In this guide I will explain to you What exactly Grok 3 And what changes have reached the new model launched by XAI, the artificial intelligence company of Elon Musk. Discover what has changed in the most recent version and what requirements you must meet in order to prove it. Don't miss it!
What is Grok 3?
Grok 3 is the successor of Grok 2. It is a new language model launched by XAI that seeks to rival the most leading models of the momentlike Openai GPT-4. Grok, meanwhile, is the name that the chatbot receives from which it is possible to interact with the XAI models, which is a company owned by Elon Musk.
Currently, there are Two ways to access Xai language models. One of them is through X, the social network called Twitter. The other is with the application dedicated to Grok that Xai launched to Android and for iOS. However, if what you intend is to use Grok 3, that is, the most current model, it will touch you to go through the box.
At the time of its launch, in February 2025, Grok 3 It was only available for X Premium+ users. This is something that already happened with Grok 2, a model that finally opened to any user of X, whether or not it was paid. This precedent tells us that, although at first, Grok 3 is restricted to payment users, probably in the future will open to all. By the way, the necessary subscription price is some 22 euros per month. It is a price similar to that of chatgpt plus, although in this case other benefits for the social network X are included.
Grok 3 has been presented next to Grok 3 Minia smaller model that is much faster than his older brother, although he is not so capable. As usual in the language models labeled as Mini, the balance between the quality of the answers and the speed to generate them is sought. So, in reality, the launch has been double.
The novelties of Grok 3, a model that is put at the level of the competition
Grok 3 is an update that Xai needed to get at the level of the rest of competitors. In fact, according to official reports, these new models would overcome others, such as GPT-4O. This is only one of the novelties that arrive with Grok 3 and that reviews you below.
Very similar or even higher performance
During the presentation, those responsible for Xai, among which was Elon Musk, have shared some benchmark specialized in AI. Specifically, there are three results in which you can see that Grok 3 exceeds the rest of the main AI In fields such as mathematics, science and coding.
These are three concrete evidence and the data that XAI has shared, which is the company that develops the model, although it seems that they have already arrived External performance verifications that confirm the potential of Grok 3. with everything, if they are truthful, we could be before the AI model with the greatest capacity currently. Of course, this is just a very small sample and it remains to be seen if in other specialized tests it is able to overcome the rest of the models.
What is totally confirmed is that, at least, XAI has up to date on their models, which were trained with a Computing capacity 10 times higher than used with Grok 2. In fact, as it has been known, 100,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs were used to complete Grok 3 training.
Less filters to generate content
Something for what Grok 2 has highlighted is for allowing the user to generate images of celebrities without too many restrictions. In fact, Elon Musk has always presumed that his AI has no censorshipalthough the truth is that many of the answers to certain controversial questions are very similar to those offered by other chatbots.
In any case, the point is that, on paper, Grok 3 can generate Content with content without too many restrictions. As soon as it has some moderation filters, so technically, it is capable of addressing issues in which others are strongly restricted, such as politics.
Reasoning capacity
Grok 3 gets on the car of the Reasoning models. It is the same as the reasoning button in Chatgpt: it forces the model to spend more time to solve the problem, to assess different responses and choose the most appropriate. Something striking is that, unlike Deepseek or Chatgpt, Grok 3 does not show the reasoning chain that is following. This is totally hidden to the user (already the competition, of course).
What does resemble competition is that the ability to simulate human reasoning It is optional. It must be activated explicitly to be used when preparing the answer, leaving this decision at the user's discretion.
A voice mode arrives
Another novelty is that They have taught Grok 3 to speak out loud. This is not a new function, but already have other competitors. For example, we already have Gemini Live available or advanced voice mode in Chatgpt. The premise is simple: the user can communicate with AI as if he spoke by phone with a real person.
Grok 2 passes to Open Source
Finally, another novelty is that Grok 2, the model that will be relegated by this new version, will become open source. That means that it will be available to the community to continue its development or implement it in any project without paying anything, as with Depseek or Meta call.
