Elon Musk had an eye on Artificial intelligence (AI) and also worked aggressively on it and created a company named xAI and launched different diversified models under it named Grok-1, Grok-1.5 & 1.5v, and Grok-2 & now on 17th February 2025 he announced to launch of the xAI Grok 3 chatbot and its live on February 21, 2025 onwards and the beta version is here
Grok-3 is an Engagement-Driven reasoning model and is also well-known as a problem-solving personality. A key feature is Grok’s access to real-time, dynamic data from the X (Twitter) platform, which allows it to provide up-to-date responses. In the end, we get user-generated content with total accuracy.
Why did Elon Musk Set Its Chatbot Name As Grok? What does it mean?
I found this meaning too exciting. Let's try to understand here.
The xAI’s “GROK” name is taken from Robert Heinlein’s novel named “Stranger in a Strange Land“, which is based on the science fiction genre. In the novel, the word “GROK” is used by a character who lives and grows up on Mars and wants to understand everything in deep. So from this example, that character that lives on Mars the word “GROK” conveys deep understanding thoughts and empathy of doing something. It’s very Interesting.

Hardware Used for Grok 3 Training
Hardware used to train the model Grok-1 was ~10,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs, which we confirmed first by xAI’s official site, on Google Gemini, ChatGPT, and also on DeepSeek for accurate info.
Grok-2 and Grok-3 would require even more computing power, potentially leveraging Tesla Dojo supercomputers (custom AI chips) or next-gen NVIDIA GPUs Colossus supercomputer, which is situated in Memphis, Tennessee.
Grok-2 scaled significantly larger than Grok-1 with 500B+ parameters as we compare it to OpenAI’s GPT-4 with around 1.76T parameters. It reportedly used ~25,000 A100 GPUs for training, so Grok-3 could follow the same. So as of now, the xAI Grok-3 Chatbot system consists of approximately 200,000 GPUs, primarily NVIDIA H100 unit.
