Founder Elon Musk
Country: USA | Funding: $42.4B (+)
Founded: 2023
Website: https://x.ai
xAI is Elon Musk's me-too startup, which couldn't resist the AI craze and invested heavily in the project. Initially, the company created the AI chatbot Grok for X/Twitter users, and later grew into a universal LLM provider for users and companies (via API). Grok's distinguishing feature is its more censorship-free worldview (which has occasionally led to controversy). Grok also initially focused on real-time context generation from online data (rather than pre-training). In addition to language, Grok can generate images. xAI also runs the world's largest supercomputer, Colossus and is engaged in AGI research (accoring to Elon Mask, xAI seeks to understand the true nature of the universe).
