Elon Musk debuts Grok 3 that he says outperforms ChatGPT and other AI models
xAI recently announced the launch of its updated Grok-3 AI model, which is available to users through a premium subscription to Elon Musk's X platform. The unveiling of Grok 3 took place during an event livestreamed on Musk's X platform, where leaders at xAI claimed that the new model surpasses competitors in various benchmarks.
Advanced Capabilities
Grok 3 boasts superior performance across math, science, and coding benchmarks compared to models such as Google's Gemini, OpenAI's GPT-4o, Anthropic's Claude 3.5, and DeepSeek's V3. The tool comes with a range of new features, including advanced web searching with "deep search," the ability to code online games, and a "big brain" mode for tackling complex problems.
Availability and Subscription
The Grok 3 AI model is now accessible to members of X's Premium+ subscription plans priced at $40 per month. Users can also subscribe directly on Grok's standalone app or website to access this cutting-edge technology.
Competition in AI
The AI industry is witnessing increased competition as technology giants invest in more powerful AI models by expanding their data centers. Companies like xAI are at the forefront of this technological revolution, aiming to transform how people work, communicate, and navigate the internet.
Future Developments
Elon Musk highlighted that Grok 3 was developed with significantly more computer power than its predecessor, Grok 2, following the establishment of a new data center in Tennessee. He referred to Grok 3 as a "kind of beta" test, acknowledging that there may be initial imperfections but promising rapid improvements.
Musk also teased a forthcoming "voice mode" for Grok 3, similar to the natural conversation feature found in competitor apps like ChatGPT.
Open-Source Initiatives
When questioned about open-sourcing xAI's models, Musk revealed plans to make the code behind the previous Grok 2 model publicly available once Grok 3 reaches a mature and stable state in the coming months.
