Musk’s bot has seen less widespread adoption than DeepSeek’s namesake chatbot, which wowed the world weeks ago and caused panic in stock markets, as well as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini.
The billionaire CEO regularly spreads falsehoods to his 200 million followers on X. Musk said the bot leveraged “Big Brain” mode for more complex research tasks than a normal chatbot could conduct.
Asked on the day of Grok-3’s release to describe his efforts in Washington, the chatbot responded: “Musk’s involvement in the federal government has thus far been characterized by rapid, sweeping changes aimed at efficiency, but it has also sparked controversy over the methods, legality, and ethics of his approach.
Grok-3 debut comes at a critical moment in the AI arms race as Musk looks to compete with the Chinese AI firm DeepSeek, Microsoft-backed OpenAI and Google.
Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup xAI has introduced Grok-3, the latest iteration of its chatbot that integrates with X, formerly Twitter.
