🌌 Musk reveals GrokAI as OpenAI competitor

Our Report: Elon Musk has introduced Grok, his own version of an AI chatbot with the objective of "understanding the universe”. This is the same objective as the supercomputer from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (heads up, the answer is 42).

🔑 Key Points:

• Musk, who has previously voiced concerns about AI as a threat to humanity, announced that Grok would be available for premium subscribers on the X platform after its testing phase, and has real-time access to content published on X.

• An example shared by Musk highlighted Grok’s humor with a mock "step-by-step" guide to producing cocaine, ending with a warning against the action (it seems like a more playful and less inhibited version of ChatGPT).

• xAI’s staff credits The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy as the inspiration behind Grok's design, aiming to answer questions with humor and a touch of rebellion (don’t try asking it about the answer to life, the universe, and everything).

• Grok is built on Grok-1, an LLM that has outperformed GPT-3.5 in certain aspects (middle school math problems), though it still trails behind the capabilities of GPT-4. You can grab your early access to the model here.

🤨 Why you should care: Grok's unique character suggests a new direction in AI chatbot personalities, hopefully catalyzing an era of innovation where some top AI chatbots have unique characters as well as incredible capabilities.

🇨🇳 China to build advanced humanoid robots by 2027

The Chinese government has released plans detailing the country’s ambitions to lead the global market in humanoid robotics by 2025, including breakthroughs in the “brain, cerebellum, and limbs” of robots…

Also, by 2027, they also want to improve the technological/innovative capabilities of humanoid robots—earmarking them as a new engine for economic growth (China’s expected market share in the global humanoid robot market is forecasted to be worth $51.4B by 2030).

🍎 Tim Cook confirms investments in generative AI

Tim Cook (Apple’s CEO for those unacquainted), affirmed the company's deep investment in AI, stating the following, rather ambiguously, when asked about AI “But you can bet that we’re investing, we’re investing quite a bit, we’re going to do it responsibly”

This comes after he revealed Apple's development of generative AI, spotlighting its pivotal role in new iOS 17 features like Personal Voice and Live Voicemail. Do you think Apple can compete with the likes of Microsoft, Anthropic & Google on the global stage of AI?

The bilingual model outperforms larger pre-trained models despite its smaller size (even outcompeting much larger models in a recent Hugging Face LLM leaderboard). They’ve also managed to secure swift funding, and top talent from Google, TensorFlow & Microsoft…
