Hub AI in practice

Artificial Intelligence is present in everyday life – from “googling” to facial recognition to vacuum cleaner robots. AI tools are becoming more and more elaborate and support people and companies more effectively in their tasks, such as generating graphics, texting or coding, or interpreting large amounts of data.

What AI tools are there, how do they work, how do they help in our everyday world – and how do they change our lives? These are the questions we address in our Content Hub Artificial Intelligence in Practice.

Elon Musk's AI startup xAI has released an API interface for its Grok language model. So far, the API only includes the "grok-beta" model. It is unclear which version of Grok is behind it. It is priced at $5 per million input tokens or $15 per million output tokens. This makes the model significantly more expensive than, for example, GPT-4o ($2.5 input, $10 output per million input tokens). Grok-2 is xAI's flagship model and is already being used for various functions on Musk's social media platform X, including image generation and news summaries. In the future, it will also power search, user profiles and analytics. With the API, xAI aims to catch up with competitors such as OpenAI and Anthropic. The startup raised $6 billion in May and plans to train its models with data from Musk's other companies, such as Tesla and SpaceX.

Google is making major changes to its organizational structure. Prabhakar Raghavan, who previously ran Google Search, will take on a new role as chief technologist. This move is likely a step-down for Raghavan, as Google's search business has come under increasing criticism lately, despite continued strong performance. The team behind Google's Gemini AI app will now become part of Google DeepMind, led by CEO Demis Hassabis. Meanwhile, the Google Assistant team will be integrated into the Platforms and Devices division. These shifts appear aimed at accelerating Google's AI innovation efforts. They may also be preparing the company for a potential breakup by the U.S. government, which views Google's search engine as a monopoly.
