IBL News | New York

Elon Musk-owned xAI released Grok-2 and Grok-2 mini in beta this week. Both models, with increased capabilities in chat, coding, and reasoning, were released to Grok users on the X platform. Later this month, xAI will make them available through enterprise API.

Grok-2 is a step forward from the previous model, Grok-1.5, and, according to the company, it outperforms Claude 3.5 Sonnet and GPT-4-Turbo.

“Grok-2 has shown significant improvements in reasoning with retrieved content and its tool use capabilities, such as correctly identifying missing information, reasoning through sequences of events, and discarding irrelevant posts,” said Musk’s AI company.

Grok-2 integrates real-time information from the x platform, and it’s accessible through the Grok tab in the x app.

Meanwhile, Grok-mini is a small sibling of Grok-2.
