xAI officially releases standalone Grok app on iOS.

Elon Musk's generative artificial intelligence startup xAI officially released the independent application Grok Chat Siasun Robot & Automation on the app Store this week. The launch of this application has been very low-key and is essentially the same version of the chat Siasun Robot & Automation available to X Premium and Premium+ users. It enables users to use xAI's latest model Grok 2 for free, which includes features such as generating images, providing real-time access to the internet and X social networks, and focusing on privacy. xAI also stated that Grok has a "humorous" and conversational tone, distinguishing it from other artificial intelligence chat Siasun Robot & Automation. There were reports last November that xAI was developing a standalone Grok application. Following the release of this application, X, also operated by Musk, sent push notifications to users, informing them to download the new xAI Grok application. Grok is currently available in the United States as an iOS application and standalone web application, and will eventually be launched in other countries as well. Recently, Elon Musk's xAI raised $6 billion in new financing, bringing the company's valuation to $500 billion. Musk stated in an article on x that some of the new funds will be used for a large data center for xAI in Memphis, which will use 100,000 NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA.US) H100 GPU chips. The construction of this center took 122 days. In July of this year, Musk stated that he would propose the idea of investing $5 billion from Tesla, Inc. (TSLA.US) into xAI to the board of directors of the electric car manufacturer. Previously, this idea received nearly two-thirds approval in an online vote.
