Elon Musk Announces Unveiling of "Smartest AI on Earth" Grok 3 Chatbot
xAI, the AI startup founded by Elon Musk in 2023, is set to unveil its highly anticipated Grok 3 chatbot on Monday. Musk has hailed the chatbot as the "smartest AI on Earth" and teased its capabilities as "scary smart."
The announcement follows the recent release of DeepSeek's R1 AI model, which sent shockwaves through the market and raised concerns about the potential dominance of Chinese AI. Grok 3 is expected to offer comparable reasoning capabilities to OpenAI's GPT-3 model at a potentially lower cost.
Musk has indicated that Grok 3 has outperformed existing AI models in testing and has the ability to review and self-correct based on synthetic data. This feature is designed to ensure logical consistency and reduce the impact of incorrect data on the bot's reasoning process.
The live demo of Grok 3 is scheduled for 8 p.m. PT on Monday. Musk has emphasized the importance of providing a seamless user experience and has been working closely with the team to finalize the product. xAI plans to hire thousands of people this year to support the training and development of the chatbot.
