Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup, xAI, showed off the updated Grok-3 model, showcasing a version of the chatbot technology that the billionaire has said is the "smartest AI on Earth." Across math, science and coding benchmarks, Grok-3 beats Alphabet's Google Gemini, DeepSeek's V3 model, Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's GPT-4o, the company said via a live stream on Monday. Grok-3 has "more than 10 times" the computing power of its predecessor and completed pretraining in early January, Musk said in a presentation alongside three of xAI's engineers. "We're continually improving the models every day, and literally within 24 hours, you'll see improvements," Musk said.

On January 20, DeepSeek, a relatively unknown AI research lab from China, released an open source model that's quickly become the talk of the town in Silicon Valley. According to a paper authored by the company, DeepSeek-R1 beats the industry's leading models like OpenAI o1 on several math and reasoning benchmarks. In fact, on many metrics that matter--capability, cost, openness--DeepSeek is giving Western AI giants a run for their money. US export controls have severely curtailed the ability of Chinese tech firms to compete on AI in the Western way--that is, infinitely scaling up by buying more chips and training for a longer period of time. As a result, most Chinese companies have focused on downstream applications rather than building their own models.

Apple is working on artificial intelligence (AI) offerings similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard, Bloomberg News has reported, sending its shares up as much as 2 percent to a record high. The iPhone maker has built its own framework, known as Ajax, to create large language models (LLMs) and is also testing a chatbot that some engineers call "Apple GPT", the report said on Wednesday, quoting people with knowledge of the matter. The company did not respond to a request for comment from the Reuters news agency. Apple has so far held back from any big moves in AI and even avoided mentioning the buzzword at its developer conference in June – in stark contrast to other tech giants such as Alphabet and Microsoft, which have made bold moves to incorporate the breakthrough technology. Shares of Microsoft, Nvidia and Alphabet dropped more than 1 percent after the report.

Elon Musk Creates new AI Company to rival OpenAI as Elon Musk announced his plans to enter in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) market of worth more than US$ 125 billion, globally. Since, the global AI market is expected to hit US$ 1,591 billion by 2030 with a registered CAGR of 38.1% from 2022 to 2030, Elon Musk has planned to enter this arena. The boss of world's leading companies like Twitter, Telsa, StarLink, and SpaceX has announced a new venture and as he has registered a company called'X.AI'. It is reveled that the new subsidiary will be the home of efforts to build new AI based tools similar to ChatGPT that is currently owned by OpenAI. To accelerate with X.AI, Musk is reported that he is assembling a team of AI experts and researchers as he is discussing with with investors of SpaceX and Tesla about putting money into this new venture.

After describing ChatGPT's left-wing bias as'concerning', Elon Musk is now working on a new AI chatbot of his own. The Twitter, Telsa and SpaceX boss has registered a company with the name of'X.AI', a subsidiary under his new conglomerate X Holdings Corp. According to the Financial Times, the new subsidiary will be the home of efforts to build a tool just like the hugely successful ChatGPT, owned by OpenAI. Musk is assembling a team of AI researchers and engineers and is in discussions with some investors in SpaceX and Tesla about putting money into his new venture. Due to Musk's belief in free speech, the new bot product could have less of a left-wing bias than ChatGPT, which has already been criticised for'woke' responses. Twitter, Telsa and SpaceX boss Elon Musk (pictured) has registered an artificial intelligence (AI) company with the name of'X.AI' Mr Musk has been critical of AI-powered chatbot ChatGPT in the past.

April 14 (Reuters) - Billionaire Elon Musk is working on launching an artificial intelligence start-up that will rival ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, the Financial Times reported on Friday citing people familiar with his plans. Twitter-owner Musk is assembling a team of AI researchers and engineers, according to the FT report, and is also in discussions with some investors in SpaceX and Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) about putting money into his new venture. Musk's plan for the firm comes weeks after a group of AI researchers and executives, including himself, called for a six-month pause in developing systems more powerful than OpenAI's GPT-4, citing potential risks to society. Companies from Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) to Alphabet Inc (GOOGL.O) are pushing to incorporate Generative AI, the technology behind chatbot sensation ChatGPT, into their offerings. However, ChatGPT is facing pushback as regulators call for well-defined rules ahead of its mass adoption.

The Transform Technology Summits start October 13th with Low-Code/No Code: Enabling Enterprise Agility. For the better part of a year, OpenAI's GPT-3 has remained among the largest AI language models ever created, if not the largest of its kind. Via an API, people have used it to automatically write emails and articles, summarize text, compose poetry and recipes, create website layouts, and generate code for deep learning in Python. But an AI lab based in Tel Aviv, Israel -- AI21 Labs -- says it's planning to release a larger model and make it available via a service, with the idea being to challenge OpenAI's dominance in the "natural language processing-as-a-service" field. The startup says that the largest version of its model -- called Jurassic-1 Jumbo -- contains 178 billion parameters, or 3 billion more than GPT-3 (but not more than PanGu-Alpha, HyperCLOVA, or Wu Dao 2.0).

In machine learning, parameters are the part of the model that's learned from historical training data.
