What is Grok 3?

Grok 3 is the latest model developed by Elon Musk’s AI company x.AI. It represents a significant leap in AI technology, bringing enhanced reasoning, unprecedented processing speed, and advanced decision-making capabilities to chatbots. The model possesses human-like thinking capabilities, allowing it to generate innovative solutions that may not be immediately obvious to people.

Grok 3 has undergone extensive training on one of the world’s most powerful AI supercomputers, Colossus, equipped with 200,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs! This computing power allows it to analyze, understand, and generate responses faster and more accurately than any existing AI model. Moreover, the model is designed to improve everyday offering unparalleled machine intelligence, even in the times to come.

Key Features of Grok 3

Here are the key features and capabilities of x.AI’s most advanced Grok 3:

1. Advanced Reasoning and Problem-Solving: Grok 3 boasts of enhanced reasoning capabilities that allows it to solve complex problems in innovative ways. Moreover it has outperformed existing models in logical reasoning and problem-solving internal benchmarks.
2. DeepSearch: It comes with agentic features that facilitates deep search within seconds. It also gives users the option of narrowing down the search to specific websites of sources.
3. Big Brain: This feature on Grok 3 makes the model generate a more comprehensive and well researched response, by spending more time to think on a query.
4. Responsible AI: Grok 3 is x.AI’s first chain-of-thought model that explains its thought process before responding. It also features AI alignment safeguards, including measures to prevent bias, misinformation, and manipulation.
5. Speed and Computational Power: Powered by the Colossus Supercomputer, the model boasts significantly improved response times and processing power. As per reports, it is thrice as fast as its predecessor, Grok 2, making it a more effective tool for real-time applications.
6. Voice Mode: It will soon feature a voice mode similar to ChatGPT, Gemini, and other AI chatbots.
7. Audio-to-text: It will also have the ability to convert audio to text, in the near future, further expanding its applications.

Benchmark Performance

Now that we have seen how fast and capable Grok 3 is, let’s see how it performs against other models like Gemini 2.0 Pro, DeepSeek-V3, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, o3-mini, and more.

Grok 3 consistently performs the best across all three benchmarks, indicating superior performance in diverse tasks compared to the other models. Although it was specifically trained for math and competitive coding, it manages to outperform other models in science and other subjects too.

In the AIME 2025 benchmark test, the Grok 3 models, both the Reasoning Beta and mini Reasoning versions outperform all the other models, when given more thinking time. Amongst the two Grok models, Grok 3 Reasoning Beta leads by a small margin.

Grok 3’s chocolate version even tops Chatbot Arena’s LLM leaderboard with a significant margin, showcasing it’s unparalleled capabilities. It leads with a score of 1402, while Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental model comes second, scoring 1385.
