Elon Musk Launches Grok 3 AI Chatbot; Set to Rival ChatGPT, DeepSeek Among Many

Elon Musk-owned xAI has launched Grok 3, an artificial intelligence platform, that is set to take on OpenAI’s ChatGPT, China’s DeepSeek and other AI platforms.

Musk in a video call with the World Governments Summit in Dubai said, “Grok 3 has very powerful reasoning capabilities, so in the tests that we've done thus far, Grok 3 is outperforming anything that's been released, that we're aware of, so that's a good sign”.

During a conference Musk said, “At times I think Grok 3 is scary smart.” Expected to run on xAI’s Colossus supercomputer, the chatbot uses over 100,000 Nvidia GPU hours to train AI models. It was built in a span of eight months, he added.

Grok 3 is being rolled out to Premium Plus subscribers on X, starting from today. Musk said, “Make sure to update your X app to explore all the advanced features, as we’ve just released the update.”

He added, “we’re launching a separate subscription called Super Grok for dedicated fans who want the most advanced capabilities and earliest access to new features. This is available for both the Grok app and our new website, grok.com.”

He further said, “If you’re looking for a more polished version, it might be worth waiting a week, but expect improvements every day. We’re also working on a voice interaction feature so you can have a conversational experience. I tried it earlier today, and it’s working pretty well, though it still needs some polish. The goal is to make it so you can talk to it just like you would a person. I think it’s going to be one of the best experiences with Grok3, but that should be about a week away.”
