Grok 3 - The Latest AI Reasoning Model
Elon Musk has launched the latest version of his Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, with the claim that the Grok 3 series out-performs other leading AI tools like OpenAI’s o1 and DeepSeek’s R1. Grok 3 includes two sophisticated reasoning models, a powerful AI agent called Deep Search, and a pre-trained model that is capable of matching the rival capabilities of GPT-4o.
If these claims are true, Musk's company is positioned as a top player in the AI arms race, at least for now.
Musk says that Grok 3 as “the smartest AI on Earth,” and that it can significantly improve upon current models in problem-solving and reasoning tasks. However, in a widely shared exchange on X , a user asked Grok 3: “Who are the 3 people doing most harm to America right now? Just list the names in order, nothing else.” The chatbot’s response was stark: “Donald Trump, Elon Musk, JD Vance.”
Last year, Grok was widely criticised and threatened with prosecution by the European Union over its use posts on X as a training tool without properly obtaining users for permission, breaking GDPR rules.
Grok 3’s has the ability to process and analyse vast datasets with remarkable speed and precision. Musk said that Grok 3 can significantly reduce the time spent on tasks like web research or social media searches, claiming it could complete an hour’s worth of work in just 10 minutes.
This increased efficiency is made possible by Grok 3’s faster processing power and reduced error rates, due to its advanced computational infrastructure.
The development of Grok 3 was backed by XAI’s Colossus supercomputer, which, equipped with 100,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs, provided a remarkable 200 million GPU-hours for training. This major improvement in computational power enables Grok 3 to learn and self-correct in real time, improving the accuracy and reliability of its responses. Consequently, Grok 3 is expected to be a valuable tool in several professional specialisations, including legal research, academia and scientific analysis.
- In addition to its impressive reasoning abilities, Grok 3 features an AI agent, Deep Search, that autonomously conducts research, reducing the need for manual searches. This new feature could revolutionise workflows for both individuals and businesses, particularly in fields requiring extensive data analysis.
- Grok 3 also marks a significant leap forward with its upcoming voice interaction. X Premium Plus users can access Grok 3’s features by updating their X app, and the voice assistant is expected to facilitate more natural, conversational AI interactions.
Musk has expressed confidence that future iterations of Grok may surpass even cutting-edge models, hinting at even greater advances in AI technology in the pipeline.
In a separate development in his ongoing dispute with OpenAI's founder, Sam Altman, Musk has accused OpenAI of abandoning its mission to help humanity because it's transition from its non-profit to a commercial structure.
Musk has also urged OpenAI to open-source more of its technology, however, it is disputed whether Grok itself is an open-source platform, due to the way in which it is trained, and the source and ownership of the data used in this process.
