Grok 2 Vision
Grok 2 Vision (grok-2-vision-1212) is a multimodal language model developed by xAI and released in December 2024. It accepts combined image and text inputs and is designed to understand, analyze, and respond to visual content alongside natural language. The model supports images up to 20MiB in JPG, JPEG, or PNG format and can process inputs in any order. It also includes multilingual support and improved instruction-following compared to earlier Grok vision releases. Grok 2 Vision is suited for production use cases that require visual comprehension, such as image captioning, visual question answering, chart and document analysis, and building AI assistants that respond to visual inputs. It supports tool calling and structured outputs, making it straightforward to integrate into developer workflows. With a 32,768-token context window, it can handle moderately long conversations that mix text and image content.
