Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup xAI will release its first AI model to a select group on Saturday, the billionaire and Tesla\u00a0CEO\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0on Friday.<\/p>\n

This comes nearly a year after OpenAI’s ChatGPT caught the imagination of businesses and users around the world, spurring a surge in adoption of generative AI technology.<\/p>\n

Musk co-founded OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, in 2015 but stepped down from the company’s board in 2018.<\/p>\n

“In some important respects, it (xAI’s new model) is the best that currently exists,” he posted on his X social media platform.<\/p>\n

“As soon as it\u2019s out of early beta, xAI’s Grok system will be available to all X Premium+ subscribers,” Musk posted.<\/p>\n

X, formerly known as Twitter, rolled out two new subscription plans last week, a $16 per month\u00a0Premium+ tier<\/a>\u00a0for users willing to pay for an ad-free experience and a basic tier priced at $3 per month.<\/p>\n

The billionaire, who has been critical of Big Tech’s AI efforts and what he calls censorship, said earlier this year he would launch a maximum truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe to rival Google’s\u00a0Bard and Microsoft’s\u00a0Bing AI.<\/p>\n

The team behind xAI, which launched in July, comes from Google’s DeepMind, the Windows parent, and other top AI research firms.<\/p>\n

Although X and xAI are separate, the companies work closely together. xAI also works with Tesla and other companies.<\/p>\n

Larry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle\u00a0and a self-described close friend of Musk, said in September that xAI had signed a contract to train its AI model on Oracle’s cloud.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
