Elon Musk’s xAI has officially unveiled Grok 3, its most advanced AI model to date, setting new benchmarks in reasoning, mathematics, coding, and world knowledge. Powered by the Colossus supercluster with a 10x increase in compute power, Grok 3 significantly outperforms its predecessors, making it a serious contender in the AI landscape.
Unparalleled Reasoning and Advanced Problem-Solving
One of Grok 3’s most groundbreaking features is its enhanced reasoning capabilities. Trained with large-scale reinforcement learning, it can now think for extended periods—ranging from seconds to minutes—allowing it to correct errors, explore alternative solutions, and verify its own answers just like a human would. Users can engage these abilities by pressing the “Think” button, which provides insight into the model’s reasoning process.
This test-time compute reasoning has been introduced with Grok 3 (Think) and Grok 3 Mini (Think)—beta models that optimize complex problem-solving, backtracking, and step simplification. Whether tackling advanced mathematics, scientific queries, or coding challenges, Grok 3 delivers results with unmatched accuracy.
Benchmark Domination: Outperforming the Competition
Grok 3 has been tested rigorously across multiple academic and real-world benchmarks, securing industry-leading results:
- AIME 2025 (American Invitational Mathematics Examination): 93.3% accuracy, showing dominance in competition-level mathematics.
- Graduate-Level Expert Reasoning (GPQA): 84.6%, excelling in high-level scientific inquiries.
- LiveCodeBench for Code Generation: 79.4%, demonstrating superior performance in software development.
- MMMU (Multimodal Understanding): 78%, excelling in image and video comprehension.

| SimpleQA | 43.6% | 38.2% | 44.3% | 24.9% | 28.4% |
| MMMU (Multimodal Understanding) | 73.2% | 69.1% | 72.7% | N/A | 70.4% |
| EgoSchema (Video Understanding) | 74.5% | 72.2% | 71.9% | N/A | N/A |
With a 1-million-token context window—eight times larger than previous models—Grok 3 sets a new standard for processing large documents, complex queries, and information retrieval accuracy.
Introducing Grok 3 Mini: Efficiency Meets Intelligence
Alongside Grok 3, xAI has launched Grok 3 Mini, an optimized model designed for cost-efficient reasoning. It excels in STEM applications and code generation, achieving:
- 95.8% on AIME 2024
- 80.4% on LiveCodeBench
This makes Grok 3 Mini ideal for users needing powerful AI reasoning with optimized compute costs.
DeepSearch: AI Beyond Basic Search
To push AI usability even further, xAI has rolled out DeepSearch, an advanced AI agent designed for real-time information retrieval and synthesis. Unlike traditional browser searches, DeepSearch queries vast datasets, resolves conflicting information, and delivers concise, factual summaries.
Whether you’re analyzing breaking news, conducting in-depth research, or looking for expert insights, DeepSearch goes beyond simple keyword searches to provide nuanced, high-quality answers.
Future Roadmap: What’s Next for Grok 3?
Grok 3’s development is ongoing, with frequent updates planned for tool use, code execution, and enhanced agent functionalities. In addition, Grok 2 is set to become open-source, paving the way for further community-driven innovation.
Availability & Access
Grok 3 is now available to 𝕏 Premium and Premium+ users on 𝕏 (Twitter) and Grok.com. Premium+ users gain priority access to advanced features such as Think mode and DeepSearch, with higher usage limits.
A new SuperGrok subscription tier has also been introduced, granting early access to cutting-edge AI capabilities.
Final Thoughts: Is Grok 3 the Future of AI?
With its unrivaled computational power, reasoning capabilities, and real-time search integration, Grok 3 is shaping up to be one of the most advanced AI models available. Whether you need assistance with complex problem-solving, coding, or real-world data retrieval, Grok 3 is built to redefine the way AI interacts with knowledge and intelligence.
As AI competition continues to heat up, xAI’s latest innovation cements its position as a leader in the race for next-gen artificial intelligence.
