Elon Musk Unveils Grok 3 — a Chatbot That's “Frighteningly Smart”

Elon Musk’s company, xAI, is preparing to usher in a new era of artificial intelligence. In just a few weeks, the world will witness the debut of Grok 3 – a chatbot that, in Musk’s words, “surpasses all existing models, including ChatGPT and Gemini.” He made the announcement at the World Government Summit in Dubai, calling the development a “revolution in machine thinking.”

The new model doesn’t just process data—it learns from its own mistakes, building intricate chains of reasoning.

According to Musk, the chatbot exhibits a “frightening level of ingenuity,” offering solutions that even its developers didn’t anticipate. Training the model was a major technological challenge, requiring record-breaking computational power and millions of artificially generated data points.

In a crowded AI market dominated by ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, xAI is betting on radical transparency. Unlike OpenAI, which Musk criticizes for “straying from its original ideals,” Grok 3 is positioned as a tool with minimal censorship. Meanwhile, the company is also working on TruthGPT—an alternative to ChatGPT aimed at maximum objectivity.

If the launch of Grok 3 is successful, it could disrupt the industry. Insider reports suggest that xAI is already testing chatbot integration into the X social network (formerly Twitter). But the biggest question remains: is society ready for an AI that, as its creator puts it, “sometimes even scares those who built it”?
