In recent months, many companies and entrepreneurs are investing in Artificial Intelligence ; from Google, OpenAI to Microsoft, it is now extremely simple to find an increasingly updated and performing AI model. Among the most advanced chatbots we find ChatGPT by OpenAI, together with the Chinese solutions Qwen , developed by Alibaba, and DeepSeek , which is gaining more and more attention for its linguistic capabilities.

One of the most famous entrepreneurs in this sector is Elon Musk , owner of X , formerly Twitter , who with his team of IT professionals has developed Grok 3 , an extremely advanced AI solution finally available to everyone. In this guide we will try to understand what Grok 3 is and how Elon Musk’s family of AI models works.

What is Grok 3 and what makes it unique?.

First of all we need to understand what Grok is . With this term we identify a family of AI models given by the development of xAI in collaboration with NeuralWave under the supervision of Elon Musk . As you can deduce from the name, we are at the third version , which compared to Grok 2 uses a data center with 200 thousand GPUs in the Colossus Memphis Supercluster , increasing the computing power up to ten times.

The evolution of Grok 3 is evident , especially when compared to previous versions, since it uses specialized models ; in fact, this family of models includes the previous releases with a significant improvement; for example, it integrates Grok 3 mini to optimize speed and Reasoning or Big Brain to verify information before responding.

You’re wondering who developed Grok 3 and why it’s so innovative, right? In 2023, Elon Musk decided to found the xAI company with the aim of developing an AI capable of enriching people’s lives . The main innovations lie in the logical reasoning ability and integration with X. In fact, training takes place on scientific and mathematical databases , beating advanced models such as GPT-3 and Gemini 2 Flash . The integration with X allows this tool to use real-time trends captured from the former Twitter platform instead of using statistical data like other models. This translates into a tool that is much more attentive to global events .

How Grok 3 Works: Features and Technology.

The intelligence model behind Grok 3 uses an architecture that combines advanced neural networks with dynamic contextual attention mechanisms , allowing it to process text and visual inputs simultaneously . For example, you can use this AI to create a hybrid digital game in just a few seconds.

Differences between Grok 3 and other AI chatbots (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)

To explain individually all the differences between Grok 3 and other AI models would take hours, so let’s try to summarize them in two macro categories : reasoning – memorization and precision in citations .

• Reasoning-memorization : Unlike ChatGPT, which relies on pre-existing patterns, Grok 3 uses Big Brain mode to generate original solutions through step-by-step inferences.
• Citation Accuracy : Independent testing reports that Grok 3 delivers 40% faster responses than Claude 3.5 , while maintaining 92% accuracy in citing complex documents.

Integration with X (Twitter) and other platforms

We anticipated that one of the main features of Grok 3 is the integration with X. This tool allows you to draw on data on Elon Musk’s platform in order to analyze events in real time, from political crises to technological trends to gossip . Grok 3 therefore has the ability to analyze and summarize global reactions in just a few seconds .

What Grok 3 can do: examples of use

With Grok 3 you can create personalized content and responses. If you are a blogger or a journalist you can use this AI to generate a summary and publish it on platforms such as LinkedIn , blogs or X. As well as you can analyze and synthesize information in real time in order to obtain relevant data on trends and content appreciated by users. Developers can also benefit greatly, since Grok 3 allows you to automate processes in a DevOps environment , reducing errors by up to 45% .

How to access and use Grok 3

At the moment the full versions of Grok 3 and Grok 3 mini are only accessible from the US via the official xAI website , while in Europe and the UK they will be soon. However, the Grok 3 Beta version is available that you can use from a web browser with the same link. Just click on Try Now , then on Go to Grok in X and enter your account details.

To access the full version of Grok 3 from the US, you can use a VPN like NordVPN and connect to a US server.

With the beta version, only the Deep Search and Think features are available , for in-depth research and for solving complex mathematical problems and writing code. You can also access Grok 3 directly from X , just click on the Grok item from the web browser or at the bottom of the app .

How to interact with AI: interface and available commands

Once you log in to Grok 3 you will come across the main interface, very similar to that of ChatGPT. As we anticipated, the web interface has two modes: Think and Deep Search . Just choose the one you prefer and interact as if you were chatting with a bot.

Costs, subscriptions and usage plans

The Beta version is accessible to all users for free , but Elon Musk has not defined for how long. For users who subscribe to the X Premium+ plan ($40 per month) or the SuperGrok plan ($30 per month) instead there are no limits and can obtain additional benefits. In fact, the following are unlocked: Big Brain mode , priority access to servers , unlimited image generation and early access to new features .

Conclusions and limitations of Grok

Elon Musk’s Grok 3 stands out for its ability to interconnect with the X ecosystem and redefine the concept of machine intelligence .

If we consider its strengths, such as interaction with X and creativity, it is a family of AI models that is certainly worth using.  In 2026 Elon Musk will invest about 4 billion dollars in this project , aiming for integration in Tesla vehicles and NeuralLink . The challenge is certainly demanding and also particularly uncertain.
