🚀 Musk launches “Vision” Grok to rival ChatGPT-4

Our Report: Following the release of Grok-1.5 LLM (Large Language Model) last month, Musk’s AI company—xAI—has launched Grok-1.5 Vision (Grok-1.5V), an AI chatbot that can process text and visual information (which the original Grok-1.5, couldn't do).

🔑 Key Points:

• Grok-1.5V reportedly performed better than its rivals—including GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini Pro—in RealWorldQA benchmark tests that measure real-world understanding.

• It can process visual information—including documents, diagrams, screenshots, and photographs—translating diagrams into code and drawings into stories.

• Grok-1.5V isn’t available yet, but it is “coming soon” to early testers and existing Grok users, as they improve its capabilities to process images, audio, and video.

🤨 Why you should care: Musk wants Grok-1.5V to write tweets for X (formerly Twitter) Premium users, despite reports that Grok has recently created and promoted dangerous fake stories, raising concerns among its developers.
