Grok 3: Tenfold Increase in Computing Power
Advertisements
The world of artificial intelligence is undergoing a seismic shift, particularly with the latest unveiling from Elon Musk's company, xAIGrok 3, the latest iteration of their language model, has made headlines by claiming to be the "most intelligent AI on the planet." Musk provided a glimpse of Grok 3's capabilities during a live demonstration, showcasing its purported superiority over major competitors, including OpenAI’s GPT-4o.
During the presentation, Musk asserted that Grok 3 represents a tenfold increase in capability compared to its predecessor, Grok 2. This bold claim was accompanied by live tests where Grok 3 tackled complex physics problems and even designed a game that melded elements of popular titles such as "Bejeweled" and "Tetris." These demonstrations were not merely showmanship; they were indicative of what many hope is a paradigm shift in artificial intelligence advancement.
Multiple benchmark tests seem to support xAI's claimsReports indicate that Grok 3 has outperformed Google’s Gemini, DeepSeek’s V3, Anthropic’s Claude, and even OpenAI’s advanced GPT-4o in various domains like mathematics, science, and programmingMusk acknowledged that while the voice capabilities of Grok 3 are still being fine-tuned, the overall functionality is commendably robustA stable voice feature is expected to be rolling out shortly, as the team remains optimistic about the enhancements in intelligence and user interaction.

For instance, when a user inputs a convoluted question, DeepSearch analyzes the question’s core points, exhibits its logic and methodology for extracting relevant insights, and concludes with comprehensive and exact answersBeyond mere querying, it offers functionalities for research, brainstorming, and data analytics, greatly enriching user experienceNevertheless, xAI has been transparent about Grok 3's reasoning model being in a trial phase, undergoing continuous training and improvements.
Initially, Grok 3 has been made available to Premium+ subscribers of X (formerly known as Twitter), alongside a new SuperGrok subscription plan designed expressly for mobile users of Grok and those accessing Grok.com.
This escalating AI competition represents a broader contest between capital and computational powerCurrently, xAI is on the lookout for a new round of financing, seeking as much as $10 billion, with an anticipated valuation of $75 billionIn contrast, OpenAI plans a much larger fundraising effort of $40 billion, projecting its valuation to reach an extraordinary $300 billion.
The AI sector is attracting unprecedented investment levelsNotably, companies like SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle, and the UAE-associated MGX consortium announced a monumental $100 billion commitment toward AI infrastructure, with ultimate targets aiming for a colossal $500 billion
