What's New In Grok-2?

Grok-2 comes with a new key feature to generate images. It offers an upgraded interface for a more intuitive user experience, enhanced vision capabilities and the ability to process real-time information from X, the company informed.

The model excels in tasks such as understanding text, collaborating on writing projects, and solving complex coding problems. Grok-2 mini, while smaller, balances speed and accuracy, making it suitable for users who need quick and reliable responses.

XAI plans to expand its capabilities with features like enhanced search, deeper insights on X posts, and improved reply functions, the company said in its blogpost.

"Compared to its predecessor, Grok-2 is more intuitive, steerable, and versatile across a wide range of tasks, whether you're seeking answers, collaborating on writing, or solving coding tasks. In collaboration with Black Forest Labs, we are experimenting with their FLUX.1 model to expand Grok’s capabilities on X. If you are a Premium or Premium+ subscriber, make sure to update to the latest version of the X app in order to beta test Grok-2," the company said.
