Elon Musk just released an AI that’s smarter than ChatGPT — here’s why that matters

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup xAI has recently unveiled Grok 3, its latest AI model that is claimed to outperform leading competitors across key technical benchmarks. This announcement signifies a significant advancement in the ongoing race to develop more powerful AI systems.

The launch of Grok 3 comes shortly after Musk’s unsuccessful $97.4 billion bid to acquire OpenAI, the company he co-founded with Sam Altman in 2015. During a livestreamed demonstration, Musk described Grok 3 as “an order of magnitude more capable than Grok 2” and highlighted its advanced reasoning abilities.

Initial testing has shown promising results, with Grok 3 leading the Chatbot Arena leaderboard and outscoring prominent competitors like GPT-4o from OpenAI, Gemini from Google, and DeepSeek’s V3 model in blind user testing. Published benchmarks have also demonstrated Grok 3’s superior performance in mathematics, scientific reasoning, and coding tasks.

One of the key highlights of Grok 3 is its massive computing infrastructure, which includes 200,000 GPUs housed in a new data center in Memphis. This significant investment in computational resources underscores the growing demands of advanced AI development as companies strive to build more capable systems.

Grok 3 introduces innovative features such as DeepSearch, a function that combines web searching with reasoning capabilities to analyze information from multiple sources. The model also includes specialized modes for complex problem-solving, such as a “Think” function that showcases its reasoning process and a “Big Brain” mode that allocates additional computing power to challenging tasks.

While Grok 3 has shown impressive performance in various benchmarks, some limitations have been identified during testing, including challenges with citations, humor, and ethical reasoning tasks. These limitations highlight the ongoing difficulties in developing truly human-like artificial intelligence systems.

The model will be available through xAI’s Premium+ subscription and a new standalone “SuperGrok” service. Enterprise API access is also expected in the near future. This launch intensifies competition in the AI industry, particularly as Chinese startup DeepSeek has demonstrated comparable performance with reportedly lower computational requirements.

Overall, Grok 3’s debut signifies the escalating competition in the AI industry and raises questions about the sustainability of the computational arms race in AI. Musk has emphasized that Grok 3 is still in beta, with continuous improvements expected. The release of Grok 3 also underscores the mounting tension between Musk and his former colleagues at OpenAI, showcasing the high-stakes nature of the race for AI dominance.
