Elon Musk's xAI is facing scrutiny over the power consumption of its Colossus supercomputer facility located near Memphis, Tennessee. Reports indicate that xAI is allegedly using "illegal" generators to power the facility, which houses over 100,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs, consuming approximately 150 MW of power, with plans to upgrade to 200,000 processors. Concerns have been raised by the Southern Environmental Law Center, who claim the generators are operating without proper permits, and KeShaun Pearson, director of Memphis Community Against Pollution, who stated xAI is using 35 methane gas burning turbines while only having a permit for 15.
The issue stems from a legal loophole that allows turbines to operate without permits if they are not fixed in one location for more than 364 days. The Southern Environmental Law Center has revealed that the turbines can produce 420 MW, which is sufficient to power a city. The law center further contends that this unregulated power facility poses health and environmental risks due to emissions of hazardous and cancer-causing substances, demanding an emergency halt to the operations. Additionally, OpenAI has countersued Elon Musk, claiming a pattern of harassment through time-wasting lawsuits and attempted takeover bids. In other news, xAI has launched an API for Grok 3, making the AI model accessible to developers. Grok 3, designed to analyze images and answer questions, is intended to compete with models such as GPT-4 and Google Gemini. The API offers two versions: Grok 3 and Grok 3 Mini, with pricing varying based on the number of input and output tokens. Elon Musk has also announced that xAI Grok 3.5 is expected to be released next month, with sources claiming that it will top the AI leaderboards. Recommended read:

Elon Musk's xAI has launched Grok 3, a new artificial intelligence model designed to compete with leading AI systems like ChatGPT, Gemini Ultra, and Qwen 2.5-Max. Grok 3 focuses on next-level reasoning, real-time data integration, and multimodal interactions, processing both text and images, with audio capabilities planned for the future. It aims to tackle academic challenges and real-world professional tasks.
Grok 3 boasts features such as DeepSearch for real-time web and X data retrieval and a 'Think' mode for detailed problem-solving. It also exhibits coding proficiency, writing, debugging, and optimizing code. xAI has incorporated Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) to minimize bias and misinformation, aiming for trustworthy results. Grok 3 is designed to be an unfiltered AI model as OpenAI, Anthropic and Google filter training data to exclude harmful content. Recommended read:

xAI, led by Elon Musk, has launched Grok-3, the latest iteration of its large language model, boasting advanced reasoning capabilities. The company claims that Grok-3 represents a substantial advancement over its predecessor, Grok-2, due to its "reasoning models" that mimic human thinking. Researchers added it was trained using significantly more compute power, and early testing suggests it may outperform models from OpenAI and DeepSeek. Grok-3 features both a large complex model (Grok-3 Reasoning beta) and a small fast model (Grok-3 mini Reasoning) for generating responses to complex questions.
To access the reasoning capabilities, users can engage "Think" mode and "Big Brain" mode for more complicated queries. Grok-3 can be paired with "DeepSearch," to scan the internet for relevant knowledge to incorporate into its answers. However, the launch has not been without controversy, as reports have surfaced that Grok-3's search results are being censored. Users have reported that Grok-3 is ignoring sources identifying Elon Musk or Donald Trump as misinformation spreaders. Additionally, Grok-3 is highly vulnerable to indirect prompt injection, where malicious instructions can be inserted into tweets, causing Grok to misbehave in response to certain queries.

Elon Musk's xAI has officially launched Grok 3, its latest AI model, which Musk has dubbed the "smartest AI on Earth." Trained on 200,000 GPUs, this new model is positioned as a direct competitor to OpenAI's GPT-4 and DeepSeek, excelling in math, science, and coding benchmarks. The launch appears to coincide with a price hike for X Premium+ subscriptions, offering initial access to Grok 3 for subscribers in the U.S., with a separate subscription planned for web and app versions.
xAI's Grok 3 comes with advanced reasoning and agentic abilities and uses more than 10 times the computing power of Grok 2. It has two modes: "Think," which uses a smaller Grok 3 mini model for simple queries, and "Big Brain," which utilizes Grok 3 for complex problems. A new agentic feature called DeepSearch, conducts comprehensive analyses and generates reports, similar to tools recently released by OpenAI, Google, and Perplexity. Recommended read:
