xAI is Elon Musk's new AI start up.

Grok is an AI modeled after the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, so intended to answer almost anything and, far harder, even suggest what questions to ask!

Particularly noteworthy is its exceptional performance in standard machine learning benchmarks, where it surpassed contemporaries like ChatGPT-3.5 and Inflection-1, only falling short to models with significantly larger training datasets like GPT-4.

A custom training and inference stack built on Kubernetes, Rust, and JAX forms the backbone of Grok's infrastructure. The emphasis on Rust for its high performance, reliability, and bug prevention is a testament to xAI’s dedication to quality and innovation.

I don't know what to expect from these bots, except that since the creators think knowledge is the answer to everything, the bots end up having political/oracle personalities. What's wrong with a street-smart bot? Knows very little but experienced in surviving in the world.
