Introducing X's Grok: A New Rival to OpenAI ChatGPT and Google Bard 12
X has recently unveiled its latest offering, Grok, as a competitor to OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google Bard 12. This new chatbot, available exclusively to Premium+ subscribers, is designed to provide real-time responses based on queries, utilizing data directly from the X platform.
The development of Grok comes from xAI, an artificial intelligence venture founded by Elon Musk in July 2023. While currently accessible to users in the U.S., plans are in place for a global expansion in the near future. However, not all Premium+ subscribers in the U.S. have immediate access to Grok, with priority given to longer-term members during the initial rollout phase.
According to a post by X on Twitter, all users can expect to have access to Grok by the end of the upcoming week. The chatbot can be found in the side menu on the web, iOS, and Android platforms, providing easy access for users who wish to leverage its capabilities.
Grok operates as a conversational chatbot, leveraging real-time information from the X platform to generate responses. Similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Bard, and Anthropic's Claude, Grok relies on real-time news data sourced from X posts and is powered by a large language model named Grok-1.
Insights and Comparisons
Bindu Reddy, CEO of Abacus.AI, emphasizes the importance of real-time data and its potential impact, highlighting a comparison between Grok and Bard. While Grok focuses on current events such as the launch of Google Gemini and Alibaba's video AI advancements, Bard provides insights on IBM Quantum progress and Android's AI developments.
X, formerly Twitter, has a history of delivering real-time information to users, with Google being an early adopter by integrating Twitter results into mobile searches back in 2015.
As Grok continues to evolve and enhance its capabilities, users can expect a seamless experience when seeking real-time responses and insights on a variety of topics.
