🚨 Is Grok 3 really "the smartest AI"? [Workshop]
Is this bigger, faster, and smarter than ChatGPT?
Hey there.
Elon Musk’s xAI team might have just released the best AI model in the world.
Early adopters, like members of The Rundown AI University, are already putting Grok 3 through its paces. And the feedback is extremely encouraging.
With the ability to solve more complex problems than other LLMs, there’s a reason Musk is calling it “the smartest AI on Earth”.
If you’re interested in what it’s capable of—and how it compares to what you’re using now—here’s exactly what you need to know:
The powerful Grok 3 model was announced with a very ambitious goal.
The sheer scale changes everything
After rapidly building the world’s largest supercomputer, Colossus, xAI have made significant improvements since last year’s Grok 2 announcement.
Grok 3 is trained on 3x more data than GPT-4 (12.8 trillion tokens) and over 10 times more computing power (200,000 specialized GPUs).
Compared to the competition, Grok 3 is:
More accurate in advanced mathematics
More accurate in language understanding
Better at scientific reasoning
30% more energy efficient
When you're racing against deadlines or focusing on getting the right answer, small improvements can make a big impact.
And with plans to double their computing capacity this year, xAI is becoming impossible to ignore.
The two types of reasoning can change how you work
By now you're probably familiar with reasoning models.
Grok 3 has two specialized modes that let you choose between speed and depth to tackle complex problems:
Think Mode delivers answers in just 67ms (3x faster than competitors), so it’s perfect for:
Quick debugging sessions when you're coding
Rapid fact-checking during meetings
Fast research summaries when you're against a deadline
Big Brain Mode recruits additional computing power to outperform most other models in technical tasks, like:
Breaking down difficult math problems step-by-step
Planning and documenting complete software projects
Analyzing scientific papers with academic-level understanding
Grok 3 is both a quick-response assistant and a deep-thinking partner combined into one — making it a flexible addition to any tool stack.
The real-time intelligence can help you stay ahead
DeepSearch is your window into what's happening right now.
By searching the internet and processing 550 million monthly posts on đť•Ź in real-time, it spots trends 8-12 hours faster than web-only models.
And because, you can also combine it with Grok’s reasoning modes, it:
Breaks complex queries into solvable sub-problems
Cross-references academic papers with live discussions
Flags unsupported claims automatically
Delivers answers in less than 1/5th of a second
Whether you're researching market movements, tracking tech developments, or analyzing industry shifts, DeepSearch is the quickest way to fully understand an emerging opportunity before it becomes common knowledge.
Looking for another way to fully understand an emerging opportunity before it becomes common knowledge?
This Friday at 4 PM EST, Dr. Alvaro Cintas is teaching our members how to:
Leverage Grok 3's advanced features, including its "Big Brain" reasoning mode and the new DeepSearch functionality
Effectively use Grok 3 for different use cases, from complex problem-solving to real-time content creation
Choose between Grok 3 and other major AI models by understanding their strengths and differences
While Grok 3's capabilities are impressive, its real power comes from knowing exactly when and how to use each feature (or when to use a different model instead).
After tomorrow’s live session, you'll be among the first professionals fully equipped to use these breakthrough capabilities in your work.
See you in class,
