▾Elon Musk and xAI unveiled the new AI model Grok 3. It already has a voice function
Elon Musk and xAI introduced Grok 3, a new powerful AI model that surpasses competition like GPT-4o. Grok 3 brings enhanced capabilities such as DeepSearch and a beta voice mode. The model also uses ten times more computational power compared to its predecessor and is available for X network users.
The company xAI, led by Elon Musk, officially unveiled its latest AI model Grok 3. This novelty, a response to models like GPT-4o from OpenAI and DeepSeek, brings improvements and new features, including voice interaction with the chatbot.
More powerful than ever
Grok 3 was developed over several months, with its launch originally planned for 2024. The model was trained in a massive data center in Memphis containing 200,000 GPUs, providing it ten times more computational power compared to the previous version Grok 2.
According to Musk, Grok 3 aims to be a "maximally truth-seeking AI," even if its answers may deviate from political correctness. Grok 3 is available in several variants. The smaller Grok 3 mini model offers faster responses but with slightly lower accuracy.
A special variant Grok 3 Reasoning is capable of deeper analysis and better answer verification. This technology builds on the same principle as OpenAI o3-mini or the Chinese model DeepSeek R1.
Outperforming the competition?
xAI claims that Grok 3 surpasses GPT-4o in key benchmark tests like AIME and GPQA, which assess the capability of models to solve mathematical and scientific tasks at a PhD level. Moreover, Grok 3 successfully participated in the Chatbot Arena testing platform, ranking among the most powerful models.
In addition, it brings other features. Users can, for example, activate the "Think" mode for more complex queries or use the "Big Brain" mode, which adds additional computational capacity for deeper analysis. There is also the DeepSearch feature available, combining internet analysis and the social network X to generate summaries of relevant information.
New voice function in beta
Grok 3 also newly includes voice integration, enabling communication with AI using voice commands and listening to responses. The feature is currently available only in beta for Premium+ users on the X network and can be activated in the Grok iOS app. An Android version will be available later.
In the coming weeks, xAI plans to add a "voice mode" to the Grok app, allowing the model to communicate by voice. In the following months, Grok 3 will then become available for corporate use via xAI API. Musk also announced plans to open-source the previous version Grok 2 in the future.
Artificial intelligence is not omnipotent. Where does the human still have the advantage?
Artificial intelligence can write articles, analyze data, and generate videos. However, there are skills and professions that this technology cannot (yet) replace. In the article, we will look at where humans still have the upper hand, why AI needs human supervision, and which abilities will become increasingly valuable to develop in the digital world.

Phishing in the Age of AI: How to Recognize a Fraudulent Email When It No Longer Looks Suspicious
Phishing attacks often appear credible and convincing today. Thanks to artificial intelligence, they sound personal, mimic well-known companies, and can be hard to detect. In this article, you'll learn how modern phishing works, why you should watch out for it, and how you can effectively protect yourself from it.
Passkeys: what it is and why you'll soon stop logging in with a password?
Forgotten passwords, recycled combinations, and fear of data leaks. Traditional login methods have their weak points. A new way to verify identity, known as passkeys, aims to change that. Without the need to remember anything and with a focus on security. How do they work, who is already using them today, and why are they becoming the new standard?
Edge computing: What it is and how it changes the future of the internet
Do you know edge computing? It is a method of data processing that shifts computing power closer to the data source. This significantly reduces latency and enables faster real-time decision-making. This technology is becoming key for IoT, autonomous vehicles, or smart cities and is gradually changing the internet as we know it. What does edge computing mean and how will it impact our future?
Digital identity: what will our virtual ID look like in the future?
Digital identity is becoming an integral part of modern society. What does it reveal about us? How does it work today, and what might it look like in the future? From blockchain to virtual IDs – let's look at the technologies changing the way we verify ourselves and protect our privacy in the world.
