Recently, xAI announced a major upgrade to its Grok AI chatbot, promising significant enhancements in performance, even claiming it can compete with Sonnet3.5, particularly in prompt-following capabilities. The upgraded Grok-2 is now available for free to all X platform users, with paid users benefiting from higher usage limits and additional features. According to xAI, Grok-2 is three times faster than its predecessor and has also seen notable improvements in accuracy and language support.

Musk's social media platform X (formerly Twitter) has made adjustments to address the issue of misinformation related to the 2024 presidential election, particularly targeting its AI system Grok to guide users to official information sources like vote.gov for the latest election updates. Several Secretaries of State in the U.S. have expressed concerns about Grok's errors in handling election-related matters, pointing out that it may lead to confusion and demanding corrections. Grok mistakenly claimed that the ballot deadlines in certain states had passed after President Biden announced his withdrawal from the race, causing widespread concern.
