The latest version of xAI’s Grok can process images

xAI, the OpenAI competitor founded by Elon Musk, has introduced the first version of Grok that can process visual information. Grok-1.5V is the company's first-generation multimodal AI model, which cannot only process text, but also "documents, diagrams, charts, screenshots and photographs." In xAI's announcement, it gave a few samples of how its capabilities can be used in the real world. You can, for instance, show it a photo of a flow chart and ask Grok to translate it into Python code, get it to write a story based on a drawing and even have it explain a meme you can't understand. Hey, not everyone can keep up with everything the internet spits out. 

The new version comes just a couple of weeks after the company unveiled Grok-1.5. That model was designed to be better at coding and math than its predecessor, as well as to be able to process longer contexts so that it can check data from more sources to better understand certain inquiries. xAI said its early testers and existing users will soon be able to enjoy Grok-1.5V's capabilities, though it didn't give an exact timeline for its rollout. 

In addition to introducing Grok-1.5V, the company has also released a benchmark dataset it's calling RealWorldQA. You can use any of RealWorldQA's 700 images to evaluate AI models: Each item comes with questions and answers you can easily verify, but which may stump multimodal models like Grok. xAI claimed its technology received the highest score when the company tested it with RealWorldQA against competitors, such as OpenAI's GPT-4V and Google Gemini Pro 1.5.

Elago Snapshot Apple AirPods Case with AirTag

Called the Snapshot case for the AirPods Pro, this adorable-looking has a cute camera-shaped design that includes an AirTag inside the faux camera lens. The little case looks like a small point-and-shoot that protects precious AirPods Pro from any kind of physical damage and theft. Since it has an all-silicone design, this absorbs shock, while still supporting wireless charging.

3. Apple MagSafe Grip Stand

The Apple MagSafe Grip Stand is inspired by the Japanese art of paper folding, and this handy accessory can fold flat without the hassle of assembly and disassembly. The grip stand is quite thin and aptly sized like a card, so you can attach it to your phone in no time. It also lets you slip your phone into your pocket without the fear of snagging! It is a nifty and convenient little accessory for your iPhone!

4. Ergonband

This unique Apple Watch accessory looks quite unusual, and the band looks more like a strap, or one of those hand braces used by athletes. The Apple Watch is locked in place using clips, that use standard lugs and is placed below the joint of your thumb. This location ensures that the screen is always visible without you having to twist your wrist. It is an innovative ergonomic design that works well for sports.

5. RSTR Case

Called the RSTR Case, this case for your Apple Watch Ultra is designed by Golden Concept. It has a stunning transparent crystalline design that converts your mundane Apple Watch into a lovely shimmering jewel that you can wear proudly on your wrist and show off.

6. Colorware Apple Number 2 Pencil

The Colorware Apple Number 2 Pencil gives a fun makeover to Apple’s current stylus! Quite interestingly, it takes modification to a whole new level. It looks like the Number 2 or HB pencil, featuring a glossy yellow body, orange eraser, and silver band which connects the different parts. In fact, even the tip of the pencil is black, much like a typical graphite pencil, truly celebrating the everyday pencil, while giving the stylus a new look.

7. Belkin iPhone Mount with MagSafe

Meet the new Belkin iPhone Mount with MagSafe which harmoniously converts the iPhone into a webcam for the Apple 4K TV. You can fix the versatile mount to your TV, and it lets you utilize your iPhone’s rear camera for FaceTime or Zoom calls. If you don’t want to use it as a TV mount, you can fold it up, and use it as an iPhone stand in landscape or portrait mode on a table or wall, using a magnetic attachment.

8. The (Re)Classic Band

The (Re)Classic Band for Apple Watch is a cruelty-free Italian leather-inspired band. The band is made using repurposed mycelium, which is essentially fungal threads that span long distances underground, from which mushrooms blossom and grow out. It is one of the many all-natural resources utilized in the synthesis of Yatay by Coronet.

9. 2-in-1 Wireless Charger Concept

Meet the 15W MagSafe compatible iPhone 15 charger concept which can be laid down, or positioned in an alternate orientation, letting you set up your iPhone in portrait mode for productivity. The alternate pad of the charger can be used to charge your earbuds, or even your Apple Watch, while it is laid down. At the moment, this charger is still a concept, however, we would love to see it as a tangible design someday.

10. Neck Power Bank

Named the Neck Power Bank, this power bank for your Apple Vision Pro has the familiar horseshoe shape of a neck pillow or one of those neck-worn air conditioners you see. It features a refreshing and ergonomic design, equipped with a flexible center frame, which makes unfolding it and wearing it comfortably around your neck quite easy to do.
