Elon Musk Unleashes Grok 3 — the latest marvel from xAI
Grok 3, The Next Leap in AI Innovation. The Grok journey began back in 2023 when xAI, founded by Elon Musk, set out to create an AI that could assist humans in understanding the universe. The first Grok model launched in November 2023, inspired by the wit of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and the futuristic vision of JARVIS from Iron Man.
Grok 2 followed, bringing improvements in reasoning and real-time data integration via the X platform. By mid-2024, it was already outperforming some big names in the AI world. But xAI didn’t stop there. On February 18, 2025, Grok 3 was unveiled — claiming as the “smartest AI on Earth” by Musk himself.
According to Musk and three of xi’s engineers, grock 3 is an order of magnitude better than Grok 2 which basically means it’s about 10 times more powerful. XAI says they trained it in a massive Data Center in Memphis Tennessee featuring around 200,000 Graphics processing units imagine a huge facility with Road and rows of GPUs churning through data 24/7.
According to xai’s internal benchmarks Grok 3 actually beats all the competitors in areas like math, science and coding.
