Grok, with a "k," was initially coined to mean a thorough understanding of a subject. It is also the name of Elon Musk's chatbot from his xAI company. Groq, with a "q," is the name of an AI chip company, which has nothing to do with Musk's chatbot.
Groq owns the trademark for the term with the "q" spelling, and in 2023, the company sent xAI a cease-and-desist request to stop using the name because of the confusion. Thus far, Musk has not renamed his chatbot, and although Groq owns the trademark, Musk owns the world. Stay tuned! See
