[CNMO Technology News] On April 29, Musk announced on the social platform X that the early test version of Grok 3.5 would be released to SuperGrok subscribers next week. This version is the first AI capable of accurately answering questions in specialized fields such as rocket engines and electrochemical technology, with its core advantage being reasoning from first principles, allowing it to deduce answers not directly presented on the internet.
Grok is developed by xAI, a company under Elon Musk, which was established by integrating the social platform X (formerly Twitter) with an artificial intelligence team. Grok is its core product. As an AI assistant, Grok relies on massive data training from the X platform, featuring real-time response capabilities, a humorous expression style, and a mechanism for handling controversial topics. It is understood that xAI is promoting the deep integration of AI technology with X platform's advertising system, content recommendation algorithms, and user interaction scenarios, building a "social + AI" ecological closed loop.
Grok is positioned as a "defender of truth," known for its honest and credible dialogue style with a clear stance, and its response style is more groundbreaking.
In July 2024, Musk revealed that the training process for Grok 3 used 100,000 NVIDIA H100 chips. On January 3, 2025, Musk announced that Grok 3 was about to be released; on January 27, internal testing of this version started on independent platforms and the X platform; on February 18, xAI officially launched Grok 3; on February 20, Grok 3 was made publicly available for free and quickly topped the App Store's free app download chart.
