Grok 3 AI: The “Scary Smart” Model Redefining AI Benchmarks
Elon Musk’s xAI just dropped Grok 3 on February 19, 2025—and it’s already shattering records. Backed by 100,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs, this model isn’t just beating rivals like ChatGPT-4O and Gemini-2 Pro; it is far ahead of all other.
More about the AI model:
- It is the first AI to cross 96% accuracy in complex reasoning (AIME 2024).
- it outperforms humans in coding tasks (80% success on LiveCodeBench).
- Exclusive early access for X Premium+ subscribers.
