California: Elon Musk’s social media enterprise is set to enhance user experience by integrating an AI chatbot that will provide succinct summaries of news events. This innovative feature, named “Stories,” is designed to cater exclusively to the platform’s premium subscribers, as confirmed by Musk in a recent Bloomberg interview.
“Stories” will leverage the capabilities of the Grok AI chatbot, a product of Musk’s xAI company, to deliver real-time, AI-generated news briefs. These summaries will dynamically evolve, incorporating new data as it surfaces to ensure users receive the most current information. Musk emphasized that while the content will draw from user posts on the platform, access to “Stories” will be a privilege reserved for X Premium subscribers.
Grok AI, which operates under the umbrella of xAI, utilizes a sophisticated AI model that also powers the chatbot feature now accessible to all premium users—a significant expansion from its initial market release last year.
In a move towards transparency and collaboration, xAI has made Grok’s technology openly available to the developer and research community. The company’s blog post announced the release of “the weights and architecture of our 314 billion parameter Mixture-of-Experts model, Grok-1,” signaling a commitment to open-source development.
The Grok-1 model, described as a “314 billion parameter Mixture-of-Experts model,” was meticulously developed by xAI. The Grok AI chatbot’s intelligence is derived from analyzing the myriad of posts shared by users on the X platform.
Expanding its global footprint, xAI introduced Grok to India and an additional 46 countries last year, including notable markets like Australia, Canada, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Singapore.
The integration of AI into mobile technology continues to accelerate, with companies like Google embedding their Gemini AI into various applications, including the widely-used Chrome browser. This trend underscores the growing reliance on AI’s rapid data processing capabilities to enhance digital experiences.
