Overview

• Elon Musk announced that Grok 3, developed by xAI, will be released in one to two weeks, describing it as 'scary smart' with superior reasoning abilities.
• Grok 3 is designed to compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT and DeepSeek's R1 model, both leaders in the current AI landscape, though Musk's claims remain unverified.
• Unlike its earlier open-source iterations, Grok 3 is now proprietary and integrated with Musk's social media platform X, with accessibility also via web and mobile apps.
• Musk's xAI plans to expand its workforce significantly, hiring thousands of 'AI tutors' to further train Grok 3, which currently employs around 900 staff members.
• The announcement comes as Musk continues legal battles with OpenAI over its transition to a for-profit model, a move he has publicly opposed since his departure from the organization.
