Elon Musk&#8217;s artificial intelligence company, xAI, is testing a standalone Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) iOS app&nbsp;for its chatbot, Grok.
Grok was now available only to users of Musk-owned X (formerly Twitter Inc).
The app can access real-time data from the web and X and offers generative AI features like rewriting text&nbsp;and generating images&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://apps.apple.com/au/app/grok/id6670324846" rel="noreferrer noopener">from text prompts</a>.

xAI is also preparing a site, Grok.com, to make the chatbot accessible on the web, TechCrunch <a target="_blank" href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/22/xai-is-testing-a-standalone-ios-app-for-its-grok-chatbot/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Grok was previously available only to X&#8217;s paying subscribers. In November, the company&nbsp;started testing a free chatbot version and rolled it out to&nbsp;all users earlier this month.
The company&#8217;s chatbot image generator model allows users to create images using pictures of public figures and copyrighted material.
xAI has reportedly reached a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/42235738/in-just-16-months-elon-musk-achieved-with-xai-what-took-openai-nearly-nine-years-to-accomplish" rel="noreferrer noopener">$50 billion valuation</a> just 16 months after its July 2023 founding, surpassing the billionaire&#8217;s spending on acquiring Twitter.
OpenAI, one of the most recognized names in artificial intelligence, took over nine years to reach its current valuation of $157 billion.
Reportedly, xAI is rapidly gaining momentum in the competitive AI market, now valued higher than rivals like Anthropic, worth $19 billion, and Perplexity, valued at $2.8 billion.
xAI achieved significant milestones by securing $5 billion in its latest funding round to acquire 100,000 Nvidia chips.
These chips will drive the Memphis supercomputer, a facility built to advance the company&#8217;s AI capabilities and bolster Tesla&#8217;s Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology.

Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) and Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) show strong fundamentals, but the trader community remains hesitant about their potential to outperform <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42535162/hyperliquid-emerges-as-ethereum-solana-rival-heres-how-high-hype-could-go">other trending cryptocurrencies</a>.
What Happened: Shibburn data shows 6.02 million SHIB tokens burned in the past 24 hours, driving the burn rate up by 661.7%. 
Key transactions included burns of 3.5 million and 2.3 million SHIB, signaling increased on-chain activity.
Shibarium&#8217;s December 2024 update <a href="https://x.com/Shibizens/status/1870792229461074044">highlights</a> the network undergoing a mainnet upgrade.
Among the milestones achieved, it crossed 688 million transactions, peaked to all time high in new total value locked and a maintained 4 million daily transactions volume.
The recent integration with Chainlink is expected to enhance cross-chain functionality, boost on-chain activity and accelerate SHIB burns.
On the Dogecoin front, crypto analyst Ali Martinez highlighted historical patterns where DOGE experienced parabolic rallies after significant retracements. 
For example, DOGE surged thousands of percent following pullbacks in 2017 and 2021. 
In 2024, after a 440% rally and 46% retracement, another explosive move <a href="https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1871097660888813871">could</a> be on the horizon.

Trader Notes: Altcoin Sherpa sees meme coins performing well but doubts their ability to outperform other crypto assets in the latter half of the market cycle. 
While Dogecoin's brand recognition and Elon Musk's involvement make it unique, Sherpa argues that smaller-cap meme tokens like Pepe (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">PEPE</a>) and Dogwifhat (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">WIF</a>) might outpace larger-cap memes.
He also <a href="https://x.com/AltcoinSherpa/status/1870504266781302822">suggests</a> big-cap meme coins will likely remain dependent on broader market movements, with a significant rally in Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) potentially lifting memes.
Sherpa concluded that while recognizable tokens like Shiba Inu, Floki (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">FLOKI</a>), and Dogwifhat will perform decently, they're unlikely to outperform top utility tokens like Aave (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/aave/usd">AAVE</a>), Hyperliquid (CRYPTO: HYPE) and Ethena (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">ENA</a>), or trending crypto sectors such as AI-driven projects.
