San Francisco: Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence venture, xAI, has just made a bold move in the AI race by unveiling Grok-3, its most advanced language model to date. With its release, xAI aims to challenge the dominance of OpenAI’s GPT-4 and reshape the future of generative AI.
Grok-3, the third-generation model under Musk’s xAI umbrella, is now available to select users on the X platform (formerly Twitter), exclusively for Premium+ and SuperGrok subscribers. According to the company, the model not only offers faster and more nuanced responses but also outperforms GPT-4 on several key benchmarks, including AIME (mathematical reasoning) and GPQA (PhD-level science questions).
“Grok-3 is built to reason at a deeper level,” Musk posted on X following the announcement. “It’s not just about generating words—it’s about understanding them.”
One of Grok-3’s standout features is DeepSearch, a capability that allows the model to scan the open internet and summarize relevant information in real time. This functionality, paired with its integration into the X platform, positions Grok-3 as both a research tool and a conversational assistant rolled into one.
Industry experts are calling Grok-3 a major leap forward in the rapidly evolving AI space. “The benchmarks suggest that Grok-3 has not only caught up to GPT-4 but may be surpassing it in specific domains like science and math,” said Dr. Evelyn Hart, a computational linguist at Stanford University.
While xAI has not released full access to the public, an enterprise-level API is reportedly in the works, and insiders suggest it could be priced competitively to rival offerings from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind.
Musk, who has publicly criticized OpenAI for becoming “closed and commercial,” appears determined to carve out his own path in the AI world. With Grok-3, he’s not just launching a model—he’s reigniting the battle for the future of artificial intelligence.
