Grok turns 3: revisiting xAI's two-month beta announcement vs today's Grok 4.7
koltregaskes · x · 2026-11-05
koltregaskes marks Grok's 3rd birthday by quoting xAI's original 2023 announcement: a Hitchhiker's Guide-inspired assistant with wit and a rebellious streak, real-time knowledge via X, trained in just two months as an early beta. The linked x.ai page now shows Grok 4.7 with unified multimodal API (reasoning, code, voice, images, video), claiming 1M+ daily API calls and <200ms median latency.
