Grok could capture the entire 'market' and OpenAI would never feel it, because all grok is under the hood is a giant API bill to OpenAI.

That's probably the vanity project so he'll be distracted and not bother the real experts working on the real products in order to keep the real money people happy.

I don't understand these brainless throwaway comments. Grok 3 is an actual product and is state of the art.

I've paid for Grok, ChatGPT, and Gemini.

They're all at a similar level of intelligence. I usually prefer Grok for philosophical discussions but it's really hard to choose a favourite overall.


I generally prefer other humans for discussions, but you do you I guess.

I talk to humans every day. One is not a substitute for the other. There is no human on Earth which has the amount of knowledge stored in a frontier LLM. It's an interactive thinking encyclopedia / academic journal.

Love the username. A true grokker.

It is? Anyone have further information?

They are competing with OpenAI, not outsourcing. https://x.ai/colossus

They say no one has come close to building as big an AI computing cluster... What about Groq's infra, wouldn't that be as big or bigger, or is that essentially too different of an infrastructure to be able to compare between?

Groq is for inferencing, not training.

Ah I see, thank you.

Nvidia CEO said he had never seen anyone build a data center that quickly.

They were power constrained and brought in a fleet of diesel generators to power it.

Brute force to catch up to the frontier and no expense spared.


Pretty wild! I guess he realized that every second matters in this race..
