Musk Says New AI Chatbot Outperforms Rivals, Nears Launch (reuters.com) 91
Elon Musk said Thursday his AI startup xAI will release Grok 3, a new chatbot he claims surpasses existing AI models, within two weeks. Speaking at Dubai's World Governments Summit, Musk cited internal testing showing superior reasoning capabilities compared to current AI systems.
The announcement comes days after a Musk-led investor group offered $97.4 billion to acquire OpenAI's nonprofit assets. Musk, who co-founded OpenAI before starting rival xAI, is suing to block the AI company's planned transition to a for-profit structure, arguing it contradicts its original mission. "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. What they're trying to do now is to completely delete the non-profit, and that seems really going too far," he added.

The purchase was set up by the Biden administration. The current administration has said they have no plans on fulfilling the order.
But don't take my word for it, check out the media reports [npr.org] that say it was Trump (not Biden) aiming to purchase the cybertrucks, because fake news saying it was Trump instead of Biden makes it seem so much like graft.
