Overview
xAI is an American artificial intelligence company founded by Elon Musk in 2023 with the stated goal of building models that help humans understand the universe. It develops the Grok family of large language models, distributes them through a consumer assistant, a developer API and deep integration with the X social platform, and adds image and video generation through Grok Imagine. The company runs its own Colossus supercomputer clusters in Memphis, Tennessee, is headquartered in Palo Alto, California, and merged with X Corp in 2025 to combine model development with a large consumer distribution channel.
