Elon Musk's xAI has launched Grok-2 and Grok-2 mini – two new models of its Grok chatbot with upgraded performance and new image-generation capabilities.
The image-generator, powered by Black Forest Lab's Flux 1 AI model, is superior to both Claude and GPT-4 overall in Elo score – the rating that measures performance in zero-sum games, like chess and tennis –, according to xAI.
Primarily, the tool allows users to generate and publish images directly to the X.
According to xAI, Grok-2 and Grok-2 mini are available in beta on X – limited to Premium and Premium Plus subscribers. Both models will be available through the AI developer’s enterprise API later this month, it said.
"We are excited to release an early preview of Grok-2, a significant step forward from our previous model Grok-1.5, featuring frontier capabilities in chat, coding, and reasoning," xAI said in its announcement, as it described the latest tools as "more intuitive, steerable, and versatile" than its predecessor.
Some early examples produced by Grok's new image-generator include fake images of former US presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama in rather unlikely settings.
The images showed Trump and Obama shooting guns and taking illegal drugs – though none of the images were flagged as AI-generated.
