Part 2/7:
Grok 3 has, for instance, shown considerable prowess in tasks compared to the 03 mini High and OpenAI’s models, achieving higher scores in reasoning tests and benchmarks designed for AI evaluations in 2024 and beyond. This increasing capability of Grok is evident in growth metrics where it is rapidly closing the gap to leading counterparts in the AI landscape.
Hardware Infrastructure
A notable aspect of Grok 3’s capabilities can be attributed to xAI's substantial hardware investment. Known as the Colossus, this massive compute cluster comprises 200,000 GPUs, making it one of the largest of its kind globally. The infrastructure's development was remarkably quick; phase one saw completion within 122 days, with an expansion to 200,000 GPUs achieved in just 92 days.
