Grok, the AI chatbot from Elon Musk's xAI, explained
Briefly

xAI launched Grok, a generative chatbot, in November 2023 to compete with existing AI models like OpenAI and Anthropic. It features an interface on Musk's social media platform, X, allowing users to ask questions with visible responses. Grok consists of a large language model with four iterations, the most recent, Grok-3, launched in February 2025 and includes advanced capabilities. Grok's training incorporates curated public data by AI tutors, ensuring quality and security in its responses, reflecting Musk's commitment to innovative AI development.
Musk has positioned Grok as a 'politically incorrect' alternative option to 'woke' chatbots, appealing to users who prefer less restricted AI interactions.
Grok is xAI's large language model, with four iterations: Grok-1 launched in 2023, Grok-1.5 in March 2024, Grok-2 in August 2024, and Grok-3 in February 2025.
The Grok chatbot, built on its own LLM, can be interacted with through X and is also available as a stand-alone app and website.
The Grok LLM is trained on public sources and data sets curated by 'AI tutors', a team dedicated to ensuring high-quality training data.
