xAI, the artificial intelligence company founded by Elon Musk, has announced the free public availability of its latest AI model, Grok 3. According to a report by BlockBeats on February 20, xAI noted that this free service will remain available until the servers become overwhelmed.
Grok 3 represents the next generation of xAI’s large language models, boasting a training scale of 300 billion parameters. The model is powered by a computing cluster that employs 100,000 GPUs, resulting in a tenfold increase in its multimodal processing and computational capabilities compared to its predecessors. It’s particularly strong in complex reasoning and real-time data analysis tasks.
Industry analysts suggest that xAI’s aggressive strategy is aimed at capturing AI traffic by rapidly accumulating user data through this free service, which will help optimize the model. However, the caveat about potential server overload reveals vulnerability in its infrastructure; a sudden influx of users could lead to service degradation or even outages. Competing AI products like ChatGPT and Claude have adopted phased rollouts to manage server load more effectively.
