Elon Musk-owned xAI has unveiled the latest model of its chatbot, Grok 3. Set to directly compete with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Chinese DeepSeek and other AI chatbots, Grok 3 is claimed to offer 10 times the computational resources of its predecessor that was released in August last year. In a video call with the World Governments Summit in Dubai, Musk said “Grok 3 has very powerful reasoning capabilities, so in the tests that we’ve done thus far, Grok 3 is outperforming anything that’s been released, that we’re aware of, so that’s a good sign”.
During the conference, Musk termed Grok 3 as “scary smart”. He said: “At times I think Grok 3 is scary smart”. The chatbot is expected to run on xAI’s Colossus supercomputer, which reportedly uses over 100,000 Nvidia GPU hours to train AI models. The system was built in just over eight months, he added.
Grok 3 availability and how to use
As announced by the company, Grok 3 is rolling out to Premium Plus subscribers on X, staring today. “Make sure to update your X app to explore all the advanced features, as we’ve just released the update,” the tech billionaire noted.
Adding further, he said “we’re launching a separate subscription called Super Grok for dedicated fans who want the most advanced capabilities and earliest access to new features. This is available for both the Grok app and our new website, grok.com.”
“If you’re looking for a more polished version, it might be worth waiting a week, but expect improvements every day. We’re also working on a voice interaction feature so you can have a conversational experience. I tried it earlier today, and it’s working pretty well, though it still needs some polish. The goal is to make it so you can talk to it just like you would a person. I think it’s going to be one of the best experiences with Grok3, but that should be about a week away,” Elon Musk added.
