ONE EPISODE, A STARTING POINT

Does GROK 3 change everything? Musk's AI challenges OpenAI!

12:21Marco Montemagno · podcast RSS

Marco analyzes the Grok 3 presentation while making clear that he has not yet been able to test it. He appreciates the broad-mission storytelling, access to X data and the speed of building teams and infrastructure. He argues for considering the trajectory of improvement rather than only a benchmark score. However, he distinguishes a credible new competitor from an already demonstrated revolution. Research and reasoning interest him, but he reserves practical judgment until testing. Early access restricted to a few people seems to him a source of imbalance, while competition and open models may broaden user access. This is commentary on the announcement, separate from tests described in other episodes.
