Grok, the AI model developed by Elon Musk’s xAI business, now includes a new image understanding feature.
This feature, which was revealed this morning via X’s official channels, enables premium users to upload photographs and interact with the chatbot for in-depth analysis. Grok can now decipher image content and even explain hilarious features thanks to the most recent version. Musk said that this feature is still in its infancy but will eventually become better.
The most recent improvement from xAI expands upon the Grok-2 upgrade from August, which introduced image production capabilities fueled by the FLUX. 1 model from Black Forest Labs.
In a different tweet, Musk stated that although this capacity is still in its infancy, it should advance quickly as technology advances. The billionaire also made a suggestion that Grok would have the ability to analyze documents in addition to comprehending images.
xAI was founded in March 2023 with the intention of going up against well-known firms like Anthropic and OpenAI. When the first Grok model was released in November 2023, it outperformed GPT-3.5 but fell short of GPT-4’s capabilities.
In the face of intense competition from models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Google’s Gemini, xAI has worked to improve its products with each iteration, including the most recent Grok-2 version.
Despite presenting itself as a formidable competitor in the AI chatbot space, Grok has come under fire for restricting access to the AI chatbot to X Premium subscribers, a strategy that has led to the platform’s declining user base.
