Grok 2 Vision (Dec 2024)
Grok 2 Vision (December 2024) extends xAI's Grok 2 with image understanding, combining the base language model's text capabilities with a visual encoder. Like its text-only sibling, the 1212 tag identifies this as a frozen snapshot pinned to December 2024 weights, ensuring stable behavior for vision-enabled applications.
The model accepts image-and-text prompts, enabling tasks such as visual question answering, image description, and chart interpretation. It occupies xAI's multimodal tier alongside the text-only Grok 2 and is aimed at developers building reproducible products on the xAI API that require both language and vision capabilities.
