Elon Musk's AI company xAI is releasing a new family of AI models. xAI said Grok 3 is to be made available in the coming days with no more precise schedule and initially serving paying subscribers.

Grok 3 was presented in a live presentation on X where Musk said it was the ultimate truth-seeking AI, sometimes at odds with what is politically correct. According to xAI and Musk, Grok 3 beats competition models in some benchmarks including being better than GPT-4o in the AIME math benchmark and GPQA test, and performing well in the chatbot arena under the name chocolate.

The reasoning version of Grok 3 is also said to be better than OpenAI's o3-mini in some benchmarks. Grok 3 was developed with 10x more computing power than Grok 2 using a data center with 200,000 GPUs in Memphis for training. Grok 2 is to be made available as open source in the coming months.
