This Week in AI:

Elon Musk’s AI venture just dropped Grok 3, promising major upgrades, and it’s all anyone can talk about this week. Rightfully so, Grok 3’s release is nothing short of dominant right now. On the other hand, Perplexity is taking research to another level with Deep Research mode—an AI-powered tool that claims to leave traditional search in the dust. Meanwhile, Meta is going all-in on AI-powered humanoid robots, throwing serious money behind its vision of a more robotic future.

This week is a big one, let’s get into it!

In This Issue:

  • Grok3 Unleashed: Elon Musk’s AI chatbot gets a powerful new upgrade. (link)

  • Perplexity’s Deep Research: AI-driven research just hit a new level. (link)

  • Meta’s Big Bet on Humanoid Robots: Zuckerberg’s next AI play might surprise you. (link)

TL;DR:

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, Grok 3, is here, boasting improved reasoning, speed, and accuracy. Built on xAI’s latest LLM, the new model promises better real-time insights, deeper understanding, and enhanced conversation flow. Grok 3 integrates directly into X (formerly Twitter), making AI-driven chats more seamless than ever.

Our Take:

Grok 3's biggest strength? Its direct integration with X, meaning it can provide up-to-the-minute insights, something OpenAI and Anthropic can't quite match. Along with that, Grok 3 + thinking is around the capability of OpenAI’s strongest models such as o1-pro, which is also $200/month. The Grok App is also promising, being on it’s own platform puts it closer to ChatGPT.

Perplexity’s Deep Research
(see its capabilities)

TL;DR:

Perplexity’s Deep Research Mode, an AI-powered research assistant designed to go beyond search engines, is proving itself to be more than capable, compared to others. Instead of just pulling up links, it synthesizes information, cross-references sources, and delivers full-fledged research summaries—a move that could challenge Google’s dominance in the search space.

Our Take:

For researchers, journalists, and deep thinkers, Deep Research Mode could be a game-changer. Instead of wading through thousands of links, users get curated, AI-analyzed insights. But will Google let Perplexity disrupt its multi-billion-dollar search business without a fight? Unlikely. Expect a battle.

Meta and Humanoid Robots
(read full article)

TL;DR:

Meta is making a massive investment in AI-powered humanoid robots, signaling a shift from the metaverse to the physical world. These robots, backed by Meta’s cutting-edge AI models, could learn from human interactions and perform real-world tasks—think personal assistants, caretakers, and labor-force augmentation.

Our Take:

Meta’s move shows AI is leaving the screen and entering reality. While humanoid robots seem straight out of sci-fi, companies like Tesla, Figure AI, and Agility Robotics are already working on similar projects. The big question: Will AI-driven robots become household helpers or just another overhyped experiment?
