Musk Unveils Grok-3 AI Model to Rival OpenAI

Grok-3 has 'more than 10 times' compute power of its predecessor: Musk
Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup xAI debuted its updated Grok-3 model, showcasing a version of the chatbot technology to challenge OpenAI days after the billionaire's unsolicited cash bid to buy the company was rejected.
Across math, science and coding benchmarks, Grok-3 beats OpenAI's GPT-4, Alphabet Inc.'s Google Gemini, DeepSeek's V3 model and Anthropic's Claude, xAI said via a live stream on Monday.
Grok-3 has "more than 10 times" the compute power of its predecessor and completed pre-training in early January, Musk said in a presentation alongside three xAI engineers.
Musk's performance claims, which have not been independently verified, ramp up an increasingly bitter rivalry between his startup and OpenAI. He launched xAI in 2023 as an alternative to the ChatGPT maker, which he's publicly criticized for its plans to restructure as a for-profit business.
