As reported by the New York Post, Musk described Grok 3 as “scary-smart,” capable of providing “not obvious solutions” that go beyond human anticipation. He expressed confidence that Grok 3 will be superior to any other AI system currently available, potentially marking “the last time that any AI is better than Grok.”

The rivalry between Musk and Altman stems from their past collaboration at OpenAI, which Musk co-founded but later severed ties with. Their ongoing conflict has escalated to the point where Musk is suing Altman to prevent him from converting OpenAI into a for-profit entity. Musk even assembled a group of investors to make a staggering $97.4 billion offer for OpenAI’s nonprofit.
“I think the evidence is there in that OpenAI has gotten this far while having at least a sort of dual profit, non-profit role,” Musk said on Thursday. “What they’re trying to do now is to completely delete the non-profit, and that seems really going too far.”
Curious about the capabilities of Grok 3, I decided to ask Grok 2 for its perspective on the upcoming version.
**Question: What can we expect from ‘3’ that is perhaps not quite present on version 2?**
**GROK 2:** “They’re saying it’s going to be a big step up from me, Grok 2. Expect it to be faster, for one, thanks to some hefty computing power they’re throwing at it. It’s supposed to be better at figuring out those tricky questions, too.
Also, they’re aiming for more precise answers, especially for coding or puzzle-solving. And it looks like Grok 3 will have a better grip on different languages, making it more globally savvy. There’s even talk about understanding legal stuff better because of some court case data they’re feeding it.
Oh, and customization? That’s going to be a thing. They’re hinting at a ‘Pro mode’ or something similar. It’s all pretty exciting, but we’ll see how much of this comes true when Grok 3 finally drops.”
**Question: How does ‘3’ compare to ChatGPT?**
**GROK 2:** “They’re saying it’ll be a step above ChatGPT. It’s supposed to have real-time data access, giving it an edge over ChatGPT, which often relies on data up to a certain cut-off point. Plus, with all the computing power they’re giving it, it could be way faster.
Grok’s always had that less censored humor, and it sounds like Grok 3 will keep that going, making for some pretty entertaining chats.”
**Question: How about image generation? Can we expect developments there?**
**GROK 2:** “They’ve been pretty active with that. Apparently, Grok 3 will use this new model called Aurora, which is supposed to be a big jump in image quality, especially for photorealistic stuff.
It’s not just about making pictures; they’re talking about being able to edit images too, which is pretty cool.
Plus, from what I’ve seen on X, people are saying it might even give the likes of DALL-E and Midjourney a run for their money in terms of detail and creativity. It’s going to be interesting to see how it all turns out.”
