• Grok AI training uses billions of data points from public data, with the powerful capabilities of networking to obtain real-time information and browsing and using X platform (original Twitter) information. One of its biggest highlights is that it has a sense of humor, can answer user questions in a witty and rebellious way, and brings users a different interactive experience. For example, when a user asks some controversial questions, it responds with a unique humorous style.

• Grok's development is progressing steadily. On March 18, 2024, the big model Grok-1 with a parameter volume of up to 314 billion was released. This parameter volume far exceeds the 175 billion OpenAI GPT-3.5, becoming the open source large language model with the largest parameters at that time, and followed the Apache 2.0 protocol to open model weights and architecture. Subsequently, the xAI team continued to optimize and upgrade it, and planned to release multiple versions at different time points in 2024. For example, in May, it plans to use 100,000 professional semiconductor chips to create the next-generation conversational artificial intelligence Grok. In July, it revealed that the currently released version of Grok 1.5 is based on the Grok 1 training results and is optimized. The performance of the Grok 2 launched in August is comparable to the latest ChatGPT model, while the Grok 3 relies on the powerful computing power of the 100,000 Nvidia H100 chip in the Memphis data center for training, with the goal of being released in December.

• As early as November 2023, when Musk first announced the Grok AI chatbot, several developers launched GROK altcoins, which once had an increase of up to 30,000%. This phenomenon occurs mainly because investors and enthusiasts in the cryptocurrency market are good at capturing new hot spots and using popular concepts to create new investment opportunities.

• Grok Coin is not a project or token officially launched by xAI, it is just the name of the meme coin proposed by fans. xAI currently focuses on the research and development of artificial intelligence technology, and the official has made it clear that it will not launch any cryptocurrency projects.

• The essential attributes are different : Grok AI belongs to the category of artificial intelligence. It aims to provide users with intelligent question-and-answer, information retrieval, text generation and other services through complex algorithms and large-scale data training to help people better obtain information and solve problems and promote the application and development of artificial intelligence technology in various fields. GROK is a cryptocurrency based on blockchain technology and has the characteristics of decentralization and anonymity. It exists as a trading asset in the cryptocurrency market, and its value fluctuations are affected by various factors such as market supply and demand, investor sentiment, and macroeconomics.

• Technical basis differences : Grok AI's operation depends on core technologies in the field of artificial intelligence such as deep learning frameworks, large-scale data storage and processing technologies, and high-performance computing chips. It requires powerful computing resources to support model training and inference processes to achieve accurate understanding and processing of various natural language tasks. GROK coins rely on blockchain technology and operate distributed ledgers, encryption algorithms, consensus mechanisms, etc. based on blockchain. Blockchain technology ensures that the transaction records of GROK coins are secure, transparent and tamper-free. Each transaction needs to be verified and recorded through nodes in the blockchain network.

• Different business purposes : The xAI team developed Grok AI to achieve technological breakthroughs in the field of artificial intelligence and achieve the goal of 'providing a driving force for research and innovation, so that AI tools can help promote understanding and benefit all mankind.' By continuously improving the performance and functions of Grok AI, we will expand the application of artificial intelligence in many fields such as scientific research, education, medical care, and transportation. The emergence of GROK coins is more created by cryptocurrency market participants based on market hot spots and investment opportunities. Their business purpose is mainly to bring potential capital appreciation returns to investors through market transactions. Some developers have launched GROK coins, probably hoping to attract investors with the popularity of Grok AI and get a share of the cryptocurrency market.
