AI seems to be on everyone's minds these days, and one interesting aspect of this field is the ongoing 'Chatbot war' and how it is somewhat intertwined with the rivalry between two former partners.

On Thursday (13), Elon Musk made a video appearance at the World Governments Summit in Dubai, in which they claimed that the upcoming generative AI Grok 3 is 'outperforming' all rival chatbots.

Musk says that Grok is to be released by the end of the month.

And the product to be beaten by his xAI company right now is OpenAI's ChatGPT – and there's a story there.

New York Post reported:

"'Grok 3 has very powerful reasoning capabilities, so in the tests that we've done thus far, Grok 3 is outperforming anything that's been released, that we're aware of, so that's a good sign', Musk said during a video call addressing the World Governments Summit in Dubai.

Musk called Grok 3 'scary-smart', saying the bot has been able to come up with 'not obvious solutions' that people would not anticipate. 'We think it'll be better than anything else, and then maybe this might be the last time that any AI is better than Grok', he continued, a challenge to OpenAI's long dominant ChatGPT."

Musk co-founded OpenAI with Sam Altman, severed ties 3 years later, and now they're in constant opposition.

Musk is suing Altman to keep him from switching OpenAI to for-profit and went as far as assembling a group of investors to make the shocking $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'."
