What is Grok: A new AI from X.AI and Elon Musk that will be used in X
Although, the knowledge about Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology It has accompanied man for many decades, it was not until the XNUMXst century that it largely moved from theory to practice. Which remained as something reserved for experiments and developments in laboratories, universities and large technology centers. But precisely, during this current decade, it began to be better known and disseminated thanks to small practical and commercial developments, above all, applied to robotics and the development of applications in business fields.
But, the turning point of this technology was this year 2023 with the public and commercial launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT. After that, as stated in many of our publications on AI, there has been an explosion of varieties of AI and ways of applying them, on the most diverse devices, products and hardware and software tools. Being one of the last to appear Grok. Therefore, here in this small and interesting article we will tell you everything possible, that is known today, about «What is Grok", the new AI from X.AI and Elon Musk that will be used in X.
And if you are one of those who are not yet very aware of everything related to AI technologyIt is worth noting that it seeks to achieve the following:
La Human Intelligence process simulation by machines, especially computer systems. And therefore, among the processes that develop within it, are The learning, reasoning and autocorrect. Therefore, it is usually applied mainly in the use of sexpert systems, recognition voice and artificial vision, among others.

What is Grok?
Less than a month (04/11/2023) from his official and public announcement by X.AI on the Internet, on the Grok Artificial Intelligence, currently we can mention this Top 10 important points to know about it:
Basics
- It is a chatbot based on artificial intelligence developed by the company xAI.
- Grok is currently only accessible through the X platform (formerly Twitter).
- It is designed to provide answers to a wide range of user questions and queries in real time.
- His name "Grok" means intuitively understand completely and originates from the science fiction novel called Stranger in a Strange Land, by Robert A. Heinlein.
- It is designed to answer questions with a little wit and in a funny way it has a rebellious streak, that is, it usually uses a little sarcasm to respond with a very peculiar wit.
Technical and economic
- One of its main objectives is to be a AI tool for practical, everyday and universal use for any type of people, that is, of any origin and with the most varied political or other opinions.
- For more special and specific cases, it will also seek to serve as a powerful research assistant for anyone, helping them quickly access relevant information, process data and generate new ideas.
- For now, it will only be available to a limited number of users in the United States. Which will be able to test the current Grok prototype and provide valuable feedback to help improve its capabilities before a broader (global) launch.
- And only through a paid service, with a subscription price of $16 per month (premium + plan) that also eliminates any type of advertising, allows you to edit publications and gives full access to the suite of content creators.
- Finally, Grok, as the successor to the first announced X AI (xAI), which was very similar in power to the model LLaMA 2 (70B), but with a more efficient use of managed resources; Today, it has many significant improvements in reasoning and coding abilities. Therefore, it is considered a new next-generation language model (Grok-1) that is significantly more powerful.

Something significant, which is largely due to Elon Musk, is that he himself has promised that, Grok will have more “human” traits or personality, compared to other similar AIs in current competitions. Which will seek to ensure that it better adapts to the environment in which it will operate for a long time, that is, the social networking platform, and more in the future.
Furthermore, and as another strong point of Grok, your ability to understand and learn more deeply will be something that will stand out in it. And to do this, instead of relying solely on labeled data and predefined patterns, it will be able to contextualize the information in a way more similar to how a human being would do it. Which will allow you, adapt to new and complex situations in a more versatile and useful way, for the benefit of a wider variety of application fields.
In summary, now that you know a little more about «What is Grok?, then we have to, like many of us, wait for more informative and technical news about this AI. Which is one of the latest AI creations that have become known in this new and growing technological field.
However, let's hope that both Grok and many others already known and yet to be known, have not only very good commercial and technological success, but also a safe and balanced development plus better ethical and human use. Since, as many specialists in the field have seen, AI must be a very careful invention, when applied freely and openly in the midst of the current turbulent dynamics of humanity.
