Grok was forked from OpenJPEG's libopenjp2 in April 2016 by Aaron Boxer under a more restrictive license.[2] He was aiming to close up to the performance of the much more efficient proprietary Kakadu.[3][4] It fully implements the ISO/IEC 15444-1 technical standard. As of 2022, the newer, complexity-reduced High-Throughput JPEG 2000 standard (HTJ2K, ISO/IEC 15444-15, ITU-T T.814) is being implemented, with decoding support already available.[5]
