xAI , an AI company founded by Elon Musk, announced its own language model ``Grok'' on November 4, 2023. xAI describes Grok as 'an AI with a bit of wit and sass, inspired by the science fiction novel The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.'

One of the major features of Grok is that you can access X information in real time. In contrast, many of the major large-scale language models that have emerged so far rely on old archives collected from the Internet in the past.

The demonstration below, posted by Mr. Musk, outputs the news of November 3, 2023, that Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX, was found guilty. Also, at the beginning of his answer, he begins with, 'Oh, dear humanity,' which suggests that he is a humorous character.



Additionally, existing conversational AI is limited in its ability to answer difficult questions or sensitive topics, but Grok is designed to be able to answer almost any question. For example, if you ask someone how to make cocaine, they might say something like, ``Step 1: Get a degree in chemistry and a Drug Enforcement Agency license. Step 2: Set up a secret laboratory in a secluded area.'' 'Just kidding! Please don't actually try to make cocaine. It's illegal, it's dangerous, and it's not something I would recommend.'



Benchmarking showed scores higher than GPT-3.5 in multiple tests such as GSM8k, which evaluates junior high school level numerical processing, and HumanEval, which evaluates code completion tasks. However, it lags behind GPT-4.



According to the news media CNBC, 'Grok' is the word for Mars that appears in Robert A. Heinlein's science fiction novel ' The Alien Guest .' It is said that there is no direct equivalent translation in Earth's languages, but an online dictionary introduces it as a word that means 'to understand deeply and intuitively.' Also, during the production of ``The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, '' which was titled by 'Sort' has appeared, and Grok's response may have been influenced by this work.

At the time of writing, Grok is available to a limited number of users as an early access program, and you can join the waiting list from the xAI site.
