Elon Musk’s xAI launches Grok 3 chatbot

Elon Musk’s xAI unveiled an updated version of its AI model, Grok 3, which outperforms some models developed by competing companies such as Google and China's DeepSeek.

In a live broadcast on Feb. 17, the company stated that Grok 3 surpasses Google's Gemini models, DeepSeek’s V3, Anthropic's Claude, and OpenAI's ChatGPT 4.0, particularly in areas like mathematics, science, and programming.

Musk pointed out that Grok 3's computational power is ten times greater than its predecessor, and that the model completed its pre-training phase in early January, Bloomberg reported.

The world's richest businessman previously described Grok 3 as "the smartest AI on Earth."

He also added that his startup is committed to continually improving its models, with progress being detectable in just a single day.

In addition to the updated model, xAI introduced a new intelligent search engine called DeepSearch, which is a logical chatbot that displays to users how it understands commands and how it plans to respond.

The new search engine includes features for scientific research, brainstorming, and data analysis. During the event, the company's team mentioned that they plan to launch a voice-command-based chatbot in the near future.

The social media platform X, integrated with the chatbot, will offer immediate access to Premium+ subscribers, and plans to introduce a new subscription called Super Grok for users of the AI chatbot's mobile app and website.
