In a bid to bolster his artificial intelligence (AI) enterprise, tech mogul Elon Musk issued an invitation on Saturday to aspiring individuals to become part of his pioneering initiative known as xAI. The venture, is actively seeking engineers, designers, and personnel for product development, data analytics, and infrastructure management.
At the heart of this burgeoning enterprise lies ‘Grok’, an AI-powered chatbot unveiled by the company.
Grok is a generative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by xAI, based on a large language model(LLM). It was developed as an initiative by Elon Musk as a direct response to the rise of OpenAI’s ChatGPT which Musk co-founded. The chatbot is advertised as “having a sense of humor” and direct access to Twitter (X).
Describing its mission, the company states, “We are a collective of AI researchers and engineers driven by the ambition to create AI systems that enhance humanity’s understanding of the world.”
To attract top-tier talent, the company offers an array of employee benefits, including competitive remuneration packages comprising cash and equity-based incentives, comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage, as well as unlimited paid time off, subject to prior approval. Moreover, xAI extends visa sponsorship for new recruits.
Established in 2023, xAI unveiled its inaugural AI product in November of the preceding year.
Meanwhile, the development of ‘Grok 2’, the next iteration of the AI chatbot, is currently underway. Musk expressed confidence that it will surpass all expectations upon its launch.
