Elon Musk Launches Grok 3 to Take on ChatGPT and DeepSeek

The xAI-developed chatbot claims to be the world's most advanced AI, leveraging expanded Nvidia supercomputing power.

  • Elon Musk unveiled Grok 3, the latest conversational AI from his company xAI, during a live demonstration on X, reaching 2.7 million viewers.
  • Grok 3 is positioned as a competitor to OpenAI's ChatGPT and China's DeepSeek, with Musk declaring it 'the most intelligent AI on Earth.'
  • The launch follows xAI's December 2024 $6 billion funding round to enhance its infrastructure and expand its AI capabilities.
  • Musk's dual role as head of xAI and a U.S. government commission raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest, including his access to Nvidia's H100 chips for training Grok 3.
  • Grok 3's advanced features are initially available to X Premium+ subscribers, with a premium 'Super Grok' tier offering additional functionality.
