Elon Musk’s xAI unleashed Grok 3, aiming to topple ChatGPT and DeepSeek. The new AI model boasts better reasoning and beefy compute power. Grok 3, ChatGPT, and DeepSeek now duke it out for chatbot supremacy. Musk hyped Grok 3 on X, showing off its skills. Yet, experts waver on its edge. Here’s how Grok 3 stacks up against the big dogs.
Musk dropped Grok 3 Reasoning and Grok 3 Mini Reasoning in a live stream. Unlike older AI, Grok 3 thinks through problems to cut errors. xAI says it beats OpenAI’s o1 and DeepSeek-R1 in tests. Blind trials at Chatbot Arena ranked Grok 3—codenamed “chocolate”—near the top. Still, Grok 3, ChatGPT, and DeepSeek keep the race tight. Late to the game, Grok 3 catches up fast.
Grok 3 vs. ChatGPT and DeepSeek: The Edge
Grok 3 flexes new tricks, but can it dethrone ChatGPT? AI guru Andrej Karpathy tested Grok 3 early. He said it nails thinking tasks, like Settlers of Catan puzzles. Grok 3 rivals OpenAI’s pricey o1-pro and edges DeepSeek-R1, he noted. Yet, Karpathy doubts it’ll sway ChatGPT fans. Grok 3, ChatGPT, and DeepSeek all shine, but compute power rules. Ethan Mollick, an AI prof, said Grok 3 meets hype, not more.
xAI’s bold charts show Grok 3 on top. OpenAI’s Rex Asabor pushed back with o3 data, beating Grok 3 in math and science. That model’s not out yet, so skepticism lingers. Grok 3, ChatGPT, and DeepSeek trade blows, and the fight’s far from done.
Grok 3’s Rapid Rise
Grok 3 grows fast despite xAI’s 2023 start. Google and OpenAI had years—13 and 8—while Grok 3 zooms with 200,000 GPUs. Musk said it’s 10 times stronger than Grok 2. Mashable calls it a leap, but limits linger. Grok 3, ChatGPT, and DeepSeek wrestle with humor—think dad jokes. SVG art trips them up too, though Grok 3 beats some rivals. Bias bugs Musk, who wants Grok 3 neutral, not “woke” like others.
For X Premium+ users at $50 monthly, Grok 3 rolls out first. It’s slick for coding and free speech, Decrypt says. Still, ChatGPT and DeepSeek lead in math smarts. Grok 3 joins the chat, but it’s no king yet.
