# Grok-3: Power and reasoning for complex problems

On February 17, 2025, **xAI** officially presented **Grok-3**, its flagship artificial intelligence model designed to lead the frontier of computational reasoning, advanced mathematics and code generation.

## Computing power on the Colossus cluster

Trained on the supercomputer [Colossus](https://comunicagenia.com/en/blog/colossus-learn-more-about-elon-musks-supercomputer-with-artificial-intelligence/)—the massive Nvidia H100 and H200 cluster infrastructure powered by Elon Musk—with more than ten times the computational capacity of its predecessors, Grok-3 represents a quantitative leap on the xAI scale.

Thanks to a training framework based on large-scale reinforcement learning (RL) and iterative self-correction, the model not only predicts responses, but reflects on intermediate hypotheses, detects logical contradictions and explores alternative solutions in real time.

## Results and Benchmarks on the AI Frontier

In standardized industry assessments, Grok-3 has been shown to outperform or directly rival leading models on the market, such as OpenAI's GPT-4o and the DeepSeek family (V3 and R1):

### Chatbot Arena Elo

1402

Global score consolidating first place in blind user preferences.

### AIME 2025

52.2%

Applied mathematics competition above the reference standard.

### GPQA

75.4%

Postgraduate scientific reasoning assessment with highly complex questions.

## Advanced Reasoning Modes: Think and Big Brain

One of the great functional innovations of Grok-3 is the incorporation of dynamic operating modes adapted to the difficulty of the problem:

- **Think Mode:** Deploys explicit chains of thought (Chain-of-Thought) step by step, allowing the user to audit the AI's logical deductions.
- **Big Brain Mode:** Allocates greater computational volume in inference for extraordinarily intricate problems in algorithms, theoretical physics, and software architecture.
- **Integration with DeepSearch:** Real-time web navigation and synthesis system that filters primary sources and updated documentation instantly.

## Availability and Model Ecosystem

Grok-3 is available on the

For those workflows that require lower latency and high concurrency with contained costs, xAI accompanies this launch with its optimized version [Grok-3 Mini](https://comunicagenia.com/en/blog/grok-3-mini-efficiency-and-speed-for-everyday-use/).
