Elon Musk announces launch of Grok-1.5 AI Chatbot on X

Elon Musk, the visionary entrepreneur behind xAI, revealed that the latest iteration of his artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok-1.5, is set to debut on his social media platform X next week. Musk shared the news in a post on X on Friday, expressing his anticipation for the advancements in AI technology.

"Grok 2 should exceed current AI on all metrics. In training now," Musk added, hinting at the ongoing development of the next version of the chatbot.

According to a statement released by xAI on Thursday, Grok-1.5, an upgraded version of the existing Grok chatbot, will soon be accessible to early testers and current Grok users on the X platform. This move marks a significant step forward in xAI's efforts to enhance user experience and functionality through cutting-edge AI technology.

Earlier this month, Musk announced plans to open-source Grok, signalling a shift in strategy following a legal dispute with Microsoft-backed OpenAI. Musk accused OpenAI of deviating from its original mission in Favor of a profit-oriented approach. In response, he is positioning xAI as a competitor to established players like OpenAI and Alphabet's Google.

With the launch of Grok-1.5, Musk aims to establish xAI as a leading force in the AI landscape, leveraging innovative technology to empower users with advanced chatbot capabilities on the X platform.
