We recently compiled a list of the Top 8 Must-See AI News Updates Investors Should Not Miss. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Wix.Com Ltd. (NASDAQ:WIX) stands against the other AI stocks.
On 17th February, xAI launched its updated Grok 3 AI model as part of efforts to stay at par with the evolving reasoning and search capabilities showcased by global competitor models. During an event live-streamed on X, xAI leaders claimed that the latest version of Grok 3 is better than Gemini, GPT-4o, Claude 3.5, and DeepSeek’s V3 models in terms of math, science, and coding benchmarks.
xAI also highlighted the tool’s latest features, which include advanced web searching with “deep search,” coding abilities for online games, and a “big brain” mode for complex problems. The xAI announcement comes as the global AI race heats up amid China’s advancements in this space.
While the cost-effective DeepSeek AI and the Qwen 2.5 models triggered a $1.3 trillion market rally in China, the mainland could witness further economic boost after recently announcing breakthroughs in quantum computing, focusing on quantum communications. However, analysts warn of data-driven surveillance and global data-centric authoritarianism in tandem with quantum advances.
“First, quantum computing is expected to eventually enable any state or non-state actor that possesses this technology to circumvent encryption that protects communications,” the analysts state. “Second, if the quantum communications providers who are first-movers in this space adopt cryptography standards and equipment that include backdoors for official government use, information conveyed over quantum networks will be vulnerable to state surveillance — potentially either by the governments that import these technologies, or by the home countries of companies that provide quantum services.”
