Elon Musk’s xAI unveils ‘scary smart’ Grok 3 AI chatbot; to rival ChatGPT and DeepSeek

Elon Musk-owned xAI has unveiled the latest model of its chatbot, Grok 3. Set to directly compete with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Chinese DeepSeek and other AI chatbots, Grok 3 is claimed to offer 10 times the computational resources of its predecessor that was released in August last year. In a video call with the World Governments Summit in Dubai, Musk said “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”.

During the conference, Musk termed Grok 3 as “scary smart”. He said: “At times I think Grok 3 is scary smart”. The chatbot is expected to run on xAI’s Colossus supercomputer, which reportedly uses over 100,000 Nvidia GPU hours to train AI models.
