About
Grok 2 is xAI’s next model family after Grok-1.5, introduced with Grok-2 and the smaller Grok-2 mini for frontier-style chat, coding, and reasoning. On X, the beta models add stronger text and vision understanding and integrate real-time platform information; xAI also announced enterprise API access. Hugging Face hosts Grok 2 post-trained weights for self-hosted serving (for example with SGLang).
