Elon Musk has announced that Grok 2 could go live in August and Grok 3 could be available by the end of this year. The announcement comes after the successful rollout of the Grok 1.5 chatbot. Grok 2 is expected to be a huge improvement, backed by advanced AI features. These dates are tentative and subject to change.
There is a lot of work that goes into developing an AI model. Musk asserted that datasets are essential for AI chatbots, and numerous challenges arise during the model’s training process. It takes a lot of work to purge LLMs from Internet training data; he stated while hinting that upcoming versions will be a huge improvement on the datasets.
A total of two features are likely to stand out for Grok 2 – Q&A and image generation.
Grok 2 aims to answer every possible question with real-time knowledge of the world. Iron Man’s Jarvis and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy inspire the model. Suffice it to say that Elon Musk is working to make fiction a reality with the resources at his disposal. If he succeeds, it would be impressive, as that would be a benchmark for future AI developments.

xAI is working to integrate image generation into Grok and leverage web search results. Currently, xAI is working on training its models, which have already established a standard in the industry. This includes but is not limited to, HumanEval and MATH.
Dell Technologies could soon support every AI-related model that Elon Musk is bringing to the market. According to its CEO, Michael Dell, the company is collaborating with Nvidia to build an AI factory. Dell said that it will work to power Grok’s generative AI capabilities for Musk’s xAI.
It is only safe to say that a lot is yet to come in the AI sphere. The race is still on between giants like Google, Microsoft, and xAI. Almost every project aims to bring out the best of real-time data capabilities to ensure that conversations are more human-like, informative, and productive. There are areas that AI ventures are looking to secure, like data and privacy.
One recent update in the AI market pertains to OpenAI acquiring Rockset with the objective of integrating real-time data capabilities to improve the efficiency and intelligence of its applications. OpenAI has essentially integrated Rockset’s data indexing and querying technologies into its AI infrastructure. This acquisition is part of OpenAI’s mission to improve its real-time data capabilities. In his statement, Brad Lightcap even hinted at this.
