🚨Top story
xAI's Grok 3 Model Release Delayed

Elon Musk's AI venture, xAI, missed its 2024 deadline for the Grok 3 model, reflecting ongoing AI release delays across the industry.
Grok 3, xAI’s anticipated AI model, has yet to launch despite Elon Musk’s promise of a late 2024 release. Signs now suggest an intermediate model, Grok 2.5, may come first.
Key Details:
- Musk initially projected Grok 3’s launch by end of 2024, calling it a “major leap forward.”
- No official release date has been announced, and internal xAI code hints at Grok 2.5 arriving first.
- Other AI firms, including Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google, have also faced delays in flagship models.
- The setback fuels speculation that scaling laws may be hitting diminishing returns, limiting rapid AI advancements.
