Grok 3: Ilon Musk’s new AI model from xAI challenges GPT-4o

Ilon Musk’s company xAI has released its flagship AI model, the Grok 3, which promises to significantly boost intelligence and compete with OpenAI’s GPT-4o and Google’s Gemini.

The Grok 3 promises to dramatically increase intelligence and compete with OpenAI’s GPT-4o and Google’s Gemini.

The new product is already available in Grok apps for iOS and the web, and X Premium+ subscribers (for $22/month) will get early access to it.

Power 10 times more powerful than Grok 2

Mask says the Grok 3 was trained in a huge data center in Memphis containing about 200,000 GPUs. Musk claims Grok 3 used 10 times more computing resources than the previous version and was trained on an expanded dataset that included court cases.

Musk says Grok 3 was trained on an expanded dataset that included court cases.

“Grok 3 is an order of magnitude more powerful than Grok 2. It’s AI maximizing the pursuit of truth, even when it goes against political correctness,” Musk said during the presentation.

“Grok 3 is an AI that’s as true as possible.

Grok 3 and Grok 3 Mini: speed vs accuracy

Grok 3 is an entire family of models, not one single version.

• Grok 3 Mini is a faster but less accurate version that can respond quickly to requests.
• Grok 3 Reasoning and Grok 3 Mini Reasoning are advanced models that can «think through» complex questions and verify their answers.

.

According to xAI, Grok 3 Reasoning outperforms the best OpenAI o3-mini versions on several math benchmarks, including AIME 2025.

New level of analytics: DeepSearch and SuperGrok

Grok 3 includes DeepSearch, a tool for deeply analyzing information from the web and Social X, allowing you to draw concise analytical conclusions about queries.

For expanded access, users are offered a SuperGrok subscription for $30 per month or $300 per year, which includes:
Additional queries from DeepSearch
Unlimited image generation
In-depth reasoning models

The Future of Grok 3: Voice Mode and APIs

The Grok 3 will get «voice mode» within a week, and in a few weeks, models will appear in the corporate xAI API.

Mask also said Grok 2 will be put into open-source in the coming months when Grok 3 reaches stability.

Grok 3: is it really «unbiased»?”

.

Musk initially positioned Grok as an AI uncensored and «outside of woke culture» but previous versions have shied away from discussing sensitive political topics and displayed a leftist bias on minority rights, diversity programs and inequality.

Musk has promised to shift Grok toward “political neutrality,” but it’s unclear to what extent that has worked out and what the consequences will be.

Closure

Grok 3 is xAI’s ambitious step in competing for leadership in the AI industry. With improved logic, DeepSearch, voice mode and business APIs, it could become a serious competitor to GPT-4o and Gemini.
