Grok
xAI's large language model, developed by Elon Musk's AI company, designed with a focus on real-time information access and a less restrictive content policy than competing models.
Grok was launched in November 2023 and is available to X (formerly Twitter) premium subscribers. Grok-3, released in February 2025, was the first publicly known model trained with more than 10^26 FLOP, placing it among the most compute-intensive models ever built. xAI raised $13.8 billion in funding, one of the largest AI fundraises ever. The company built a 100,000-GPU cluster in Memphis, Tennessee, in under 122 days to power Grok's training. Grok differentiates itself through integration with X's real-time data firehose.
