Grok 3 is out — breakdown
xAI quietly rolled out Grok 3. Here’s what’s happening:
𝟭. 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆?
Available to X Premium+ subscribers (price nearly doubled, but if you subscribed earlier — congrats, you won capitalism).
There are leaks about SuperGrok — a separate subscription without X features, purely for AI. Rumored to be $30/month or $300/year, but not launched yet.
On grok.com, not everyone has access to the chat model Grok 3 or Reasoner yet. In short, it’s inconsistent.
𝟮. 𝗛𝗼𝘄’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲?
The Grok 3 chat model outperforms other chatbots, but lags behind the latest Reasoners.
Grok 3 Mini Reasoning is only behind OpenAI o3 (see the X graphs with reported results).
Few benchmarks available. How it performs on harder tests (Frontier Math, Humanity’s Last Exam) is still unclear.
Interestingly, Grok 3 Reasoning is weaker than Mini Reasoning. xAI explains this by saying that Mini was trained much longer. Expect performance gains as Grok 3 continues training.
𝟯. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘄?
Deep Search — a competitor to Deep Research from others.
Voice input — promised native support in a couple of weeks.
𝟰. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗮𝘄 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗲
No blog post, no API.
Reasoner is being rolled out selectively, with no clear timeline.
Feels like they rushed to beat another release.
𝟱. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 — those who got access to Reasoner are generally impressed.
