Part 2/12:
One of the most striking aspects of XAI's journey is its astonishing development speed. Unlike traditional AI companies that space out their major releases over years, XAI has adopted an aggressive "release every few months" strategy.
Grok 1 launched in November 2023, marking their entry into conversational AI.
Grok 1.5 followed in May 2024, with a 128,000-token context window and enhanced reasoning.
Grok 2 appeared just three months later, in August 2024, transforming the model with breakthroughs in coding, reasoning, and vision—capable of generating images and short videos, and even outperforming GPT-4 Turbo on some benchmarks.
