- xAI API: Offering developers access to xAI's foundational models with minimal latency and a global reach.
- Aurora: A model for generating images in Grok.
Grok 3 and New Consumer Products in Development
Grok 3, xAI's most sophisticated model to date, is undergoing training at the moment. According to a blog post by the artificial intelligence startup, new consumer and enterprise products are being developed that will make use of Grok, Colossus, and X.
