Geekbench AI uses real-world machine learning tasks to evaluate AI workload performance on your CPU, GPU, or NPU usage. It provides three scores: full-precision, half-precision, and quantized data.
Editor's take: It didn't take long for users to generate controversial images using Grok, sparking a debate about how these AI-generated pictures might influence public perception of politicians or celebrities. With the potential of misinformation impacting elections, it is fair to wonder about the responsibilities of developers and platforms in ensuring the integrity of information shared on their networks. Moreover, this initial wave of images could wind up being a cautionary tale if they are used to shape future regulations or guidelines for AI content creation tools.
