xAI Unveils Grok-3, Aims to Compete with Industry Giants
Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup, xAI, has introduced Grok-3, the latest version of its chatbot, designed to rival major AI firms like DeepSeek, OpenAI, and Google. The launch comes at a pivotal moment in the AI race, as xAI accelerates its push for influence in the sector.
Grok-3: A Major Leap Forward
The new Grok-3 chatbot promises significant advancements over its predecessor, Grok-2. According to Musk, the latest model is in a “league of its own” and is far more capable than earlier versions. Users can immediately access Grok-3 through Premium+ subscriptions on X, Musk’s social media platform, with a new subscription tier, SuperGrok, also being introduced for those accessing it via mobile or the Grok website.
DeepSearch: A Revolutionary New Feature
One of the key features of Grok-3 is DeepSearch, a smart search engine designed to enhance research, brainstorming, and data analysis. Unlike conventional AI models, DeepSearch can articulate its reasoning process when answering user queries, providing greater transparency and insight into how it arrives at conclusions.
Open-Source Commitment and Future Plans
xAI continues to emphasize its commitment to open-source AI. Musk confirmed that earlier versions of Grok will be made publicly available once the latest model reaches full maturity, which he expects to happen in the coming months.
Expanding xAI’s Reach: Data Centers and Funding Talks
To support the development of even more advanced models, xAI is scaling up its data center capacity. The company is also reportedly in discussions to raise up to $10 billion in funding, potentially valuing the startup at around $75 billion.
xAI’s aggressive push into the AI market is set to make it a key player in the growing competition between tech giants.
