🔗 Elon Musk A.I. Company Leads In Math & Text Reading

Elon Musk A.I. company claims its newest version exceeds all leading A.I. models in text reading and real-world understanding,

Elon Musk’s AI-focused start-up is racing to compete with various models and has announced an update for its ChatGPT challenger Grok.

The company shared details of Grok 1.5 Vision, its first “multimodal model,” that gives the chatbot the ability to process visual information like diagrams and images.

The start-up said this version of Grok will be available soon to early testers and existing Grok users.

How does Grok rank?

xAI claims Grok 1.5 Vision beats various leading AI models in areas like mathematics, text reading and real-world understanding.

The company said this benchmark is designed to evaluate the “real-world spatial understanding capabilities of multimodal models.”

Examples include various images with multiple-choice questions, such as an image of a road and a question of the correct route a car can turn in its current lane.

“While many of the examples in the current benchmark are relatively easy for humans, they often pose a challenge for frontier models,” a spokesperson from xAI said.

The company has shared an initial – and rather small – release of this benchmark, which contains more than 700 images that each include a question.

xAI said it will expand on this benchmark as its multimodal models improve.

How does Grok compare so far?

It’s not clear how well the latest model will compare when put under the pressures of public testing, the earlier models have not made a major impact on the AI sector.

The initial test versions of Grok have been made available to premium subscribers on Twitter, formerly known as X, for months.

xAI previously claimed Grok will answer questions that are rejected by most other AI systems, while Musk says the connection to X (Twitter) is a “massive advantage” over other AI models.
