Elon Musk recently offered a glimpse of xAI’s first product. He shared a screenshot of xAI’s initial offering Grok, which seems to be a chatbot similar to OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Musk mentioned that xAI’s Grok system is designed to incorporate humor in its responses. He also stated that once it’s out of the early beta phase, xAI’s Grok system will be available to all X Premium+ subscribers.

Grok, as the name suggests, is designed to intuitively understand and empathise with users, establishing rapport while also providing an enjoyable experience. This AI system joins the ranks of interactive chat platforms, bringing a unique touch of empathy and understanding to user interactions.

This development follows Elon Musk’s recent announcement on X, where he stated that xAI is set to release its first AI to a select group. According to Musk, this AI model is currently the best in some important respects.

On July 12th of this year, Musk revealed the creation of X.AI, a company focused on the development of AI-powered technology. While early projections hinted at a swift release of their inaugural product, the timeline stretched out a bit longer than initially expected.

As previously mentioned and the website reads, xAI’s mission statement is to “understand reality”, which is possibly to build an alternative to OpenAI’s woke chatbot, ChatGPT, as Musk calls it. Musk had been planning to build a rival since the beginning of the year and the formation of his AI company was planning to build just that.

The acquisition of Twitter, which is now X, was also just a step towards building Musk’s AI lab. He has hinted many times before that he would be using the data from the social media platform to train the AI model. This is probably why he claims that it would be the best AI model that currently exists.
