Elon Musk is ready to release his xAI artificial intelligence chatbot and ChatGPT challenger Grok 3 with a live demo. The billionaire businessman, who founded xAI in 2023 as a challenger to Microsoft-backed OpenAI and Alphabet's Google, will unveil the chatbot on Tuesday at 3pm Sydney time. Musk also co-founded OpenAI. The confirmation comes after Musk said on Thursday Grok 3 was in the final stages of development and would be released in a week or two.  "Grok 3 has very powerful reasoning capabilities, so in the tests that we've done thus far, Grok 3 is outperforming anything that's been released, that we're aware of, so that's a good sign," he said in a video call addressing the World Governments Summit in Dubai.
