Elon Musk debuts Grok 3, an AI model that he says outperforms ChatGPT and DeepSeek
xAI(https://x.ai/) on Monday unveiled its updated Grok 3 artificial intelligence model, as the Elon Musk-led startup pushes to keep pace with the advanced reasoning and search capabilities in competitors’ models.
In an event livestreamed on Musk’s X, leaders at the startup claimed Grok 3 performs better across math, science and coding benchmarks than Google’s Gemini, OpenAI’s GPT-4o, Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 and DeepSeek’s V3 model, although it’s not clear how it compares to other top reasoning models such as OpenAI o3-mini and DeepSeek R1. The company also described the tool’s new features, such as advanced web searching with “deep search,” the ability to code online games and a “big brain” mode to reason through more complex problems.
Grok 3 is immediately available to members of X’s $40 per month “Premium+” subscription plans, or users who subscribe directly on Grok’s standalone app or website.
The xAI announcement comes as competition in AI continues to ramp up, with big tech players racing to invest in bigger, stronger data centers to fuel more powerful AI models. Tech giants believe AI is on its way to revolutionizing how people work, communicate and navigate the internet, including by replacing traditional search engines and coding processes.
Asked on Monday about open-sourcing xAI’s own models, Musk said the startup would make the code behind its previous Grok 2 model publicly available when Grok 3 is “mature and stable” in the coming months.
A Ruthless Son Who Wants to Kill His Own Father – “Ramam Raghavam”
Children, at some point, may momentarily resent their parents when they are strict, despite their unconditional love. However, they soon realize that their parents’ actions are for their own good. But what happens when a son fails to understand his father’s love, chooses to kill him, and tries to escape the troubles he himself invited? That is the story of Ramam Raghavam – a tale of a ruthless son.
Produced under the Slate Pencil Stories banner, presented by Prabhakar Aripaka, and produced by Prithvi Polavarapu, this film marks the directorial debut of well-known actor Dhanraj. Veteran Tamil director-turned-actor Samuthirakani plays the role of the father, while Dhanraj portrays the son. Other key roles are played by Pramodini, Harish Uthaman, Satya, Sunil, and Prithvi.
Samuthirakani, an accomplished director, has also been proving himself as a remarkable actor. In Ramam Raghavam, he portrays a father burdened with regret for failing to guide his son onto the right path. His performance, particularly in the way he expresses his paternal sacrifice and emotions, elevates him as an actor.
Dhanraj, as a first-time director, impresses with his ability to cast actors in roles that suit them, extract strong performances, and collaborate effectively with technical experts. His handling of the film is so refined that it’s hard to believe this is his debut as a director. However, the storytelling could have been more gripping by adding depth to the son’s hatred towards his father and establishing stronger reasons for his extreme resentment. A little more effort in these aspects would have strengthened the emotional impact of the film.
Personally, while Dhanraj does complete justice to the role of Raghava, I feel that if he had focused solely on directing rather than also playing the lead role, it would have enhanced his direction even more. Pramodini, who plays the mother, delivers a commendable performance. The cinematography, music, and production values are well-executed, leaving little room for criticism. However, with more attention to the screenplay, the film could have reached an entirely different level of success.
Rating: 3/5
