Elon Musk's company, xAI, has introduced its latest artificial intelligence model, Grok 3, claiming it surpasses competitors from OpenAI and China's DeepSeek. Early testing indicates that Grok 3 excels in standardized assessments of math, science, and coding. Starting today, premium X members will have access to Grok 3 features, while a separate subscription will make the model available via a dedicated web and app version.
xAI has invested heavily in training Grok 3, utilizing its "Colossus supercomputer," which employs a cluster of 100,000 advanced Nvidia GPUs. The company doubled its GPU resources to enhance the training process for their new model. Elon Musk described Grok 3 as "scary smart" with exceptional reasoning abilities, emphasizing the model's superior performance compared to existing models in xAI's internal tests.
"We're very excited to present Grok 3, which is, we think, an order of magnitude more capable than Grok 2 in a very short period of time," – Elon Musk
Grok 3 has already garnered better ratings than competitors on Chatbot Arena, a crowdsourced platform where different AI models undergo blind tests. This model's early iteration impressed evaluators, suggesting potential for leading the market. Furthermore, Grok 3 boasts a voice assistance feature slated for release in the future.
Elon Musk launched xAI in 2023 to compete in the growing generative AI market, which includes giants like OpenAI's ChatGPT. His vocal criticism of AI's potential dangers and ongoing disputes with OpenAI leadership underscore his commitment to advancing AI technology responsibly.
"We should emphasize that this is kind of a beta, meaning that you should expect some imperfections at first, but we will improve it rapidly, almost every day," – Elon Musk
In addition to Grok 3, xAI is set to release "Deep Search," a next-generation search engine aimed at revolutionizing the way users interact with information online. This new product reflects xAI's ambition to establish itself as a leader in AI-driven solutions.
As part of its strategic rollout, xAI will make Grok 3 accessible through premium subscriptions, ensuring that users experience the model's capabilities firsthand. The company's innovative approach includes continuous updates and improvements to address any initial shortcomings in the beta phase.
"This might be the last time that an AI is better than Grok," – Elon Musk
