The Grok 3 models offer enhanced reasoning capabilities, allowing users to engage the chatbot's "Think" function for complex queries in mathematics, science, and programming. For even more intricate questions, users can utilize the "Big Brain" feature, which requires additional computing power. The models also power DeepSearch, a new feature described as a "next generation search engine" that scans the internet and X for research summaries. Additionally, xAI announced that the Grok app will soon include a "voice mode" for synthesized voice interactions, and Grok 2 models will be open-sourced in the coming months.
