuff is cool, but this is Elon weβre talking about here, so of course thereβs more. In this case, the more is that Grok has a sense of humor. Observe:

Now we just need a way to adjust that like TARS and CASE in Interstellar.
Pay Up: If you want to use Grok without waiting on the waitlist, youβre going to have to fork over $16/mo for X Premium+.
