Grok 3: Power meets controversy

_{NEWS OF THE DAY}
📰 Grok 3: A breakthrough AI or a censored reality?

Elon Musk’s Grok 3 has shaken up the AI race, outperforming OpenAI’s GPT-4o, Claude 3.5, and Gemini 2 Pro on key benchmarks. But just as xAI celebrated its success, users uncovered bias concerns, with the model refusing to provide negative details about Musk and Donald Trump—despite Musk branding it as “maximally truth-seeking.”

The inside scoop

• Grok 3 became the first AI to score 1400 on Chatbot Arena, proving that scaling still delivers results.

• xAI’s 200,000-GPU Colossus supercluster pushed Grok 3 to new heights in coding, math, and research tasks.

• Users found Grok 3 avoiding negative topics about Musk and Trump, sparking backlash over its “unfiltered” claims.

• xAI’s Igor Babuschkin blamed a former OpenAI employee for censoring responses, calling it “a bad failure.”

Our thoughts?

Grok 3’s success proves that AI is still scaling, but trust is just as important as performance. If Musk’s AI isn’t as “truth-seeking” as promised, how different is it from the models he’s criticized?
