Elon Musk’s xAI has recently launched Grok 3, dubbed as the ‘smartest AI on Earth’. This new AI is claimed to outperform OpenAI’s ChatGPT model, showing better performance in scientific, mathematical, and coding benchmarks. Musk announced the launch of Grok 3 during a live broadcast, highlighting that it has “over 10 times” the computing power of the previous Grok model. Access to Grok 3 is exclusive to subscribers of X (formerly Twitter), and it will also be part of a new subscription called SuperGrok, offering access through the Grok mobile app and website. Additionally, the team also introduced a product named “Deep Search” as the next-generation search engine. The launch of Grok 3 comes just a week after Musk made a failed bid of USD 97.4 billion to acquire OpenAI, a company he co-founded in 2015. The Reddit thread dedicated to the first impressions of Grok 3 showed users’ amazement with the new chatbot, praising its performance in mathematics and coding. While some users expressed surprise and admiration for Grok 3’s capabilities, others urged caution in assessing its real-world problem-solving abilities and potential biases. Overall, the launch of Grok 3 has garnered mixed reviews but generated excitement among users.
