Elon Musk has announced that his AI startup, xAI, will launch its latest chatbot, Grok 3, on Monday at 8:00 PM Pacific Time (0400 GMT). Musk claims it will be the “smartest AI on Earth” as competition in the AI industry intensifies.
Trained on synthetic data, allowing it to learn and improve efficiently.
Can analyze its own errors to ensure logical consistency in responses.
Musk stated he will be fine-tuning the product all weekend and will remain offline until the official launch.
Raised $6 billion in December from investors like Nvidia, AMD, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.
The company is now among the world’s most valuable AI startups, though still smaller than OpenAI.
Rising AI Competition
Chinese startup DeepSeek recently outperformed ChatGPT in App Store downloads, posing a new challenge to US dominance in AI.
xAI aims to compete with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, and other leading AI models.
Musk launched xAI in July 2023, months after signing a letter urging a pause in AI development.
On Friday, OpenAI’s board rejected a $97.4 billion buyout offer led by Musk.
Despite his warnings about AI risks, Musk is pushing aggressively to secure a leading position in the AI market. 🚀
