xAI to Unveil Grok 3 Chatbot
Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup, xAI, is set to release its highly anticipated Grok 3 chatbot on Monday. Musk has promoted it as the “smartest AI on Earth,” as it prepares to enter the increasingly competitive AI market. The chatbot will be demonstrated live at 8:00 PM Pacific Time, Musk announced on his social media platform X.
Grok 3’s Capabilities and Features
Grok 3 has been developed using synthetic data and boasts the ability to reflect on its mistakes by revisiting data to achieve logical consistency. Musk has stated that he will spend the weekend fine-tuning the product before its official release, signaling a final push for the highly anticipated AI model.
xAI Competes in a Crowded AI Landscape
xAI is entering a competitive field that already includes established players like OpenAI’s ChatGPT. The release of Grok 3 comes as the AI market expands rapidly, with new competitors like Chinese startup DeepSeek posing a challenge to the dominance of U.S. companies in AI development. DeepSeek recently surpassed ChatGPT in downloads on the Apple App Store, adding more pressure to Musk’s efforts.
Musk’s Investment in AI
Despite his warnings about the potential risks of AI to humanity, Musk has been aggressively pursuing investments in the sector. In December, xAI raised $6 billion in funding, with support from major investors, including chipmakers Nvidia and AMD, as well as funds from Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Musk’s company, valued at $75 billion, is among the most valuable AI startups in the world, though it still lags behind OpenAI in terms of market share.
Musk’s Expanding Business Ventures
Musk, who also leads SpaceX and Tesla, founded xAI in July 2023, shortly after signing an open letter calling for a pause in the development of advanced AI models. His ventures continue to shape the future of technology, with xAI positioning itself as a key player in the AI revolution.
In related news, OpenAI recently rejected Musk’s $97.4 billion offer to purchase the company, reinforcing the growing rivalry between Musk’s xAI and other AI leaders.
