About

Grok is the AI assistant developed by xAI, Elon Musk's AI company founded in 2023, and distributed primarily through X (formerly Twitter). Grok launched in November 2023 as an X Premium perk, with the notable differentiator of real-time access to X posts and a less restricted, more direct conversational style. Grok 3, released in February 2025, achieved top scores on the AIME math reasoning benchmark and ARC-AGI test, briefly positioning xAI as a frontier model lab.
