Grok 3 launched to take on ChatGPT, Gemini and DeepSeek: All You Need to Know
Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, has officially launched Grok 3, its most advanced chatbot yet. This new AI model is designed to compete with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, and DeepSeek. According to Musk, Grok 3 is significantly more capable than its predecessor, Grok 2.
“All you need to know to understand which company will win a technology competition is look at the first and second derivatives of the rate of innovation,” Musk wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Advanced Features
Grok 3 is being rolled out to X users who are subscribed to the Premium Plus plan. For those looking for even more advanced features, xAI is also launching a new subscription plan called Super Grok. This plan will offer early access to updates and be available for both the Grok app and the newly introduced website, grok.com.
During the live demo, the xAI team explained that Grok 3 was evaluated on three key areas: General mathematical reasoning, STEM and science knowledge, and computer science coding.
Enhanced AI Model
According to xAI researchers, Grok 3 outperforms many existing AI models, and even its smaller version, Grok 3 Mini, is competing at a high level. They believe that simply having a top pre-trained model is not enough. “At xAI, we believe that having the best pre-training model is not enough to create the best AI. The best AI needs to think like a human,” they said.
“If you’re using Grok 3, you may notice improvements almost every day because we are constantly working on enhancing the model. In fact, you might even see changes within 24 hours,” they added.
“You need to consider all possible solutions, self-critique, verify them, backtrack, and think from first principles. This is a crucial skill. We believe that by taking the best pre-trained model and further training it with reinforcement learning, we can enhance its reasoning abilities. This allows the model to improve significantly and scale, not just during training but also during testing,” xAI team said.
Whether Grok 3 lives up to the hype remains to be seen.
