REST API
REST API (Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface) is a common way for different computer systems to communicate over the internet using standard HTTP methods.

TECHNICAL DEFINITION
A REST API is an architectural style for networked applications, commonly used in AI engineering to expose model inference endpoints or data services over HTTP, enabling stateless client-server communication through standard methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE for resource manipulation.
BACKGROUND
Grok is a generative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by xAI. It was launched in November 2023 by Elon Musk as an initiative based on the large language model (LLM) of the same name. Grok has apps for iOS and Android and is integrated with the X social network and Tesla's Optimus robot. The chatbot is named after the verb to grok, created by the American science fiction author Robert A. Heinlein to convey a form of deep, intuitive understanding.
