Musk’s xAI is the latest to claim its new model is better than OpenAI’s
Another day, another AI model that’s supposedly better than that of industry leader OpenAI.
This week, xAI, which shares a CEO and a close relationship with Tesla, released its flagship model Grok 3, which is actually a family of models that are an “order of magnitude more capable than Grok 2.” Importantly, xAI claims it beats GPT-4o on common AI benchmarking tests.
Welcome to the club.
In January, DeepSeek’s R1 model beat OpenAI’s leading o1 reasoning model.
Later in January, Alibaba said its Qwen 2.5-Max outperformed GPT-4o and DeepSeek-V3.
Earlier this month, Baidu said its latest model, which powers its Ernie chatbot, matched OpenAI’s GPT-4 capabilities.
Importantly, some of these competitors — DeepSeek, Baidu — are offering their latest, greatest models for free to individual users. Much of OpenAI’s incredibly confusing product lineup is now free, though GPT-4o, the one supposedly comparable to Grok 3, costs $200 a month for full access.
Grok3? It’s available on X’s Premium+ subscription plan — whose price just doubled to $50 a month. Additional features will be available under a new paid plan.
