Elon Musk Unveils Grok 3, His AI Chatbot Challenger

Elon Musk has announced that his AI chatbot, Grok 3, will be unveiled with a live demo on Tuesday. The tech billionaire stated this in a recent post on X, confirming an earlier statement that the AI chatbot was in final development stages.

Grok 3 is expected to make its debut at 9:30am IST on February 18 and will be powered by xAI’s Colossus supercomputer. The AI chatbot is touted as the “smartest AI on Earth” and has been built using machine learning techniques such as reinforcement learning, which reduces hallucinations and training times.

This marks a significant moment in the AI space, following a disruption caused by Chinese AI startup DeepSeek last month. Grok 3’s competitor, R1 from DeepSeek, is said to be comparable in performance to OpenAI’s o1 model at a lower cost.

Grok 2 was launched in August last year and can be accessed for free by signing up on X. xAI is reportedly set to raise $10 billion in funding, increasing its valuation to $75 billion.
