Summary
Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, has released a new AI model, Grok 3, which it claims outperforms leading competitors according to key technical benchmarks.
The model has better scores in mathematics, scientific reasoning and coding tasks than OpenAI’s GPT-4o, Google’s Gemini and DeepSeek’s V3 model.
One of the key innovations in Grok 3 is the DeepSearch feature, which combines web searching with reasoning capabilities to analyse information from multiple sources.
Grok 3 has a ‘Think’ function, which shows the model’s reasoning process, and a ‘Big Brain’ mode to allocate more computing power to difficult tasks.
However, early tests show that it sometimes fabricates citations and struggles with certain types of humour and ethical reasoning tasks.
