The engineers clarified that while the voice mode of Grok 3 is still in testing and may be unstable for now, it will be available in about a week.
In further announcements, xAI engineers introduced the broad agent tools of DeepSearch, which are aimed at empowering engineers, researchers, scientists, and everyday users to tackle complex tasks.

According to data presented during the press conference, Grok 3 surpassed competitors like OpenAI’s GPT-4, Claude 3.5, DeepSeek V3, and Gemini 2 Pro in key benchmarks related to math, science, and programming. Musk shared that Grok 3’s training was ten times more extensive than its predecessor, Grok 2.
In a separate development, Musk confirmed on X that xAI is launching an AI game studio with the mission to “Make games great again.”
