“Grok 3 has very powerful reasoning capabilities, so in the tests that we’ve done thus far, Grok 3 is outperforming anything that’s been released, that we’re aware of, so that’s a good sign”.
-Elon Musk
Musk had founded xAI as a rival to ChatGPT after he left OpenAI back in 2018. When Emirati State Minister for AI Omar Sultan Al Olama asked what to expect from the upcoming Grok 3 model, Musk bragged that it was “scary smart” with “very powerful reasoning capabilities.”
A few days back, a consortium of investors led by Musk said it had offered $97.4 billion to buy the nonprofit that controls OpenAI. The move marked an attempt by the billionaire to stop OpenAI from becoming a for-profit company. He had even sued CEO Sam Altman and others in August, asking a U.S. district judge to block OpenAI’s attempt to transition to a for-profit entity.
“I think the evidence is there in that OpenAI has gotten this far while having at least a sort of dual profit, non-profit role. What they’re trying to do now is to completely delete the non-profit, and that seems really going too far.”
Musk may be bragging that his chatbot is superior to others, but Benjamin De Kraker, who worked on the human data team for Grok development, has differing opinions on the top AI models for code. According to De Kraker, OpenAI’s o1-pro, o1, and o3-mini are all tied for the top spot, while the unreleased Grok 3 is in fourth position. Only time will tell who is right.
