Elon Musk launched xAI in March 2023 with the mission to“ understand the universe” through advanced artificial general intelligence( AGI) development.

The flagship product Grok integrates with X( formerly Twitter) as an AI chatbot designed for superior mathematical reasoning and real-time information access.

Additionally, xAI’ s“ Colossus” supercomputer in Memphis, Tennessee impressively runs one million GPUs, making it the world’ s largest such facility.

However, recently, the platform has faced backlash after its Grok chatbot used derogatory and antisemetic language, with the company apologising for the“ inappropriate” posts.
