On February 17, xAI – the artificial intelligence (AI) company of billionaire Elon Musk revealed the latest version of the Grok chatbot, hoping to make a significant impact in the AI field with this new release.
According to Mr. Musk, Grok 3 was built to understand the nature of the universe and provide the ultimate truth. Grok 3 is “scary smart,” with 10 times the computing power of the previous version. This version is trained on synthetic data and incorporates self-correcting mechanisms to avoid errors, also known as “illusions.” Mr. Musk assessed that Grok 3 will be a chatbot that is superior to any other AI model on the market.
Grok 3 will initially be available to subscribers of the Premium+ paid plan of X platform, which Musk acquired in 2022, before expanding to a wider audience.

Grok 3 is expected to become a formidable competitor in the rapidly growing AI market. Recently, Chinese startup DeepSeek also made waves when it “launched” the R1 chatbot with low cost and high quality, challenging the US dominance in this field.
The new chatbot will also compete directly with OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Elon Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015, but left the company’s board in 2018 to focus on developing electric carmaker Tesla and space exploration company SpaceX. Since then, Musk’s relationship with his former company has soured, with recent tensions surrounding his attempt to acquire OpenAI for nearly $100 billion.
Musk’s role in the Trump administration has also raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest. He has become a key adviser to the president, particularly on AI regulation, and heads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is reforming the country’s bureaucracy. Critics have argued that Musk’s involvement in AI policy could give him an unfair advantage, given his significant commercial interests in the field.
