The billionaire has unveiled his generative AI model with more personality than its rivals, in a challenge to Microsoft-backed OpenAI and Google.
Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence start-up, xAI, has released its first AI model, as the tech billionaire looks to take on OpenAI, Google and Meta with a sassy chatbot that is tightly integrated with X, formerly Twitter.
“It will also answer spicy questions that are rejected by most other AI systems,” xAI said as it announced a “very early” testing version of Grok. In September, its social media rival Meta announced it was launching nearly 30 AI chatbots across its Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp apps, including one AI assistant designed to answer user questions, and others based on the personas and likenesses of celebrities as an entertainment play.Mr Musk, who said last week that eventually “AI will be able to do everything” and render human work obsolete, formed xAI earlier this year.
xAI said Grok’s ability to respond to mathematical queries or demonstrate reasoning is similar to OpenAI’s GPT-3.5, the model that powered the initial version of ChatGPT when it launched last November. The start-up added that Grok passed a Hungarian high-school final maths exam with a grade C, matching Anthropic’s Claude model.However, xAI also admitted it is behind OpenAI, which in March released its latest GPT-4 model.
