Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI may soon take the next step in competing with OpenAI. According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, xAI plans to launch a standalone application as early as December, which will support its Grok chatbot and could directly compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT.

Musk founded xAI with the intention of replacing OpenAI— the company he helped establish but eventually distanced himself from due to ideological differences. Now, xAI is planning to further expand its influence by launching a standalone application for Grok to capture the artificial intelligence assistant market.

Grok, Musk, xAI

Currently, users can access Grok through the social platform X, provided they subscribe to the service. Reports indicate that xAI also offers customer support features for Musk's other company, SpaceX's Starlink, further showcasing its diverse applications in technology and services.

Compared to competitors like OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, and Anthropic's Claude, which have already launched their standalone applications and offer free products, xAI's Grok stands out. If xAI's Grok application is released as scheduled and successfully attracts users, it will significantly enhance its competitiveness in the AI field and may provide users with more innovative experiences.

At present, xAI has not responded to this report, but with the launch of the Grok application, Musk's AI venture is undoubtedly entering a new stage of development, and market and user interest will continue to grow.
