  • Grok was used in a Heinlein novel by a character who was on Mars. Grok means to fully understand something. xAI started with 8K GPUs and is now over 100K GPU chips. It took 122 days to install the 100K chips. It took 92 days to install another 100K chips to get to 200K chips.

The article from NextBigFuture discusses the anticipated advancements in xAI's AI model, Grok 3, which is expected to be significantly superior to its predecessor, Grok 2. Elon Musk has hinted that Grok 3 will be an "order of magnitude" better, suggesting substantial improvements in performance, capabilities, or efficiency. The article speculates on what this might mean, potentially including better natural language understanding, more advanced reasoning capabilities, or enhanced integration with real-world applications. It also touches on the broader implications for AI development, with xAI aiming to accelerate human scientific discovery, and how Grok 3 could play a pivotal role in this mission. However, specific details on the improvements or the exact release timeline for Grok 3 are not provided, leaving room for speculation and anticipation within the tech community.
