▾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.
What are AI agents and how can they help you today?
AI agents are no longer just an experiment of tech companies. They are increasingly appearing in tools we use every day and can independently plan, decide, and execute tasks. We explain what an AI agent is, how it differs from a regular chatbot, and where it can actually save you time and energy.
What is cache and how to clear it
The concept of cache appears in browsers, phone settings, and when troubleshooting websites, but few know what it exactly means. Cache aims to speed up data loading, but sometimes it can be rather a hindrance. Let's explain what cache memory is, how it works in practice, and when it's sensible to clear it.
digital carbon footprint: how the internet and online services burden the planet
Everyday online activities have a real energy footprint that quickly multiplies in total. In the article, we will look at what digital carbon footprint means, how much energy regular internet use costs, and which activities burden the environment the most. Areas where consumption is growing the fastest and impact is not immediately visible deserve special attention.
Is blue light really a problem? The answer isn't so simple
The topic of blue light has led to many simplifications and unnecessary fears. Blue light exposure before sleep is often discussed, but its impact is not limited to just sleep. Let's put things in context, separate facts from myths, and see when it makes sense to address its effects and when it is more about excessive concern.
Are you chatting with a human or a bot? How to identify AI in chat
Online chats are often handled by artificial intelligence today, and at first glance, the responses appear to be from a real person. This is especially true for customer support, where speed and fluency are key. We'll look at how to identify AI in chat, what signs you can use to distinguish it from a human, and where the line of recognition becomes very thin.
What is ransomware and why does it no longer threaten only large companies?
Ransomware attacks are among the most common cyber threats today and are no longer just a concern for large companies. Just one careless click can cost you access to your data. We'll explain what ransomware is, how it works, and why attackers are increasingly targeting average users and smaller businesses.
