Matthew Berman reports that the mystery model called sus-column-r was an early Grok-2 and reads xAI's announcement of Grok-2 and Grok-2 mini. He also discusses the use of Black Forest Labs' FLUX.1 image model on X. The short clip ends as he mentions uncensored output; availability and licensing differ among FLUX variants.

  1. 1The mystery modelBerman says sus-column-r was Grok-2, matching xAI's beta announcement.
  2. 2Two Grok modelsThe announcement describes Grok-2 and a smaller Grok-2 mini; the stated performance is xAI's release-era assessment.
  3. 3FLUX.1 on XxAI described a collaboration with Black Forest Labs. Berman calls the model completely open source, but FLUX.1 variants have different license terms.

핵심 정리

  1. xAI identified the early sus-column-r leaderboard model as Grok-2 in its August 2024 beta announcement.
  2. Grok-2 mini was introduced as a smaller sibling to Grok-2.
  3. xAI said it was experimenting with Black Forest Labs' FLUX.1 for image generation on X.
  4. FLUX.1 variants have different licenses: schnell is Apache 2.0, while dev is available under non-commercial terms.

Grok-2 and FLUX.1

Berman reads the beta announcement and identifies its leaderboard alias. He discusses the FLUX.1 image model and its availability.

We now know that the mystery model sus-column-r was an early version of Grok-2. xAI announced the Grok-2 beta on August 13, 2024, describing improvements in chat, coding and reasoning. It also introduced Grok-2 mini as a smaller sibling.

The announcement says xAI was experimenting with Black Forest Labs' FLUX.1 text-to-image model to expand Grok's capabilities on X. I describe the model as completely open source and accessible to anyone. The variants differ: FLUX.1 schnell is available under Apache 2.0, while FLUX.1 dev uses non-commercial licensing, so the same permissions do not apply to every variant.

I welcome a competitive image model with available weights and begin to discuss uncensored output. The clip cuts off at that point; it does not establish a detailed account of moderation or unrestricted use.
