Grok-2 gets a speed bump after developers rewrite code in three days
The two developers responsible are Lianmin Zheng and Saeed Maleki, according to Babuschkin's post, and they relied on open source SGLang.
Now, both versions of Grok-2 — Grok-2 and Grok-2 mini, the latter designed to be less powerful but faster — have both increased the speed at which they can analyze information and output responses, after two developers at xAI rewrite the inference code stack completely in the last three days. SGLang’s ability to optimize execution through automatic cache reuse and parallelism within a single program makes it a powerful tool for developers working with large-scale language models. However, Babuschkin pledged that xAI wwould further improve the processing speed of Grok-2-mini, which could make it an even more attractive option for users seeking high performance with lower computational overhead.
