Elon Musk has recently announced that xAI’s Grok 3 model is set to launch this week, with a live demo scheduled for Monday night at 8:00 p.m. Pacific time. Musk described Grok as the smartest AI on Earth and mentioned that he will be logging offline until the demo to assist the team in preparing the new product for release.
Grok 3 is the next generation of xAI’s AI model, and Musk has hinted at some of its exciting new features. For example, the model will include datasets such as “all court cases,” which Musk claims will enable Grok 3 to deliver extremely compelling legal verdicts. Additionally, Musk has shared examples of Grok 3’s capabilities, including testing the model’s inference and highlighting its impressive performance.
xAI first introduced the beta version of Grok-2 in August, followed by the launch of the company’s first public image generation in December. The model was later made available for all X users for free, expanding access beyond Premium Plus subscribers. xAI is also working on a standalone app for Grok, eliminating the need for users to access the AI model through X.
The launch of Grok 3 comes amid reports of a group of investors led by Musk submitting a $97.4 billion bid for control of OpenAI, a firm Musk helped found in 2015 before leaving in 2018. Musk has been critical of OpenAI’s transition to a for-profit model, openly expressing his dissatisfaction with the direction of the organization.
In response to these developments, xAI open-sourced Grok’s weights and architecture and plans to continue expanding the model’s capabilities. The upcoming launch of Grok 3 represents a significant milestone for xAI, showcasing the company’s commitment to advancing AI technology.
Stay tuned for more updates on xAI’s Grok 3 model and its impact on the AI industry.
