The launch comes as the world’s richest man is deploying the enormous powers granted him by US President Donald Trump to restructure and dismantle federal agencies.
“Grok is to understand the universe,“ Musk said at the start of the Grok 3 launch presentation.
Musk has promoted Grok 3 as “scary smart,“ with 10 times the computational resources of its predecessor that was released in August last year.
“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,“ Musk said in a video call last week with the World Governments Summit in Dubai.
The upgraded chatbot enters a crowded field with countries racing to introduce more sophisticated -- and cost-effective -- AI products.
Grok 3 is also going up against OpenAI’s chatbot, ChatGPT - pitting Musk against collaborator-turned-arch rival Sam Altman.
Musk left three years later, and then in 2022 OpenAI’s release of ChatGPT created a global technology sensation -- one that did not feature Musk at its center and which made Altman a star.
Trump and tech
Musk has become a key figure in the administration, as one of Trump’s closest advisers and the head of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has begun a radical overhaul of the US government bureaucracy.
According to Bloomberg, xAI has been canvassing potential investors for a roughly $10 billion funding round that would value the company at about $75 billion.
Musk, who also acts as boss of SpaceX and Tesla, launched the xAI company in July 2023, shortly after he signed an open letter calling for a pause in the development of powerful AI models.
