March 28 Reuters Elon Musk39;s artificial intelligence startup xAI said on Thursday it will launch an enhanced version of its chatbot Grok.

The new version, called Grok1.5, will be made available to early testers and existing Grok users on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, in the coming days, xAI said in a statement.

The startup said one of the most notable improvements in the new version is its performance in coding and mathrelated tasks.

Seeking an alternative to Microsoftbacked OpenAI and Alphabet39;s Google, Musk launched xAI last year to create what he said would be a maximum truthseeking AI.

In December, the startup rolled out Grok for Premium subscribers of X.

Earlier this month, Musk said xAI would opensource Grok, days after the billionaire had sued OpenAI for allegedly abandoning its original mission in favor of a forprofit model.
