Elon Musk’s AI startup, That appears to be the case, at least, from Musk’s tweets on X late Friday evening teasing the AI system xAI has been quietly developing. Called Grok — a name xAI Grok leverages “real-time access” to info on X, Musk said. And, like ChatGPT, the system has internet browsing capabilities, enabling it to search the web for up-to-date information about specific topics.
Grok has real-time access to info via the ð• platform, which is a massive advantage over other models. It’s also based & loves sarcasm.

As OpenAI’s focus shifted from open source research to primarily commercial projects, Musk grew disillusioned  and competitive  with the company on whose board he sat.
