🚨 BREAKING: Overnight, Elon Musk and xAI revealed their ChatGPT competitor, Grōk.

Here's everything we know so far: Image
Grok has real-time access to info on 𝕏.

This is a huge advantage over other models that can only access info based on the time they were trained.

Given that 𝕏 is the best place for breaking news, Grok could be huge for getting breaking news with clear and unbiased insight. Image
Unlike other chatbots, Grok has humor in its responses.

I suspect this move is geared towards Elon's vision of 'WokeGPT'. Image
As per Elon, Grok will be available to all X Premium+ subscribers once it's fully out of beta.

Definitely worth the upgrade.
More details on Grok (h/t @BrianRoemmele):

-25,000 char. context window
-Screen refresh response speed
-“Live” search engine focuses on X for context
-API, Image recognition, and Audio recognition is planned
-A version of Grok will run “native” in Tesla using local compute power
In my (completely biased) opinion, X/Twitter is the best platform in the world, especially for news and valuable insights.

If Grok "knows" anyone's X posts, it will be so intelligent, that it might just make every other chatbot sound dumb.

Grok is a serious ChatGPT competitor.
I'll be breaking down future updates and thoughts in my upcoming newsletter.

More info just came in:

Grok will only be available to X's new Premium Plus plan.

Even if you have a verified account right now, you have to upgrade.

(Prices in my screenshot are from iOS in CAD, it's cheaper if you use Web + USD)

Image
The full official announcement for Grok just dropped.

Scroll to the bottom and apply for early access ASAP (currently only available to limited users in the US).

Meta just announced a ton of new AI announcements across Meta AI, Llama, Ray-Bans, and more.

Here’s everything important announced live from here @ Meta Connect:

1. Meta AI is getting its own voice mode!

2. Meta AI can now ‘see’ images!

Similar to ChatGPT, you can now share photos and have Meta AI reply to any photo in chat.

But where Meta is going a step further is by allowing users to actually edit photos, like removing an object, adding a hat, or changing backgrounds, etc., all within the chat.

Rolling out in the US only for now (unlike voice mode, which is rolling out to US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand over the next month)Image
3. Meta is rolling out experimental AI features for Reels, including automatic video dubbing and lip-syncing allowing anyone to create content across any language.

Hat tip to MrBeast. Image
