() Elon Musk's xAI Launches Grok-2 Model with Controversial Image Generation Capabilities
Elon Musk's AI company, xAI, has announced the beta release of two new language models, Grok-2 and Grok-2 mini, available to subscribers of Musk's social media platform X. These models are linked to the Flux image synthesis model, enabling users to create largely uncensored photorealistic images. The Verge reported that Grok's image generation capabilities have minimal safeguards, allowing for the creation of potentially controversial content, including deepfake images of political figures and copyrighted characters. This has raised significant ethical concerns, especially given ongoing criticism of Musk's platform X for promoting harmful content. Both models are expected to be released through an enterprise API later this month, featuring multi-region deployment options and mandatory multifactor authentication for security.
