The AI industry is in a frenzy. While Apple is partnering with Alibaba for AI features, and Hugging Face is releasing a new small language model, Elon Musk’s Grok AI model may have lost its charm – but not for long.

At the World Governments Summit in Dubai, Musk dropped a scoop on xAI’s next-generation chatbot, Grok 3, the successor to Grok 2. Not only did he reveal the expected release timeline, he also hinted at the potential performance of the chatbot. 

To start with, Musk said, “Grok 3 is outperforming anything that’s been released that we’re aware of…At times, I think Grok 3 is kind of scary smart.”

He revealed that the chatbot offers solutions that are not obvious. In the discussions, he shared that Grok 3 was trained with the most compute power and synthetic data.

The AI model goes back and forth through the data and tries to achieve logical consistency. If it gets data that is wrong, the chatbot will reflect upon that and remove the data in question.

“Its base reasoning is very good; in fact, even without fine-tuning Grok 3, the base model is better than Grok 2,” he highlighted.

Addressing the anticipation, he mentioned that Grok 3 is in the final stages of polishing and that it might be released in another week or two. Even with the expected timeline, he emphasised that he does not want to be hasty in the release because the final polish is necessary for a great user experience.
