Start for freexAI Releases Grock 2
One of the biggest AI stories this week was the release of Grock 2 by xAI. Grock is the large language model built into Twitter for premium members. According to xAI, Grock 2 outperformed Claude 3.5, Sonet, and GPT-4 Turbo in benchmark tests.
Some key features of Grock 2 include:
- Upcoming image recognition capabilities
- Coding abilities
