xAI unveils Grok-2 to challenge the AI hierarchy
a major upgrade that boasts improved capabilities in chat, coding, and reasoning
Alongside Grok-2, xAI has introduced Grok-2 mini, a smaller but capable version of the main model. Both are currently in beta on X and will be made available through xAI’s enterprise API later this month. An early version of Grok-2 was tested on the LMSYS leaderboard under the pseudonym “sus-column-r”.
At the time of the announcement, xAI claims it is outperforming both Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet and OpenAI’s GPT-4-Turbo. However, it’s worth noting that GPT-4o currently holds the top spot as the best AI assistant in terms of overall capabilities, followed by Google’s Gemini 1.5.
