Grok 3.5 Will Soon Solve Complex Problems Without Internet Access

xAI is gearing up to launch an update for its AI assistant, Grok. As Elon Musk revealed on X, version 3.5 will roll out to SuperGrok subscribers in early May. The update will allow the neural network to solve challenging technical problems without accessing the internet. The system is currently undergoing final testing.

What sets Grok 3.5 apart from most other AI models is its ability to generate responses independently, drawing on internal analysis algorithms rather than preexisting online data. Musk claims this will enable the AI to handle highly specialized topics — such as rocket engine design or electrochemical calculations — and offer solutions that have never been published in open sources.

Experts note that a similar approach is already being used in the DeepSeek R1 model, where answers are formed through a chain of logical reasoning. However, Grok 3.5 appears poised to focus more heavily on precision within the scientific and technical domains. This method, however, demands significant computing power — likely one reason xAI is continuing to expand its infrastructure.

It remains unclear how this innovation will affect everyday chatbot usage. What is known is that early access will be limited to paid subscribers, with a broader rollout planned for later. If Grok delivers on its promises, it could become a valuable tool for engineers and researchers seeking to avoid cookie-cutter solutions. The real question is whether it can truly compete with traditional data analysis methods, where internet access remains a core asset.
