xAI is an artificial intelligence company owned by Elon Musk, which released its latest artificial intelligence chatbot Grok3.

Compared with previous generations, Grok3 has pioneering abilities in science, mathematics and creativity, and has made a major leap.

At the live demonstration, Musk highlighted the great progress of this chatbot and said: "We are very excited to show you the Grok3, which has achieved qualitative capabilities in a short period of time. The leap is far beyond the previous generation of Grok2. "

This event attracted nearly 100,000 viewers to watch online, fully demonstrating the huge popularity of Grok3. Musk also thanked the development team for their hard work: "I feel very honored to be able to work with such an excellent team."

01. The name of "Grok" and its significance

Musk also explained " The origin of the name Grok, said it was inspired by Robert Heinlein's science fiction novel "The Strange Land".

In the novel, a character who grew up on Mars uses the word "grok", which means comprehensive and profound Understand something.

Musk explained: "Embryonic ability is an important part of understanding." This is also the core characteristic that Grok3 pursues - establishing emotional connections based on deep understanding.

02.Grok3 R&D Process

Developing Grok3 is not an easy task. xAI executives said there are huge challenges in building the infrastructure needed to support such advanced artificial intelligence systems.

The team members said: "We are in a hurry because we want to launch Grok3 as soon as possible."

They mentioned that they decided to build their own data center and completed the first batch in just 122 days. The deployment of 100,000 GPUs set an industry record.

But the work did not stop there. In the following 92 days, the H100 GPU cluster size doubled and the computing power was significantly improved, providing strong support for the continuous optimization of Grok3.

Executives said: "Along the way, we have used these computing power to continuously improve our products."

03. The most eye-catching feature of creative AI that can "think"

Grok3 One is its creativity.

In the demonstration session, this AI demonstrated an amazing creative talent - it cleverly blended Tetris and Puyou Puyou game elements to design a brand new game.

This not only demonstrates Grok3's strength in the field of technology, but also proves its unlimited potential in creative fields such as entertainment and art.

xAI team said Grok3 will remainDaily updates to ensure you are always at the forefront of technology. This continuous optimization and upgrading mechanism allows Grok3 to continuously break through itself and maintain its leading advantage.

In the future, Grok3's creative capabilities are not limited to game design, but may also bring revolutionary changes to the fields of film script creation, music production, art design, etc.

As technology continues to advance, this AI that can "think" may redefine human perception of creativity.

04. Model and performance

Grok3 is actually not a single model, but a family of models, each model has its own unique functions.

Grok3 mini is a streamlined version of the model that provides faster responses, but may compromise on accuracy.

The other two versions, Grok3 Inference Edition and Grok3 mini Inference Edition, aim to carefully "think" the problem before giving solutions.

Users can use these inference models to solve complex problems through Grok applications.

xAI claims that Grok3 beats GPT-4o in benchmarks such as AIME and GPQA. Among them, AIME mainly tests the performance of models in mathematical problems, while GPQA focuses on scientific problems at the doctoral level.

Early versions of Grok3 were used in Chatbot Arena (a crowdsourcing test platform that compares multiple AI models based on user preference answers ) has also achieved quite competitive results.

In addition, xAI said that the Grok3 Inference Edition beat the highest version of o3-mini - o3-mini high in several popular benchmarks.

05. Future update

Musk announced that Grok3 will launch "voice mode" in the next few weeks. The model will also be integrated into xAI's enterprise API through the DeepSearch functionality.

At present, Grok3 will be open to Premium Plus subscription users on the X platform first.

At the same time, a new subscription service called SuperGrok is also launched for the Grok.com website and the Grok mobile application.

A few months later, xAI plans to open source Grok2, which follows their usual practice of opening up the previous version after the new version is fully launched.
