xAI Announces Grok, Its First AI Assistant

xAI introduced Grok, its first AI assistant, roughly four months after the company was founded. Grok was built to draw on real-time knowledge from the X platform, the capability xAI positioned as its main advantage over rival assistants, and to answer with a deliberately irreverent tone. The model behind it, Grok-1, was developed in four months and scored 63.2% on the HumanEval coding benchmark and 73% on MMLU, ahead of every model in its compute class, GPT-3.5 included. xAI released it as an early beta to a limited group of users in the United States. xAI is a Parkway Venture Capital portfolio company; Parkway invested in its first large-scale fundraising the following year.
