xAI, the startup led by Elon Musk that raised $6 billion successful December, has a caller AI exemplary that it claims is amended than AI created by DeepSeek and ChatGPT-maker OpenAI.
In a live-streamed event connected X connected Monday that has been viewed complete six cardinal times astatine the clip of writing, Musk and 3 xAI engineers revealed Grok 3, the startup's latest AI model. They claimed Grok 3 had higher scores connected math, science, and coding benchmark tests than OpenAI's GPT-4o, DeepSeek's V3, and Google's Gemini AI.

They besides said Grok 3 was a measurement up successful sheer powerfulness from xAI's erstwhile exemplary Grok 2, released in August. The latest type has much than 10 times the computational powerfulness of Grok 2, greater accuracy, and a bigger capacity for ample datasets.
"The connection Grok [means] to afloat and profoundly understand something," Musk said connected the livestream, noting that the connection came from the 1961 caller "Stranger successful a Strange Land" by American writer Robert Heinlein. He added later successful the livestream that "if you're utilizing Grok 3, you whitethorn announcement improvements almost each time because we're continuously improving the model."

xAI engineers demonstrated really Grok 3 could beryllium utilized to create codification for an animated 3D crippled of a spacecraft motorboat that started connected Earth, landed connected Mars, and came backmost to Earth.
The engineers besides asked Grok to harvester 2 games, Tetris and Bejeweled, into 1 game. The result, which the engineers played connected the livestream, was akin to Tetris pinch shapes inching down the surface but had the rules of Bejeweled pinch multicolored blocks that vanished if location were 3 successful a row.

Musk said that immoderate AI could find examples of Tetris aliases Bejeweled online and copy them, but Grok 3 took it 1 measurement further.
"What's absorbing present is it [Grok 3] achieved a imaginative solution combining 2 games that really useful and is simply a bully game," Musk noted. "We're seeing the beginnings of creativity."

The researchers said they only trained Grok 3's reasoning abilities connected mathematics problems and competitory coding problems, but they observed that Grok 3 could use what it learned to a assortment of usage cases, including reasoning done making games.
xAI isn't the only awesome AI startup to merchandise precocious AI this year. Last month, OpenAI released the o3-mini, its astir cost-effective yet powerful exemplary yet, while DeepSeek came retired pinch R1, a disruptive AI exemplary pinch cutting-edge capacity connected a little than $6 cardinal budget.
Grok 3 is currently available for Premium+ X subscribers paying $22 a month.
