Highlights xAI has launched the Grok 3 and Grok 3 mini AI models in a Live demo. Both models come with improved reasoning capabilities and aim to compete with top AI models like OpenAI’s GPT-4o and Google’s Gemini. Grok 3 is powered by a supercomputer with 200,000 GPUs and offers advanced reasoning, complex problem-solving and maximally truth-seeking AI. Meanwhile, Grok 3-mini is designed for quicker responses. Grok 3 is rolling out to Premium+ subscribers on X at first. A screengrab from the launch demo of Grok 3.

These new models come with improved reasoning capabilities and aim to compete with top AI models like OpenAI’s GPT-4o and Google’s Gemini. Grok AI has already been powering generative AI features on X (formerly Twitter) and analysing images. With Grok 3, xAI is taking things to the next level. Starting the launch demo streamed on his official X handle, Elon Musk explained the meaning of Grok saying, "The term comes from Robert Heinlein’s novel Stranger in a Strange Land. It’s used by a character raised on Mars and means to fully and profoundly understand something. The word ‘grok’ conveys deep understanding, and empathy is an important part of that.” “We’re very excited to present Grok3, which is, we think, an order of magnitude more capable than Grok2 in a very short period of time. And that’s thanks to the hard work of an incredible team, and I’m honoured to work with such a great team,” said Elon Musk at the launch demo. https://t.co/HTK4u2aYRu — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 18, 2025 During the live demonstration, xAI researcher Igor Babuschkin asked Grok 3 to calculate and plot a trajectory from Earth to Mars and back. The AI’s reasoning process, known as Chain of Thought (CoT), was visible. However, Musk mentioned that some of its internal logic is intentionally obscured to prevent AI distillation, a method used by developers to train AI by copying outputs from other models. Grok 3 was also asked to design a new video game combining elements of Tetris and Bejeweled. All you need to know to understand which company will win a technology competition is look at the first and second derivatives of the rate of innovation https://t.co/rImcrpzfeY — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 18, 2025 Grok 3 Powered by a Supercomputer with 200,000 GPUs Grok 3 has been trained on an enormous cluster of 200,000 GPUs at xAI’s Colossus supercomputer in Memphis, Tennessee, US. Built-in just six to eight months, Colossus gives Grok 3 10 times more computing power than its predecessor. Elon Musk described Grok 3 as “an order of magnitude more capable than Grok 2” and “maximally truth-seeking AI, even if that truth is sometimes at odds with what is politically correct.” Alongside Grok 3, xAI introduced Grok 3-mini, a smaller and faster version designed to respond to questions more quickly. Grok 3 - Advanced Reasoning and AI Benchmarks Grok 3 completed its pre-training in January 2025 and was tested across multiple AI benchmarks, including evaluations of math skills, code generation and scientific knowledge. A special "Reasoning" version of Grok 3 has also been introduced. Similar to OpenAI’s o1 and DeepSeek-R1, this model can ‘think through’ complex problems. xAI has released two variants: Grok 3 Reasoning Grok 3-mini Reasoning According to xAI, Grok 3 Reasoning outperformed the best version of OpenAI’s o3-mini in several benchmarks including AIME 2025, a new test for mathematical problem-solving. These reasoning models are now available on the Grok app. Since its launch nearly two years ago, Grok AI has positioned itself as an “anti-woke” alternative to mainstream AI models from companies like Google and OpenAI. Unlike competitors that enforce stricter safeguards, Grok is known for providing unfiltered responses, especially on political and sensitive topics. How to Access Grok 3? xAI is also offering a new subscription tier called Super Grok.
