Elon Musk just announced that xAI’s ChatGPT competitor Grok is officially rolling out.
The first users will be U.S. X Premium+ subscribers.
Grok uses real-time data from X to source responses, apparently even scraping my posts for the latest AI news 😅

Wow!
Looks like Grok just scraped my entire thread I posted last night when asked ‘what is happening in AI today?’
At least this confirms it’s running on real-time Twitter data.

@LisaSu Researchers at Meta just released a new update to Codec Avatars building on 3D Gaussian Splatting to produce lifelike animated faces.
