xAI: Grok 2 Vision 1212

xAI: Grok 2 Vision 1212, created on December 14, 2024, demonstrates strong overall performance, particularly in its operational efficiency. The model performs among the fastest models, ranking in the top tier for speed (72nd percentile across 7 benchmarks). It offers competitive pricing, with moderate costs (20th percentile across 7 benchmarks). Notably, Grok 2 Vision 1212 exhibits exceptional reliability, achieving a 100% success rate across all benchmarks, indicating minimal technical failures. In terms of specific capabilities, the model shows robust performance in several key areas. It achieves high accuracy in General Knowledge (99.0%), Ethics (99.0%), and Email Classification (99.0%), placing it in the 66th, 51st, and 79th percentiles respectively. Its Instruction Following (67.0% accuracy, 75th percentile) and Coding (91.0% accuracy, 75th percentile) capabilities are also strong. While its Hallucinations accuracy is respectable at 96.0%, its Reasoning performance (58.0% accuracy, 42nd percentile) is a relative weakness. The model's enhanced steerability and reasoning, as highlighted in its description, are foundational for next-generation image solutions, and its strong visual comprehension and refined instruction-following are evident in its benchmark results.
