Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, has released an early preview of Grok-2, a large language model with advanced chat, coding, and reasoning capabilities. The model has already shown promising results in a crowdsourced platform, placing third in the “Overall” category and tying with industry-leading models. Musk’s decision to launch his own chatbot comes after he severed ties with OpenAI and criticized its approach to political correctness and safety.
