Grok, a generative AI chatbot, was created as a response to the increasing popularity of ChatGPT, a product of OpenAI, which Musk co-founded. Grok, which is based on a large language model, has the ability to process a broad range of visual information, including documents, diagrams, charts, screenshots, and photographs, in addition to its robust text capabilities.
xAI’s Grok-1.5V, the first-generation multimodal model, was introduced in April. The company has emphasized Grok’s ability to understand the physical world, with the AI model reportedly outperforming its competitors in the RealWorldQA benchmark, a measure of real-world spatial understanding.

In response to a query about another collaborator, Musk replied “SMC” – an acronym for Super Micro Computer, a server manufacturer based in San Francisco.
Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ) has confirmed its partnership with xAI to Reuters.
Earlier in June, xAI announced plans to construct a supercomputer, termed the “Gigafactory of Compute,” anticipated to be operational by fall 2025, in collaboration with Oracle (NYSE). This project aims to enhance the capabilities of the Grok AI chatbot.
