The xAI company owned by Elon Musk officially released its latest generation of artificial intelligence model Grok3 at 12 noon Beijing time today. This release not only marks another leap in artificial intelligence technology, but also demonstrates the strong strength of xAI in the field of AI. Musk is confident about the launch, claiming that Grok3's capabilities are "an order of magnitude" higher than its predecessor Grok2, and boldly calls it "the smartest artificial intelligence on earth." This statement undoubtedly attracted widespread attention and discussion in the technology community.
Grok3 is not a single model, but a diverse family of models, the most eye-catching of which is the Grok3mini. This smaller version of the model is designed to answer user questions quickly, and while some accuracy may be sacrificed in certain situations, its response speed is impressive. Grok3 has performed particularly well in mathematical reasoning, scientific logical reasoning and code writing, surpassing competitors including DeepSeek-v3, GPT-4o and Gemini-2pro in multiple benchmarks, demonstrating its powerful ability in complex task processing.
Grok3's powerful performance is thanks to the technological innovation of the xAI team. The development cycle of the model was shortened to eight months, which is inseparable from the support of the powerful Colossus supercomputer behind it. Colossus uses 100,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs and has a cumulative training time of 200 million GPU hours, which is ten times the size of the previous generation Grok2. Such huge computing resources allow Grok3 to quickly process massive data and make significant breakthroughs in high accuracy.
In addition, Grok3 has also launched new "reasoning" features, including Grok3Reasoning and Grok3mini Reasoning. These models can think more carefully about problems, avoid common mistakes, and make them more advantageous in complex task processing. xAI also specially launched a new feature called "DeepSearch", which can quickly scan Internet information and respond to user queries in the form of a summary, greatly improving the user experience.
Although Grok3's inference model is still in the beta stage, users can already access these features through the Grok application. In order to meet the needs of more users, xAI has also launched SuperGrok subscription service, where users can enjoy additional inference and DeepSearch query permissions. This move not only provides users with more choices, but also further enhances the market competitiveness of Grok3.
Musk is full of expectations for this release and revealed that a voice mode will be launched in the next week to further enhance the user experience. In addition, xAI plans to open source Grok2 in the next few months so that wider developers can participate in the construction of their ecosystem. This series of measures not only intensifies the competition with OpenAI, but also brings new expectations for the future development of the AI field. With the release of Grok3, artificial intelligence technology has once again reached a new level. It is worth waiting for us to wait and see how it will evolve in the future.
