 Grok 3: XAI’s Next-Generation AI Model





XAI has just unveiled its latest AI model, Grok 3, and according to Elon Musk and three of XAI’s engineers, it is an order of magnitude better than its predecessor, Grok 2. This essentially means that Grok 3 is about ten times more powerful. The model was trained in a massive data center in Memphis, Tennessee, featuring approximately 200,000 graphics processing units (GPUs). This high-powered facility, sometimes referred to as the “Colossus supercomputer,” is believed to be the driving force behind Grok 3’s impressive capabilities.

How Does Grok 3 Compare to Other AI Models?

According to XAI’s internal benchmarks, Grok 3 outperforms leading competitors such as OpenAI’s GPT-4, Google’s Gemini, and DeepSeek’s models in several key areas, including mathematics, science, coding, and problem-solving. The company highlights Grok 3’s strong performance in benchmarks like AIM, a mathematics competition test, and GPQA, which assesses PhD-level physics, biology, and chemistry knowledge. Additionally, even the smaller versions of the Grok 3 family have been ranking well in Chatbot Arena, an online platform where different AI models compete based on human votes.

The Grok 3 Family

Grok 3 is not just a single model but a family of models catering to different needs. The lineup includes:

  • Grok 3 Reasoning
  • Grok 3 Mini Reasoning
  • Standard Grok 3
  • Grok 3 Mini

The reasoning models are designed for complex thought processes, utilizing chain-of-thought prompting, which helps the AI structure its responses more effectively. However, XAI has implemented restrictions on some aspects of Grok’s reasoning process to prevent knowledge extraction techniques used by other developers.

How Can Users Access Grok 3?

Grok 3 is integrated into X (formerly Twitter) and is available through a dedicated website, grok.com, as well as an iOS app. Users subscribed to X’s Premium Plus tier gain immediate access to Grok 3. Additionally, a new subscription tier, Super Grok, is being introduced, with rumored pricing of around $30 per month or $300 per year.

Once inside, users can take advantage of several powerful features:

  • Deep Search: An advanced research tool that scans the internet and data on X to provide detailed summaries.
  • Big Brain Mode: Allows Grok 3 to take extra time to think through complex problems, enhancing its responses for coding and scientific queries.
  • Voice Mode (Coming Soon): Enables users to interact with Grok 3 via spoken commands, similar to ChatGPT and Google Assistant.

Demonstrations and Capabilities

During a recent demonstration, XAI showcased Grok 3 mapping out a hypothetical space mission from Earth to Mars—a nod to Musk’s SpaceX endeavors. It also demonstrated game coding capabilities, producing a game described as a hybrid of Tetris and Bejeweled. Further testing revealed that Grok 3 excels in real-time problem-solving for complex math and science queries. Additionally, the model can generate images and analyze visual content, bringing it on par with multimodal AI models like GPT-4 and Google Gemini.

The Competitive Landscape and Legal Disputes

With the launch of Grok 3, XAI is positioning itself as a major competitor to OpenAI, Google, and DeepSeek. However, tensions between XAI and OpenAI have escalated, with Musk filing lawsuits against OpenAI, accusing the company of straying from its original mission. Musk even attempted to acquire OpenAI’s nonprofit arm for $974 billion, an offer that was rejected by CEO Sam Altman.

Meanwhile, XAI is aggressively expanding its funding efforts. Reports indicate that Musk is seeking $10 billion for XAI, which could boost the company’s valuation to $75 billion. In comparison, OpenAI is reportedly looking to raise $4 billion, with a potential valuation reaching $300 billion.

The AI Arms Race and Infrastructure Expansion

XAI is not just competing in the AI software space—it is also making massive investments in AI infrastructure. The company is rumored to be finalizing a deal with Dell Technologies to acquire over $5 billion worth of AI-optimized servers. In the broader AI industry, companies such as SoftBank, Oracle, and Abu Dhabi’s MGX are pooling around $100 billion to $500 billion to build more AI data centers in the U.S., further intensifying the AI arms race.

Grok 3’s Approach to Content Moderation

One of the defining promises of the Grok AI family was its commitment to being unfiltered and capable of discussing controversial topics more freely than other AI models. However, early testers found that Grok and Grok 2 still refrained from answering certain political or sensitive questions. Musk has attributed this to the biases present in the training data rather than explicit moderation rules. XAI continues to work on making Grok 3 as politically neutral as possible, but this remains an area of scrutiny among AI researchers and users.

What’s Next for Grok 3?

Currently, the dedicated Grok app is only available on iOS, but Android users can still access it through the X app. There is no confirmed timeline for an Android-specific app, but updates and improvements are happening daily. Musk has also hinted that noticeable performance changes can occur within 24 hours due to ongoing model refinements.

Business and Enterprise Applications

Beyond individual users, Grok 3 is set to make an impact in the business sector. In the coming weeks, XAI plans to launch an Enterprise API, allowing companies to integrate Grok’s capabilities into their platforms. Potential use cases include:

  • Code generation and debugging
  • Fraud detection
  • Advanced data analysis
  • Medical diagnostics (pending regulatory approval)

As AI continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, Grok 3 is poised to be a major player in the landscape. With its robust computing power, innovative features, and deep-pocketed backing, XAI is setting the stage for an intense competition in the AI market.

Google Creates a Digital Fruit Fly That Thinks, Moves, and Sees Like the Real Thing In a stunning leap forward for both artificial intelligence and biology, Google has developed a fully digital fruit fly—a virtual insect that lives inside a computer and behaves just like its real-world counterpart. This digital creation walks, flies, sees, and responds to its environment with lifelike precision. The journey began with a meticulous reconstruction of a fruit fly’s body using Mojo, a powerful physics simulator. The result was a highly detailed 3D model that could mimic the fly's physical movements. But a body alone doesn’t make a fly—it needed a brain. To create one, Google's team collected massive volumes of video footage of real fruit flies in motion. They used this data to train a specialized AI model that learned to replicate the complex behaviors of a fly—walking across surfaces, making sudden mid-air turns, and adjusting flight speed with astonishing realism. Once this AI br...

What Are We Really Feeding Our Minds? A Wake-Up Call for Indian Youth In the age of social media, trends rule our screens and, slowly, our minds. Scroll through any platform and you’ll see what truly captures the attention of the Indian youth: food reels, cinema gossip, sports banter, and, not to forget, the ever-growing obsession with glamour and sex appeal. Let’s face a hard truth: If a celebrity removes her chappal at the airport, it grabs millions of views in minutes. But a high-quality video explaining a powerful scientific concept or a motivational lecture from a renowned educator? Struggles to get even a few hundred likes. Why does this matter? Because what we consume shapes who we become. And while there’s nothing wrong with enjoying entertainment, food, or sports — it becomes dangerous when that’s all we focus on. Constant consumption of surface-level content trains our minds to seek instant gratification, leaving little room for deep thinking, curiosity, or personal growth...

REAL GOD of GODs

In 2016, Amazon proudly unveiled its “Just Walk Out” technology, marketed as a groundbreaking artificial intelligence (AI) system that could detect and charge customers for items they picked up without human intervention. The reality, however, was far less high-tech than advertised. Behind the scenes, over a thousand overseas workers—primarily based in India—were manually monitoring and supporting the system. This revelation exposed a broader truth: the remarkable rise of AI is built not just on algorithms and computing power, but on the backs of an invisible human workforce. The Human Side of AI Contrary to popular belief, the engines that power virtual assistants, recommendation systems, and machine translation are not entirely autonomous. They require extensive human input to function effectively. This input often comes from data workers responsible for labeling images, transcribing audio, and categorizing content. While Silicon Valley giants present AI as a product of sophisticat...
