Data indicates that the Grok-2 and Grok-Mini models from the xAI team have officially made it onto the LMSys chatbot Arena leaderboard. Grok-2 has notably secured the second place, outperforming OpenAI's GPT-4o (May) and tying with the latest Gemini model, supported by over 6,000 community members' enthusiastic votes.
It's worth noting that Grok-2 excels particularly in mathematical tasks, claiming the top spot in that category, and has also secured second place in several other tasks, including complex prompts, programming, and following instructions. In contrast, Grok-2-Mini entered the rankings at fifth place, demonstrating its notable capabilities.
Grok-2-Mini has also seen a significant speed boost, now operating at twice the previous speed. This leap in improvement stems from xAI's inference team, who completely rewrote the inference stack, utilizing SGLang for more efficient multi-host inference and enhanced precision. Additionally, the team introduced new computational and communication kernel algorithms, as well as improved batch scheduling and quantization techniques, further elevating the model's overall performance.
Although some remain skeptical about Grok-2's performance, believing OpenAI's GPT-4o to be superior, many users in practice have reported that Grok-2 indeed performs exceptionally well in programming and mathematical tasks. The Grok-2 series models were released this month as a beta version, and users can also experience them on the X platform. Furthermore, the model supports image creation using the FLUX.1 image generation model.
