The AI startup launched its first stand-alone consumer app, as the company tries to catch up with more established players such as OpenAI and Google in the generative AI race.

Elon Musk’s AI startup, xAI, has launched its first standalone app for Grok, the chatbot designed to challenge giants like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard.

Elon Musk has announced that xAI's Grok 3 large language model (LLM) has been pretrained, and took 10X more compute power than Grok 2. He did not reveal many details, but based on timing, the Grok 3 LLM was pre-trained on the Colossus supercluster, which contains some 100,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs.
