New Delhi, April 11, 2025 — Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has confirmed that his artificial intelligence company xAI is set to launch Grok 3.5, the next version of its AI chatbot, in the near future. The announcement came during a livestream on April 10, where Musk was seen playing the video game "Path of Exile 2" via Starlink. The news has stirred excitement across the global tech community, as Grok 3.5 is expected to be a significantly enhanced upgrade over the current Grok 3 model.
As per agency report, xAI had introduced Grok 3 earlier this year on February 17. It was trained using ten times the computing power of its predecessor, Grok 2, utilizing xAI’s massive data center, Colossus, which is equipped with nearly 200,000 GPUs. Grok 3 demonstrated notable improvements in fields such as mathematics, science, and coding, and was even considered to outperform models like OpenAI’s GPT-4o.
During the livestream, Musk shared that Grok 3.5 will come with several key upgrades and would soon be made available to users. He also hinted at the upcoming Grok 4 model, which is expected to launch by the end of 2025. Recently, xAI also released an API for Grok 3, enabling developers to integrate the AI model into their applications. Pricing for the API varies depending on the model, with Grok-3-Mini priced at $0.30 for input and $0.50 for output, while Grok-3-Fast is available at $5 for input and $25 for output.
The development and upcoming launch of Grok 3.5 highlights xAI’s ambitions in the increasingly competitive AI landscape, where companies like OpenAI, Google, and others are rapidly evolving their models to offer greater accuracy, speed, and contextual understanding. With Grok 3.5, xAI aims to deliver a more refined and powerful AI experience to users, potentially setting a new benchmark in the field of generative AI.
Further details regarding the release date and feature list for Grok 3.5 are expected to be shared soon via xAI’s official website and on the X platform, formerly known as Twitter.
