    • Improved performance

    • Knowledge window updated to April 2023

    • 3x cheaper for developers

3.Additional updates:

  • A new Assistants API helps build customizable goal-driven AI apps, with fine-tuning expanded to GPT-4 and custom models available.

Elon Musk unveiled Grok, a ā€˜witty and rebelliousā€™ AI chatbot created by xAI, trained in just a two-month period.

Grok is designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak ā€” basically with both ā€˜normalā€™ and ā€˜funā€™ modes.

Grok can engage in conversations about current events by accessing real-time posts on X. It will be available to all X Premium+ subscribers once it successfully completes the beta testing phase.

āš”ļøInsights:

A fun project to anticipate from Elon Musk? Or another experiment/element he is trying to build inside the enormous X puzzle? The fact that Grok was trained in just two months shows that xAI will surely be a competitive threat to OpenAI.

On the side, the crypto market has been buzzing with excitement with Grok Coin gaining massive traction since the launch from xAI.
