Musk Drops ‘Scary Smart’ AI, Grok 3

Elon Musk isn’t holding back.

Grok 3, the latest AI model from xAI, was announced on X yesterday and Musk is already calling it the “smartest AI on Earth.”

Whether that’s marketing hype or a real leap forward, we’re about to find out.

What’s making Grok 3 stand out:

• It’s trained on 200,000 GPUs, giving it 10x the muscle of Grok 2 at an “order above” the previous version.

• Unlike its predecessors (or most LLMs today), Grok 3 is trained on AI-generated datasets designed to simulate real-world scenarios, supposedly reducing bias and improving accuracy.

• Grok models have been known for allowing more controversial topics and figures in prompts—unlike OpenAI and Anthropic. Looks like that trend will continue with Grok 3.

• According to xAI, Grok 3 beats GPT-4o on several benchmarks, including PhD-level physics and biology questions. The model will begin rolling out on Monday.

So What?

Musk is making big claims, and it looks like Grok 3 is proving itself against OpenAI, DeepSeek, and other major players.

Grok 3's pricing is bold: X Premium+ users ($40/month) get early access, while others can opt for the new "SuperGrok" plan. At a rumored $30/month (or $300/year), it includes all the bells and whistles – better reasoning, DeepSearch, and endless image generation.

Once we get access, we’ll be giving our take too!

Explore Deep Research with Perplexity

So Deep Research is definitely a trend that’s here to stay. Google came out with this first, and we’ve seen OpenAI follow suit. Last week Perplexity released its own version of the capability that can deliver detailed analyses in minutes.

I gave it a spin myself… and it’s very detailed and extremely efficient.

Here’s how you can use it yourself:

1. Navigate to Perplexity.

2. Below the message box, enable Deep Research.

3. Enter a topic you want to start researching.

4. Download your findings as a PDF for easy sharing!

Here’s a prompt that I tested out, give it a spin yourself:

Come up with a unique business plan for a SaaS to generate $1M ARR.

If you want to see how that panned out… I used that in a side-by-side comparison with Gemini’s in a recent video 👇️
