Grok vs. Llama 3.1

LLM Comparison


Grok

Grok

Overview

Grok is a mixture-of-experts model offered by xAI.


Grok is the flagship language model of xAI, the AI company founded by Elon Musk with close ties to X.com (FKA Twitter). Grok-1 was initialized released late in 2023 and later open-sourced in March of 2024. On March 28, 2024, Grok-1.5 was released with significantly better performance and a context length of 128,000 tokens.


Initial release: 2023-11-05

Llama 3.1

Llama 3.1

Overview

Llama 3.1 added a 405B flagship model that was the first open-source model competitive with frontier proprietary models, alongside updated 8B and 70B variants with longer context and improved tool use.


Llama 3.1 was a landmark release for open-source AI. The 405B model achieved parity with GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet on many benchmarks, marking the first time an open model reached the proprietary frontier. All models support a 128K token context window, multilingual generation in eight languages, and built-in tool-calling capabilities. The permissive license allows commercial use for most organisations, making Llama 3.1 a popular foundation for fine-tuning and self-hosted deployments.


Initial release: 2024-07-23
