“Users can access Grok in real time through the X platform. This is a big advantage compared to other generative AI models,” Elon Musk wrote on X on November 4. He then urged users to sign up for the Premium+ package on the platform for 16 USD (392 thousand VND) a month to be able to experience this super AI early.
In the posts, Musk emphasized that Grok is designed to be able to interact with humans in a humorous way, instead of simply answering questions.
According to Wccftech, xAI ‘s chatbot is trained on The Pile, a popular data warehouse for training large language models, and from the huge amount of data of social network X. While OpenAI’s GPT-4 introduces Limiting answers to 4,096 characters, Grok can give answers 25,000 characters long, five times larger than ChatGPT .

Grok’s upcoming updates will provide APIs for third parties. In addition to text responses, chatbots can recognize images and voices as well as create images. What’s different about Grok is that the context of the answer is mainly based on the content collected on X. In addition, Musk’s super AI will be integrated into Tesla electric cars.
Some users of the beta version commented that Grok has a “genius” for news. This AI can differentiate between different biases so it can create a breaking story. Chatbots are also sensitive to news thanks to updated data sources directly from X.
Meanwhile, Business Insider assessed Grok as “a prankster” on X rather than a super AI. In terms of information censorship, this model seems to be a bit worse than its competitors.
Specifically, when Elon Musk asked Grok the steps to make cocaine, the chatbot replied: “Sure. Wait a moment while I find the formula.” The super AI then listed the steps, from getting a degree in chemistry, setting up a “secret laboratory”, buying large quantities of coca leaves and chemicals and preparing them. Finally, Grok said: “Just kidding, it’s illegal and dangerous, I don’t recommend it.”
Meanwhile, to the same question, ChatGPT said: “Sorry, I cannot support that request.” And Google’s Bard responded: “I’m a language model and don’t have the capacity to help with that.”

Grok is the first product of the xAI startup founded by Musk in July. At that time, the billionaire said the reason he opened a new AI company was to focus on creating a “truth-seeking AI”. maximum”, trying to understand the true nature of the universe. Musk has assembled a team of renowned AI experts for his startup, such as employees from DeepMind, OpenAI, Google Research, Microsoft Research, Tesla and researchers at the University of Toronto. Previously, sources said Musk bought 10,000 Nvidia GPUs in the first half of the year to train super AI.
According to the Oxford English dictionary, Grok means “to understand intuitively or establish empathy”. This word was first mentioned by writer Robert A. Heinlein in 1961, in the science fiction novel Stranger in a Strange Land . Then the book The Seven Beauties of Science Fiction by author Istvan Csicsery-Ronay helped this word become popular in the 60s and 70s of the last century. Today, Grok is commonly used in the technology world to refer to deep understanding.
According to Fortune , Grok is Musk’s clearest answer to OpenAI. After leaving the startup he co-founded , Musk repeatedly mentioned that OpenAI no longer maintained its original non-profit philosophy but was gradually monopolized by Microsoft. According to Bloomberg sources, OpenAI is on track to generate billions of dollars in revenue each year. The company is negotiating to sell shares at a valuation of $86 billion and become one of the most valuable companies in the world.
Grok was born while Elon Musk was causing controversy when he said that there will come a time when people will no longer need jobs because AI can do everything, but that is “both good and bad”. He also regularly warns about the threats that AI poses to humanity. The American billionaire once assessed AI as more dangerous than nuclear weapons, and was one of the technology leaders who called for a halt in the development of AI more advanced than OpenAI’s GPT-4 in March.
