X broadcast of the Grok 3 reveal and demo.
AI expert, Ian Miles Chong, has used Grok 3 and says it is the best.
It has thinking harder mode and supergrok version $30/month will be out in a week.
Elon Musk says – Voice mode is still a little patchy, so probably launches in about a week, but it’s awesome.
xAI is raising another $10 billion at a valuation of $75 billion. Elon Musk still owns over half of xAI. Successfully raising those funds will mean he has nearly $40 billion of value in xAI.
IF it is the best AI in the world then xAI will get closer to the valuations for OpenAI. OpenAI has raised at $150 billion and Softbank was in talks to invest $40 billion at a $300 billion valuation.
xAI Grok 3 will have a voice version which will be installed into Tesla cars.
xAI Grok 3 was trained using the 100,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs at the Colossus data center. Colossus has been expanded with another 100,000 H100 and H200 chips and xAI has also been adding more powerful B200 chips.
