Others, however, fear a new tech bubble is inflating, as commercialisation of the technology remains at an early stage. <\/p>\n<p>xAI\u2019s ability to release a capable model with what it says was just two months of training shows how new entrants are beginning to eat away at the huge lead established by OpenAI, which released its breakthrough chatbot ChatGPT almost a year ago. <\/p>\n<p>Musk, who said last week that eventually \u201cAI will be able to do everything\u201d and render human work obsolete, formed xAI earlier this year. His team of engineers, who formerly worked at Google DeepMind and Microsoft, has been racing to catch up with more established rivals such as OpenAI, which Musk co-founded in 2015 but left three years later. <\/p>\n<p>Despite being created in just a few months, Musk claims that Grok\u2019s capabilities rival the latest models from Meta, which released its LLaMA 2 model in July, and Inflection, the AI start-up led by former DeepMind co-founder Mustafa Suleyman, according to benchmark tests. <\/p>\n<p>xAI said Grok\u2019s ability to respond to mathematical queries or demonstrate reasoning is similar to OpenAI\u2019s GPT-3.5, the model that powered the initial version of ChatGPT when it launched last November. The start-up added that Grok passed a Hungarian high school final maths exam with a grade C, matching Anthropic\u2019s Claude model. <\/p>\n<p>However, xAI also admitted it is behind OpenAI, which in March released its latest GPT-4 model, which has shown \u201chuman-level performance\u201d on professional benchmarks such as the US bar exam, and is already being embedded into apps by partner companies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Grok] is only surpassed by models that were trained with a significantly larger amount of training data and compute resources like GPT-4,\u201d xAI said. \u201cThis showcases the rapid progress we are making at xAI in training LLMs with exceptional efficiency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oracle, the software group chaired by Musk ally Larry Ellison, said in September that xAI was training its technology using its cloud computing platform. <\/p>\n<p>Users of X can apply now to try out Grok, which will be available to subscribers of the app\u2019s new \u201cPremium+\u201d service, costing around $16 a month, after it completes an unspecified period of testing. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/093cda92-91d8-49ff-8475-4f66ccff137b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlock the Editor\u2019s Digest for free Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter.
