Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, is experiencing delays in the release of its anticipated AI model, Grok 3. Initially promised by the end of 2024, Grok 3 has yet to be launched, with no clear signs of an imminent rollout. This delay follows Musk’s earlier statements that Grok 3 would be a significant advancement, powered by a substantial GPU cluster in Memphis. However, recent indications suggest that an intermediate model, Grok 2.5, might be released first, as hinted by code found on xAI’s website.
The delay of Grok 3 is part of a broader trend in the AI industry, where companies like Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI have also faced setbacks with their flagship models. These challenges highlight the limitations of current AI scaling laws, which have historically relied on increasing computing power and data to enhance model capabilities. Musk has acknowledged these challenges, noting the potential for Grok 3 to be state-of-the-art but also recognizing the possibility of not meeting this goal. The delay may also be attributed to xAI’s relatively smaller team compared to its competitors. This situation underscores the growing difficulties in advancing AI technology using traditional methods.
