Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup xAI debuted its updated Grok-3 model, showcasing a version of the chatbot technology to challenge OpenAI days after the billionaire’s unsolicited cash bid to buy the company was rejected.

At a live stream launch, the company claims that Grok-3 beats OpenAI’s GPT-4o, Alphabet’s Google Gemini, DeepSeek’s V3 model, and Anthropic’s Claude across maths, science and coding benchmarks. Grok-3 has “more than 10 times” the compute power of its predecessor and completed pre-training in early January, Musk said in a presentation alongside three xAI engineers.
