Elon Musk’s xAI to Release Grok 2 Next Month, Grok 3 in December
Elon Musk’s xAI Unveils Grok 2 and Grok 3, Igniting Excitement in the AI World
In a recent conversation with renowned psychologist and author Jordan Peterson, Elon Musk, the visionary entrepreneur and CEO of UBOS, unveiled exciting updates about his AI company xAI’s upcoming models, Grok 2 and Grok 3. The generative AI world is abuzz with anticipation as Musk shared insights into the development and capabilities of these cutting-edge models.
Grok 2: Approaching GPT-4’s Prowess
According to Musk, Grok 2, the latest iteration of xAI’s AI model, is slated for release next month. Trained on an impressive 15,000 GPUs and leveraging the powerful H100 hardware, Grok 2 is expected to be on par or close to the capabilities of GPT-4, the current state-of-the-art language model from OpenAI.
“Grok 2 should be on par or close to GPT-4,” Musk stated, fueling excitement among AI enthusiasts and researchers alike.
Grok 3: The Most Powerful AI on the Horizon
But that’s not all – Musk also revealed that xAI is currently training Grok 3 at their Memphis data center, with completion expected in three to four months, followed by fine-tuning and bug fixing. According to Musk, Grok 3 is poised to become the most powerful AI model to date.
“We’re hoping to release Grok 3 by December, and Grok 3 should be the most powerful AI,” Musk declared, setting the stage for a potential paradigm shift in the AI landscape.
Addressing Concerns and Catching Up
During the conversation, Peterson raised concerns about the potential biases present in Grok, noting that while it’s not as “woke” as ChatGPT, it still exhibits deviations. Musk acknowledged that xAI, being a relatively new company just over a year old, has a lot of catching up to do compared to more established players in the industry.
“I do want to emphasize that X is a fairly new company. It is just a little over a year old, so we have a lot of catching up to do to companies that have been around for five or 10 or 20 years,” Musk explained.
Interestingly, when asked about leveraging Tesla’s vast trove of real-world video data for training Grok, Musk revealed that they haven’t yet applied this data to the model, hinting at potential future integrations.
Dell and NVIDIA Powering Grok’s Development
In a significant development, Michael Dell, CEO and Chairman of Dell Technologies, recently announced on X (formerly Twitter) that the company is building the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA GPUs to power Grok’s training and development.
The Future of AI: Embracing Innovation and Addressing Challenges
As the AI landscape continues to evolve at a rapid pace, Elon Musk’s xAI is positioning itself as a major player, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with prompt engineering and generative AI models. With Grok 2 and Grok 3 on the horizon, the industry is eagerly anticipating the potential breakthroughs and innovations these models may bring.
However, as with any transformative technology, concerns about biases, ethical implications, and responsible development must be addressed. Musk’s acknowledgment of the challenges faced by a relatively new company like xAI highlights the need for continuous improvement, collaboration, and a commitment to responsible AI development.
As we eagerly await the release of Grok 2 and Grok 3, the AI community is poised to witness a new era of innovation and progress, fueled by the relentless pursuit of knowledge and the boundless potential of artificial intelligence. Stay tuned for more updates and insights from UBOS as we navigate this exciting journey together.
