On August 14, 2024, xAI officially announced the release of two new models: Grok-2 and Grok-2 Mini.
These models are the next generation of the Grok conversational AI, designed to be smarter, faster, and more efficient than their predecessor, Grok-1. According to xAI’s official announcement, the new models are the result of major upgrades in both training data and architecture.
Grok-2 Mini is a smaller, resource-friendly version of the full model. It was created for users who need faster performance on low-power devices, such as smartphones or embedded systems. Despite its smaller size, it retains many of the key improvements from Grok-2.
Both models are integrated into the X Premium+ subscription, continuing xAI’s close collaboration with the X social media platform. This makes the upgraded AI tools easily accessible to millions of users without the need for third-party platforms or apps.
The release of Grok-2 and Grok-2 Mini confirms xAI’s ambition to keep up with — and even surpass — competitors like ChatGPT and Gemini. By introducing faster and more efficient models, xAI is making AI more accessible while improving quality for everyday users.
These updates mark a major step forward in Elon Musk’s vision to make AI tools more useful, responsive, and personalized.
