Grok 3 is expected to be powered by xAI’s Colossus supercomputer which reportedly houses over 1,00,000 Nvidia GPU hours for the purpose of training AI models. It was built in just over eight months.
The more efficient successor to Grok 2 was reportedly trained on synthetic datasets using machine learning techniques such as reinforcement learning, according to a report by Forbes.

Reinforcement learning is said to be an effective method to reduce incorrect or imaginary responses provided by AI models, otherwise known as hallucinations. It also significantly reduces the training times of large language models (LLMs).
“This might be the last time that an AI is better than Grok,” Musk had said at The World Governments Summit in Dubai recently, in praise of the upcoming LLM’s advanced capabilities.
