Grok 3 is Musk's latest AI powerhouse, but despite its rapid progress, experts say it's still not enough to dethrone ChatGPT as the top AI model. Is it true?

Elon Musk’s startup xAI is scheduled to release the AI chatbot Grok 3 today at 8:00 p.m. Pacific time, according to a post by Musk on X (formerly Twitter). Positioned as a direct competitor to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Grok 3 is expected to showcase advanced reasoning capabilities.

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup xAI has introduced Grok-3, the latest iteration of its chatbot, as it looks to compete with Chinese AI firm DeepSeek, Microsoft-backed OpenAI, and Alphabet's Google.

Elon Musk revealed his new chatbot, Grok 3, on Monday. Maria Curi, tech policy reporter for Axios, joined CBS News to discuss the new product.

According to xAI’s blog, Grok 3 leverages Test-Time Compute at Scale (TTCS), a specific implementation of test-time scaling, to power its reasoning. This machine learning strategy enables the A.I. model to dynamically adjust computational resources, ensuring higher accuracy for complex queries while maintaining speed for simpler tasks.

Musk’s artificial intelligence startup xAI debuted its updated Grok-3 model, showcasing a version of the chatbot technology to challenge OpenAI.

Now that Grok 3 from Elon Musk's xAI is officially live, how does it stack up against its competitors? Musk launched the Grok 3 model family on Monday in a livestream on X. The announcement also included reasoning models Grok 3 Reasoning in beta and Grok 3 mini Reasoning.

"The word Grok [means] to fully and profoundly understand something," Musk said on the livestream, noting that the word came from the 1961 novel "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Am
