This could have far-reaching implications for industries relying on AI for decision-making and automation.

👾 xAI's Grok 3 to be Released, Surpassing All Others in Reasoning Capabilities

Elon Musk has announced that xAI's Grok 3 will be released in the coming weeks, claiming it will surpass all other AI models in reasoning capabilities. This bold statement has set the AI community abuzz with anticipation and speculation.
