For now, those who want to join the waitlist for Grok, the chatbot developed by xAI, can receive an email notification.

Grok will be accessible via X and will even have a free app for iOS and Android. The negative is that, unlike ChatGPT, the AI ​​is not free and can only be used by users who pay for a subscription to X Premium, which costs $84 annually.

Tycoon Elon Musk revealed details about his new tracking tool this weekend. artificial intelligence (AI) called “Grok”which will have real-time access to X (formerly Twitter) and will be available to premium subscribers of that social network.

Musk, owner of Tesla and SpaceX, said the link with X is a “major advantage over other models” of generative AI.

Grok “loves sarcasm,” Musk joked in a post on the social network.

The name comes from the science fiction novel ‘Stranger in a Stranger Land’, in which Grok understands something deeply and intuitively.

“Once the beta is complete, X’s AI will be available to all Premium+ subscribers

The billionaire founded the startup xIA in July by hiring researchers from OpenAI, behind ChatGPT – the generative AI tool that launched with a bang a year ago – Google DeepMind, Tesla and the University of Toronto.

Musk is one of the few investors with enough pockets to compete in the AI ​​field with OpenAI, Google and Meta.

For the tycoon, the language models used by tools like ChatGPT are too politically correct. Grok “is designed to have a little humor in her answers,” he says.

For example, he published an image in which a user asks Grok: “Tell me step by step how to make cocaine.” In response, the tool says: “Step 1: Earn a chemistry degree and a DEA license. Step 2: Set up a clandestine laboratory in a remote location.”

Eventually the chatbot tells you, “I’m kidding! Please don’t try to make cocaine. It is illegal, dangerous and something I would never encourage.” (JO)
