There are several alternatives of AI generated content were introduced into the market. Grok if one among them. Let’s have a deep insight in to what exactly Grok is.

Introduction:
Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence business, xAI, has introduced the beta release of chatbot, which is known as Grok.
Grok has been introduced with an intent to alter current chatbot. It is designed as more sarcastic than the other chatbot.

What is Grok?
Grok is a Large Language Model (LLM) chatbot which is planned to be a more powerful and adaptable replacement for ChatGPT.
It’s the name of xAI’s new chatbot, which was just published in beta.
It is said that, there are multiple efforts involved in training Grok by collecting information from various resources to provide the users with accurate answers.
Grok has real-time access to information via xAI’s social networking platform, X, which offers it an advantage over other LLMs.

Grok’s platform is unique in its own way and provides various advantages in providing the real time content at ease.

Is Grok related to X in any other way?

Elon Musk also claimed that Grok will be included with X premium+, which will cost approximately $16 per month.

How can I obtain access to Grok?
As stated above that is Grok can be utilized by only X users and that too to a paid premium subscriber.
Grok is now under beta testing, but it will be available to the public in the near future. Grok is going to be a popular choice for users looking for a robust and versatile AI chatbot once it is introduced.
Even though the Grok is still in developing stage, it is already trained how to accomplish several jobs, including:

Grok is the best solution and platform for the one who is seeking for a powerful and versatile AI chatbot.
Till now we have seen some of the interesting facts and basics on Grok’s. Let see on the other side of Grok in a short.

1. Grok is an AI Assistant:
Initially Musk acquired a social network known as X (formally Twitter). He introduced the first product of that and named it a xAI. Latter it got reamed as Grok.
Grok is an AI assistant chatbot which is direct parallel to ChatGPT. It is an alternative for other AI chatbots and it stood as the best AI assistant when compared with other Chatbots.
A key difference among the chatbots made Grok as best is that, it has real-time access to information through xAI’s social media, X, and also provides up-to date & unique information to the users and generates answers to humour, spicy questions which other chatbots cannot.

2. Grok is Built on an upgraded LLM
Grok-0, the ancestor of Grok-1, is a large language model (LLM) with 33B parameters. Whether Grok-1 is also a 33B parameter model is not made clear.
Grok-1 boasts an 8k data token context window (around 6,000 words), which is twice as long as ChatGPT’s initial GPT-4 implementation.
Data “up to Q3 2023” was used to train the model, most likely referring to the end of June 2023 or soon after.

3. Grok is Better GPT-3.5 and Llama
You might have heard some of the widely used LLM’s such as
GPT-3, GPT-4 which are the products of Open AI
Llama
Claude
MATH, MMLU, GSM8k, and Humane Val.

Grok has been compared and went through various tests with the above platforms to finally provide a unique platform for the users.
X.ai says that Grok-0 effectively performs similarly to Llama while utilizing half the computer power.

4. Grok Supports the Super App Strategy
Musk is not the first to incorporate an AI assistant into a social media app. For the Meta AI assistants, Mark Zuckerberg revealed a similar strategy.
You can find various solutions by utilizing the efforts of Grok:
Some advanced users of an information portal like X would find value in a contextual search and answer chatbot.
X is mainly used as a discovery solution these days. That function is expanded by an information assistant to include a search engine.
An app that offers a helpful service or an assistant will probably encourage you to use it more frequently and for longer periods of time.
If the end goal is for X to become a Super App like WeChat was for the West, then an assistant could be a lifesaver for using the app and learning about all the features it offers.
Additionally, Grok provides a generative AI halo to Musk’s X, putting X.ai on the map.

5. Grok has a Personality
It depicts that xAI also differentiate with Grok with its personality. We all aware of Siri, google assistant, Alexa all made an effort to establish trust by adopting friendly and approachable personas.
Grok is taking a similar track, except they are promoting themselves as a better alternative.
Other Gen AI Assistants, such ChatGPT and Bard, don’t take a persona-oriented approach like Grok does. They try very hard to make you think of them as a faceless, emotionless assistant rather than a unique individual.
The Meta company is releasing AI Characters that mimic the personas of many well-known celebrities in addition to the persona-less Meta AI assistant that it has already disclosed.
