Grok

Grok is an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot and research assistant developed by Elon Musk’s company, xAI. It is designed to respond to users’ text prompts with a blend of humor and sarcasm. The chatbot is inspired by the science fiction comedy “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” and is powered by xAI’s frontier large language model (LLM), named Grok-1. Elon Musk introduced Grok as a new conversational AI chatbot that humorously responds to user interactions. It represents xAI’s first tech prototype and a new generative AI product. Grok AI stands out for its ability to answer a broad range of questions with a witty and rebellious nature, differentiating it from other AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Google Bard.
