Elon Musk’s Xai announces the latest AI Flagship model, Grok 3, Monday. The company also announced the Grok 3 Mini, a zoomed version, plus the addition of DeepSearch, a new tool the company calls the next-generation search engine. XAI adds new features for Grok 3 web and mobile applications, as well as a subscription service specifically for Grok users, called SuperGrok.
“We are very happy to showcase the Grok 3, and we think it’s more capable than the Grok 2 in a very short time,” Musk said. Xai’s live broadcast X. The Grok 3 was trained on 200,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs, which is twice as good as the Grok 2. The team said it took 92 days to expand its Memphis supercomputer, known as Colossus, to accommodate the training of the Grok 3.
Musk said in his speech that the Grok 3 has 15 times the power of the Grok 2 Although in the previous X post, he said ten times. This model is trained on information scope User posts from x arrive Court Documents.
Grok 3 faces fierce competition from Openai, Google and Anthropic, all of which have released new AI models in 2025, or are planning to do so.
Google Gemini 2.0 added useful features in early February, Openai plan unification All AI models when GPT-5 is started Later in 2025. Meanwhile, Anthropic’s next new AI model may be How many weeks.
How to try Grok 3
Grok 3 will be launched to X Premium Plus members starting February 18, and they will now have exclusive access, including access to DeepSearch. This is a small win for these users, just like X has been recently Increase the premium price from $16 to $22.
Eventually, XAI will launch SuperGrok, a subscription service specifically for Grok 3, which includes DeepSearch, higher image generation restrictions and access to Grok 3 Mini features (such as Think). Prices were not displayed during the demonstration.
The benchmark compares the Grok 3 and Grok 3 Mini to the match.
“Scary clever”
“Grok 3 has very strong reasoning skills,” Musk said during a period Interview on February 13 With CNBC. “In the tests we’ve done so far, the Grok 3 has outperformed anything we know. Sometimes, I think the Grok 3 is horrible.”
Of course, there is no feature to test Grok 3 yet. The team mentioned that Groke might answer believe It’s true – otherwise no mention of the preferred output of Grok 2 Hallucination Or the frequency of Grok 3 that will do this.

DeepSearch
In addition to Grok 3, the XAI team has also announced DeepSearch, described as the first generation of Grok 3 agents, allowing users to ask questions and receive answers. It is called the “next generation search engine” in live streaming.
Openai and Google Have similar proxy-based searches. Both are called in-depth research.
DeepSearch shows users the experience of a single step 3, from thinking about problems to research, and then answers. The demo took about a minute and included 15 X posts and 32 web pages as references.
Another feature of DeepSearch is the ability to view Grok 3’s reasoning. After asking a question about March Madness, the team used the feature to show how Grok 3 came to the conclusion.
“Maybe, I should look at team rankings, performances in the regular season, any injuries or key player status, and maybe some historical data about their performance in the game,” Grok 3 revealed during an inquiry.
This is a Chinese artificial intelligence company DeepSeek – The platform was launched in January – including the reasoning process when answering queries.
Grok 3 conducted an in-depth search on SpaceX’s next Starship release.
Grok vs. competitors
Grok is not alone, an expert told CNET that there might be something to catch up.
“While the results of the advanced benchmark are impressive, it illustrates more about the general movement of models with reasoning capabilities or proxy AI than what they do with the personal competitiveness of the model,” said Paul Schell, an industry analyst. ABI research. “We considered a wider listing, which covered marketing strategies and partnerships built by model builders. Here, Human and Openai are ahead of Grok.”
The difference between Grok and rival Schell Sais is that “Grok 3’s DeepSearch is easy to access real-time information from the Internet, unlike OpenAI’s Deep Research product.”
But he also noted that when searching, Openai’s product “seems to be deeper” and takes up to 30 minutes to complete a task.
