So this has nothing to do with `Grok`, the model provided by x.ai? EDIT: Tried using it, very impressed with the speed.

- Alifatisk 3y agoIf it wasn't for your comment, I would've thought this was by Twitter.
- tome 3y agoYeah, it's nothing to do with Elon and we (Groq) had the name first. It's a natural choice of name for something in the field of AI because of the connections to the hacker ethos, but we have the trademark and Elon doesn't. https://wow.groq.com/hey-elon-its-time-to-cease-de-grok/ https://wow.groq.com/hey-elon-its-time-to-cease-de-grok/
- terhechte 3y agoCan't Chamath (he's one of your investors, right), do a thing there? Every person I pitch Groq to is confused and thinks its about Elons unspectacular LLM.
- tome 3y agoYeah the confusion has happened a lot to me too. All I know is that it's in the hands of our legal team.
- fragmede 3y agoI mean it sucks that Elon went and claimed Grok when you want Groq, plus you were there first, but getting stuck on the name seems like it's going to be a distraction, so why not choose something different? When Grok eventually makes the news for some negative thing, so you really want that erroneously associated with your product? Do you really want to pick a fight with the billionaire that owns Twitter, is that a core competency of the company?
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 3y agoThere's also a children's toy named Grok which uses LLMs to talk to the kid.
