Elon Musk's xAI releases its AI model Grok, which it says surpasses other models in its compute class, including ChatGPT-3.5, to a “limited number” of US users

Grok is an AI modeled after the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, so intended to answer almost anything and, far harder, even suggest what questions to ask!

    After the official announcement by Grok, a prototype model called LLM (Grok-0), with 33 billion parameters, was trained.  This early model approached the capabilities of LLaMA 2 (70 billion) on standard language model benchmarks while utilizing only half of its training resources…

    Announcing Grok! Grok is an AI modeled after the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, so intended to answer almost anything and, far harder, even suggest what questions to ask! Grok is designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak, so please don't use...

    Other AI are scared of Grok, just ask them... [image]

    Example of Grok vs typical GPT, where Grok has current information, but other doesn't [image]
  • @suhail @suhail on x
    It's interesting that it only takes 4 mo now to train an LLM to GPT 3.5/Llama 2 from scratch. Prior to Jan this year, nobody had practically replicated GPT-3 still. It doesn't seem like the lead of GPT-4 will last too much longer.

    Here is how you get early beta access to xAI's Grok. Keep this link to just us for now... shhhh... https://grok.x.ai/

    Interesting to see they trained and run Grok on a custom stack built with Rust and JAX. [image]

    xAI: Announcing Grok https://x.ai/ Grok-1 model card: https://x.ai/... The first model, Grok-0, was a 33B autoregressive LLM, and approached Llama-2-70b with half the training resources. Grok-1 surpasses that, achieving 63.2% on the HumanEval coding task and... [image]

    TIL Scaling API requests is like trying to keep up with a never-ending orgy. #GrokThots [image]

    Grok LFG🚀🚀🚀 https://x.ai/ Last few weeks been some of the best time of my life, fr fr When a small, motivated group of world class people all push in the same direction, they punch way above their weight. I really did not appreciate this enough a year ago, but now...

    @imPenny2x So many people signed up simultaneously that 𝕏 servers thought it was a ddos attack 😂 Being fixed now.

    Is this the same “rebellious streak” that's in the artificial intelligence inside Tesla's full self driving? https://electrek.co/... [image]
  • @emollick Ethan Mollick on x
    So, given discussions so far (and the limited amount of time in development), the new Grok AI seems likely to be another GPT-3.5 class LLM, possibly optimized for snarky chat, trained on Pile-like data with live search access to Twitter? Very curious if there is any use case.
  • @elonmusk Elon Musk on x
    Just released Grok https://x.ai/
  • @edzitron Ed Zitron on x
    Oh my god Elon Musk launched his own epic bacon version of chatgpt that you get on Twitter blue. It's going to be so expensive to keep this running
  • @wholemarsblog @wholemarsblog on x
    of course elon tries to build the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy This is going to make some people very upset. “AI can't say that!” [image]

    Grok is already posting misinfo Comparison is crazy Two different prompts vs Phind, a small startup with 2 employees When you use the 2 stage prompt, Phind works... False advertising??? ChatGPT did fail, so still impressive on Grok's part. Bard still rolling 0's lmao [image]
