Elon Musk's AI company, xAI, has launched its latest AI model, Grok 3, which significantly outperforms its predecessor, Grok 2, due to enhanced training capabilities facilitated by a new data center in Memphis, Tennessee. Grok 3, along with its reasoning model, aims to compete with leading AI models like OpenAI's GPT-4o and Google's Gemini. Within 24 hours of its release, Grok 3 has dominated AI benchmarks and leaderboards, including the Chatbot Arena, where it became the first model to break a 1400 score.

Additionally, xAI introduced DeepSearch, a feature that allows Grok to conduct thorough web research and present its thought process and findings. Grok 3 is available in beta through the X Premium+ subscription, which costs $40 per month, and a new subscription tier, SuperGrok, is set to be introduced for advanced capabilities. Users can also engage with Grok 3 in the Chatbot Arena, where it continues to perform strongly against other leading models.
