Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company, xAI, is developing a formidable competitor to ChatGPT, known as Grok. The prototype of Grok is currently accessible to a limited number of users in the United States, and you can join the waiting list with your X account.
Musk unveiled the details of Grok, the ChatGPT rival, on November 4. According to the information shared by Elon Musk, Grok has the capability to access real-time data on the X platform, providing it with a distinct advantage compared to other models. Following the completion of the early-stage beta version of Grok, xAI plans to make it available to X Premium+ subscribers for a monthly fee of $16. Notably, Grok, as mentioned by Elon Musk, incorporates humorous expressions in its responses, setting it apart from ChatGPT.
Grok-1, as per xAI's provided information, has been trained with 33 billion parameters. This initial model exhibits capabilities closely resembling those of LLaMA 2 (70B), a model produced in collaboration with Meta and Microsoft. However, Grok-1 utilizes only half of the resources used for LLaMA 2's training. Grok-1 achieved a success rate of 63.2% in the HumanEval Python code completion task and 73% in the MMLU, which presents multidisciplinary multiple-choice questions. Moreover, as indicated in the table below, Grok-1 outperforms other models in its computation class, including ChatGPT-3.5 and Inflection-1, which encompass tasks like MATH and GSM8k. In addition to these assessments, the xAI team evaluated Grok-1, Claude-2, and GPT-4 in the 2023 Hungary National High School Mathematics Finals, with Grok achieving a C grade at 59%, Claude-2 at 55%, and GPT-4 at 68%.
The engineering approach of xAI is highlighted in the shared blog post. The team created a dedicated training and inference stack for Grok using Kubernetes, Rust, and JAX technologies. Future plans include equipping Grok with multimodal capabilities, including visual and auditory perception, while also focusing on understanding and retrieving long-context data as part of their research endeavors.
The Grok prototype is currently available to a limited number of users in the United States, and possession of a verified X account is a prerequisite for harnessing its potential.
