xAI’s Mind Blowing Grok 3 Demo w/Elon Musk & Team (full replay)

well welcome to the gro 3 presentation um so the mission of xai and Gro is to understand the universe we want to understand the nature of the universe so we can figure out what's going on where are the aliens what's the meaning of life how does the universe end how did it start all these fundamental questions um were driven by curiosity about the nature of the universe and um that's also what causes us to be a maximally truth seeking uh AI even if that truth is sometimes at odds with what is politically correct in order

to understand the nature of the universe you must absolutely rigorously pursue truth or you will not understand the universe you'll be suffering from some amount of delusion or error so that is our goal um figure out what's going on and uh we're very excited to present grock 3 which is we think uh an order of magnitude more capable than grock 2 in a very short period of time and uh that's thanks to uh the hard work of an incredible team and um I'm honored to work with such a great team and of course we'd love

to have um some of the smartest humans out there join our team so uh with that let's let's go hi everyone my name is eigor lead engineering at xcii I'm Jimmy Paul leading research I'm Tony working on the reasoning Team all right I'm Elon I don't do anything I just show up occasionally yeah so um like I mentioned Gro is the tool that we're working on Gro is our AI that we're building here at XI and we've been working extremely hard over the last few months to improve gr as much as we can so we

can give it to all of you so we can give all of you access to it um we think it's going to be extremely useful do we think it's going to be interesting to talk to funny really really funny um and we're going to explain to you how we've improved gr over the last few months we've made quite a jump in in capabilities yeah actually we should explain maybe also what is why do we call it Gro so Gro is a word from um a Highland novel Stranger in a Strange Land um and it's uh

used by a guy who's who was raised on Mars um and the word Gro is to sort of fully and profoundly understand something that's what the word gr mean fully and profoundly understand something and empathy is important true so yeah so uh if we charted xas progress uh in the last few months has only been 17 months since we started kicking of our very first model uh grock 1 was almost like a toy by this point only 314 billion parameters and now if you proud the progress the time on x-axis the performance of favorite Benchmark

numbers M mlu on the Y axis we're literally progressing at unprecedent speed across the whole field and then we kick off grock 1.5 right after grock One released after November 2023 and then grock 2 so if you look at where the all the performance coming from when you have a very correct engineering team and all the best AI at Talent the only one thing we need is a big intelligence comes from big cluster so we can reconvert the entire progress of XI now replacing the Benchmark on the y axis to the total total amount of

training flops that is how many gpus we can run at any given time to train our large language models to compress the entire internet so after all human all human knowledge really that's right yeah internet being part of it but it's really all human knowledge all everything yeah the whole internet fits into a USB stick at this point it's like all the human tokens yeah that's right yeah uh very soon into the real world yeah um so we had so much trouble actually training grock 2 back in the days um with kickoff the model around

February and uh we thought we had a large amount of chips but turned out we can barely get AK training chips running coherently at any given time and we had so many Cooling and power issues I think you were there in the data center yeah it was like really sort of more like 8K tiffs on average at 80% efficiency more like like 6,500 effective uh h100s training for you know several months but now now we're at 100K yeah that's right okay that's right so so what's the next step right so after gu 2 so if

we want to continue accelerate we have to take the matter into our own hands we have to solve all the coolings um all the power issues and everything yeah so so in April of last year Elon decided that really the only way for XI to succeed for XI to build the best AI out there is to build our own data center so um we didn't have a lot of time right because we wanted to give you gr free as quickly as possible so really we realized we have to build the data center in about 4

months um it turned out it took us 122 days to get the first 100K gpus up and running and that was a Monumental effort uh to be able to do that um it's we believe it's the biggest uh fully connected h100 cluster of its kind um and uh we didn't just stop there we actually decided that we need to double the size of the cluster pretty much immediately if we want to build uh the kind of AI that we want to build um so we then had another phase um which we haven't talked about publicly

yet so this is the first time that we're talking about this U where we doubled the capacity of the data center yet again um and that one only took us 92 days so we've been able to use all of these gpus use all of this compute to improve grock in the meantime and basically today we're going to present you the results of that the the fruits that came from that um so let yeah so all the path all the rows leads to gr 3 uh 10x more compute more than 10x really yeah really maybe 15x

yep uh compared to our previous generation model and gr finished the pre-training uh early January um and uh we start you know the model still currently training actually so this is a little preview of our Benchmark numbers so we evaluated gr 3 on you know three different categories on General mathematical reasonings on general knowledge about stem and Science and then also on computer science coding so Amy uh American Invitational math examination uh hosts it you know once a year uh and if we evaluate the model performance we can see that the grock 3 across the

board is in a league of its own even his little brother gr mini is reaching the frontier across all the other competitors so you will say well at this point all these benchmarks you're just evaluating you know the memorization of the textbooks memorization of the GitHub repos how about realtime usefulness how about we actually use those models in our product so what we did instead is we actually kicked off a blind test of our gr 3 Model code named Chocolate it's pretty hot yeah hot chocolate um and uh you know been running on this uh

platform called Cho arena for two weeks um I think the entire X platform at some point speculated this might be the next generation of a uh AI coming away so uh how this CH Arena works is that um it strip away the entire product surface right it just raw comparison of the engine of those agis the language models themselves and place interface where the user will submit one single query and you get to show two responses you don't know which model they come from and in then you make the both so in this blind test

gr 3 and early version of Gro 3 already reached like 1,400 no other models has reached an ELO score had to have comparison to all the other models at this score and it's not just one single category it's 1,400 aggregated across all the categories in ch B capabilities instruction following coding so it's number one across the board in this blind test and it's it's still climbing so we actually to keep updating it so it's it's 14400 about, 1400 in climbing yeah and in fact we have a version of the model that we think is already

much better than the one that we tested here yeah we'll see you know how how far it gets but that's the one that we're you know um working on we're talking about today yeah so actually one thing if if you're if you're using grock 3 you I think you may notice improvements almost every day um because we're we're continuously improving the model so literally even within 24 hours you'll see improvements yep so but we believe here at XI getting the best pre-training model is not enough that's not enough to build the best AI and the

best a need to think like a human need to contemplate about all the possible solutions self-critique verify all the solutions backtrack and also think from the first principle that's a very important capability so we believe that as we take the best PR train model and continue training it with reinforcement learning it will elicit the additional reasoning capabilities that allows the model just become so much better and scale not just in the training time but actually in the test time as well so we already found the models extremely useful internally um for our own engineering saving

hours of uh time hundreds of hours of uh coding time so eal you the power user of our gra reasoning model so what are some use cases yeah so like Jimmy said we've added Advanced reasoning capabilities to Gro and we've been testing them pretty heavily over the last few weeks in order to give you a little bit of a taste of what it looks like when Gro is solving heart reasoning problems so we prepared two little problems for you one comes from physics and one is actually a game that gr is going to write for

us um so when it comes to the physics problem you know what we want Gro to do is to plot a viable trajectory to do a transfer from Earth to Mars and then uh at a later point in time a transfer back from Mars to Earth um and that requires some know some physics that Gro will have to understand um so we're going to challenge Gro you know come up with a viable trajectory calculate it and then plot it for us so we can see it and um yeah this is totally unscripted by the way

this is the that's the entirety of the prompt which just be clarify is that yeah there there's nothing more than that yeah exactly this is the gro interface and we've typed in this text that you can see here generate code for an animated 3D plot of a launch from Earth uh landing on Mars and then back to Earth at the next launch window um and we've not kicked off the query and you can see grock is sping so part of grock's advanced reasoning capabilities are these ping traces that you can see here you can even

go inside and actually read what Gro is thinking as it's going through the problem as it's trying to solve it um yeah we say like we are doing some obscuration of the thinking so that our model doesn't get totally copied instantly um so there's more to the thinking than is displayed uh yeah yeah and because this is totally unscripted there's actually a chance that Gro might made a little coding mistake and it might not actually work um so um just in case we're going to launch two more instances of this so if something goes wrong

we be able to uh to switch to those and show you um something that's present so we're kicking off the other two as well um and like I said we have a second problem as well um and um yeah actually one of the favorite one of our favorite activities here at xci is having gr right games for us um and um not just any know any old game any game that you might already be familiar with but actually creating new games on the spot and being creative about it um so one example that we found

was really really fun um is create a game that's a mixture of the two games Tetris and Beed so this is maybe an important thing like there's obviously if you if you ask an AI to create a game like Tetris there's there are many examples of Tetris on the on the Internet or game like J whatever there it can copy it what's interesting here is it a achieved a creative solution combining the two games that actually works and and is a good game yeah that's the it's cre we're seeing the beginnings of creativity yeah fingers

crossed that we can recreate that hopefully it works embarrassing it so actually because this is a bit more challenging we're going to use something special here which we call Big Brain that's our mode in which we use more computation which more reasoning for GR just to make sure that you know there's a good chance here that it might actually might actually Do It um so we're also going to fire off know three attempts here at at solving this game at creating this game that's a mixture of know Tetris and Bs um yeah let's let's see

what Gro comes up like I've played the game it's pretty good like it's like wow okay this is something yeah um so while gr is thinking uh in the in the background um we can now actually talk about some concrete numbers know how how well is gr doing across tons of different tasks that we've tested it on um so we'll hand it over to Tony to talk about that yeah okay so let's see how Grog does on those interesting challenging benchmarks uh so yeah so reasoning again refers to those models that actually thinks quite for

quite a long time before it tries to solve a problem so in this case uh you know around a month ago the gr 3 pre-training finished so after that we worked very hard to put the reasoning capability into the uh current graph 3 Model but again this is very early days so the model is still Cur in training so right now what we're are going to show to people is this beta version of the grth three reasoning model alongside we also are training a mini version of the reasoning model so essentially on this plot you

can see uh the gr 3 reasoning beta and then gr 3 mini reasoning the gr reason mini reasoning is actually a model that we train for much longer time and you can see that sometimes it actually perform slightly better compared to the gr 3 reasoning this also just means that there's a huge potential for the gr 3 reasoning because it's trained for much less time um so all right so let's actually look at what how how it does on those three benchmarks so Jimmy also introduced already so essentially we're looking at three different areas mathematics

science and coding um and for math we're picking this high school competition M problem um for science we actually pick those PhD level science questions um and for coding it's also actually pretty challenging it's competitive coding and also some uh lead code which is some code inter interview problems that people usually get when they interview for company so on those benchmarks you can see that the Groth 3 actually perform quite well uh across the board compared to other competitors um yeah so it's pretty promising these models are very smart so Tony what what what are

those shaded bars yeah so okay so uh I'm GL you asked this question so for those models because it can reason it can think you can also ask them to even think longer uh you can spend more what we call test and compute which means you can spend more time to reason to think about a problem before you spit out the answer so in this case the Shaded bar here means that we just uh asked the model to spend more more time you know you can solve the the same problem many many times before it

it tries to conclude what is the right solution and once you give this compute or this this kind of budget to the model it turns out the model can even perform better so this is essentially the Shaded part in in those SPS right so I think this is really exciting right because now instead of just doing one chain of thoughts with AI why not do multiple at once yes so that's a very powerful technique that allows to continue scale the model capabilities after training um and you know people often ask are we actually just over

fitting to the benchmarks so how about generalization so yes I think uh yeah this is definitely a question that we are asking ourselves whether we are overfitting to those current benchmarks uh luckily we have a real test so about 5 days ago Amy 2025 just finished this is where high school students compete in this particular Benchmark so we got this very fresh new competition and then we asked our two models to compete on the same Benchmark at the same exam and it turns out uh very interestingly the grth three reasoning the big one um actually

does uh better um on this particular new fresh exam this also means that the generalization capability of the big model is stronger much stronger compared to the smaller model uh if you compare to the last year's exam actually this is the opposite the small model kind of learns the uh the the previous exams better so yeah so this this actually shows some kind of true generalization from the model that's right so 17 months ago our Gro zero and Gro one barely solved any High School problems that's right and now we have a kid that just

already graduate the gro gr is ready to go to college is that right yeah I mean it's won be long for is simply perfect the human exams won't be hard they' be too easy yeah like and internally we actually as a gret continue evolves uh we're going to talk about you know what we're excited about but very soon there will be no more benchmarks left yeah yeah one thing that's quite fascinating I think is that we basically only trained GRS reasoning abilities on math problems and competitive coding problems right so very very specialized kinds of

tasks but somehow it's able to work on all kinds of other different tasks so including creating games no lots lots and lots of different things um and what seems to be happening is that basically Gro learns this ability to detect its own mistakes and its thinking correct them persist on a problem try lots of different variants pick pick the one that's best so there are this generalized generalizing abilities that Gro learns from mathematics and from coding which it can then use to solve all kinds of other problems so that's yeah that's pretty I mean reality

is the instantiation of mathematics mhm that's right um and one thing we're actually really excited about that going back to our funing mission is what if one day we have a computer just like deep thought that utilize our entire cluster just for that one very important problem in the test time all the GPU turned on right so I think back then we were building the GPU clusters together uh you were plugging cables and I remember that when we turn on the the first initial test you can hear all the GPS humming in the hallway that's

almost feel like spiritual yeah that that's actually a pretty cool uh thing that we're able to do that we can go into the data center and Tinker with the machines there so for example we went in and we unplugged a few of the cables and just made sure that our training setup is still running running stably so that's something that you know I think most uh AI you know teams out there don't usually do but it's actually totally unlocks like a new level of reliability and what you're able to do with with the hardware so

okay so when when are we going to solve remon so uh the easiest solution is to uh numerate over all possible strains and as long you have a verifier enough compute you'll be able to do it my projection will be what your guess what is your neuronet calculate so my my my both prediction so so 3 years ago I told you this I think in now it's uh two years uh later two things going to happen we're going to see machines win some medals that's touring award absolutely Fields metal Nobel Prize with probably some expert

in the loop right so the expert uplifting do you mean so this year or next year oh okay that's what it comes down to really yeah so it looks like grock finished know all of its thinking on on the two problem so let's take a look at what it said all right so this was the the little physics problem we had um no we we've collapsed the thoughts here so they're you know they're hidden and then we see grock's answer below that so it explains it wrote a python script here using matplot lip then gives

us all of the code um so let's take a quick look at the code you know seems like it's doing reasonable things here not not totally of the Mark um solve Kepler says here so maybe it's solving Kepler laws cap Kepler law numerically um yeah there's really only one way to find out if this thing is working I'd say let's let's give it a try let's run let's run the code all right and we can see um yeah gr is animating two different planets Earth and Mars here and then the the green uh ball is

the the vehicle that's transiting the the spacecraft that's transitioning between Earth and Mars and you you could see the journey from Earth to Mars and looks like yeah indeed the the astronauts return safely you know at the right moment in time um so now obviously this was just generated on the spot so now we can't tell you if that was actually correct solution so we're going to take a closer look now maybe we're going to call some colleagues from space X ask them if if this is legit um it's pretty close it's it's I mean

uh yeah I mean there there's a lot of complexities in the actual orbits that have to be taken into account but this is this is pretty close to to what it what looks like awesome um in fact I have that on my pendant here this got the Earth m home and transfer on it when when are we going to install rock on a rocket well I suppose in 2 years two years everything is 2 years away uh well Earth and Mars Transit can occurs every 26 months the next we're currently in a Transit window approximately

the next one would be um November of next year um roughly end of next year um and and uh if all goes well SpaceX will send Starship Rockets to Mars and um with Optimus robots and U and Gro I'm curious what this combination of Tetris and B looks like bet Tetris as we've named it internally um so okay we also have an output from gr here it say Ro python script explains that it's what it's been doing if you look at the the code now there are some constants that are being defined here some colors

then the the trinos the the pieces of Tetris are there um obviously very hard to see at one glance if this is good so we got to we got to run this to figure out if it's working oh let's let's give it a try fingers crossed all right right so this kind of looks like Tetris uh but the the colors are a little bit off right the colors are different here and um I if you think about what's going what's going on here thej has this mechanic where you if you get three Jews in a

row you know then they they disappear uh and also gravity activate right so what happens if you get three of the colors together okay so something happened um so I think I think what SC did in this version um is is that you know once you connect three at least three blocks of the same color in a row then um know gravity activates and they disappear and then gravity activates and all the other blocks fall down um kind of kind of curious if there's still a Tetris mechanic here where if the line is full does

it actually um clear it or what happens it's up to interpretation you know so who who knows yeah every I mean when it'll do different variants when you ask it it doesn't do the same thing every time exactly we've seen a few other but Tetris that worked very differently but this one seems cool so yeah are we ready for uh game Studio at x. a yes so we're launching uh an AI gaming studio at xci if you're interested in joining us and building AI games uh please join xai we're launching an AI gaming studio we're

announcing it tonight let's go epic games but that's an actual game ST me yeah yeah um all right so um I think one thing is super exciting for us uh is that once you have the best pre Trend model you have the best reasoning model right so we already see that we you actually give the capability for those model to think harder uh think longer think more broad the performance continue improves and we're really excited about the next front here that what happen if we not only allow the model to think harder but also provide

more tools just like call real humans to solve those problems for real humans we ask them to solve reman a hypothesis just with a piece of pen and paper no internet so with all the basic web browsing search engine and code interpreters that builds the foundations and the best reasoning model builds the foundations for the gro agent to come um so today we're actually introducing a new product called Deep search that is the first generation of our gr agents that not just helping the engineers and researchers and scientists to do coding but actually help everyone

to answer questions that you have dayto day it's a kind of like a Next Generation search engine that really help you to understand the universe so you can start asking question like for example hey when is the next Starship lunch day for example um so let's try that if get the answer um on the left hand side we see uh a high level progress bar essentially you know the model knowledge is going to do one single search like the current rack system but actually thought very deeply about hey what's the user intent here and what

other the facts I should consider at the same time and how many different website I should actually go and read their content right so this can really save hundreds hours of everyone's Google time if you want to really look into certain topics and then on the right hand side you can see the bullet summaries of how the current model uh you know is doing what websites browsing what sources is very verifying and often time actually cross validate different sources out there uh to make sure the answer is actually correct before it's output final answer and

we can you know at the same time fire up a few more queries um how about you know you don't you're a gamer right so uh sure yeah so how about what are some of the best builds and most popular builds in the path Exel hardcore right hardcore League I if you can technically just look at the hardcore ladder might be a fast way to figure it out yeah we'll see what model does um and then we can also do uh you know uh something more fun for example um how about like make a prediction

about the marsh madness out there yeah so this is kind of a fun one where um waren Buffett has a billion dollar bet if you can exactly match the I think the the the the sort of the entire winning tree of marsh Madness you can win a billion dollars from Warren Buffett so like it would be pretty cool if AI could help you win a billion dollars from Buffett that seems like a pretty good investment let's go yeah all right so now let's uh fire up the query and uh see what model does so we

can actually go back to our very first one how about the buff it wasn't counting on this it's already done that's right okay so we got the result of the first one the model thought uh around 1 minute uh so okay so the key inside here the knock Starship is going to be on 24 so or later so no earlier than February 24th it might be sooner so yeah so I think we can you know go down scoll down what what the model does so it does a little research on the flight 7 what happened

got grounded and actually it look into the FCC filing uh uh you know from its data collections uh and then actually make the new conclusion that yeah if we continue scroll down uh uh right yeah so it makes uh the you know little table I think uh inside xai we often joked about the time to the the first table is the only you know latency that matters um yeah so that's how the model make inference and look up all the sources um and then we can look into the gaming one so how about the right

so for this particular one uh we look at hey the you know the build is like it's kind all the better so uh with the uh The Infernal but if we go down so the surprising fact of all the other builds so it looks into to the 12 classes um yeah so we'll see that the minum build was pretty popular whenever the game first came out and now the the invokers of the world yeah took over invoker monke invoker for sure yeah that's right yeah followed by the stor wavers and that's really good at mapping

so yeah and then we can see uh uh the the match manness how about that so um one one interesting thing about the Deep search is that if you actually go into the panel where shows uh you know what are the subtasks you can actually click the bottom left of the spr and then in this case you can actually scroll through actually reading through the mind of grock what informations does the model actually think about are trustworthy what are not how does it actually cross valate different information sources so that makes the entire search experience

and information retrieval process a lot more transparent to our users and this is much more powerful than any search engine out there you can literally just tell it only use sources from X you know I will try to respect that yeah and so it's much more steerable much more intelligent I mean it really should save you a lot of time so something that might take you half an hour or an hour of researching on the web or searching social media you can just ask it to go do that and and come back in 10 minutes

later it's done an hours worth of work for you that's really what it comes down to exactly and maybe better than you could have done it yourself yeah think about you have INF of interns working for you now you can just fire up all the tasks and come back a minute later um so this is going to be interesting one so uh uh March M had not happened yet so I guess we have to follow up with a uh next live stream yeah it seems like pretty good like $40 might get you a billion dollars

$40 subscription that's right I mean my work so uh yeah so when are the users going to have their hands on gr 3 yeah so the the good news is we've been working tirelessly to actually release um all of these features that we've shown you the Grog free base model with amazing chat capabilities that's really useful that's really interesting to talk to uh the the Deep search the advanced reasoning mode all of these things we want to roll them out to you today starting with the premium plus subscribers on X so it's the first group

that will initially get access make sure to update your X app if you want to see all of the advanced capabilities because we just released the update now as we're as we're talking here um and U yeah if you're interested in getting early access to gr then sign up for premium plus um and also um we're announcing that we're starting a separate subscription for Gro that we call Super grock for those who those real grock fans that want the most advanced capabilities and the earliest access to to new features um so feel free to check

that out as well this this is for the dedicated grock app and for the website exact so our our new website is called gro.com yeah and you'll also find you never guess yeah you never guess and you can also find our grock app in the IOS app store and that gives you like a more Pol even even more polished experience that's totally Gro focused if you're if you want to have Gro know easily available one Tap Away yeah the version on gro.com on uh you know on web browser is going to be the the most

the latest and most advanced version because obviously it takes us a while to get thing get something into an app and then get it approved by the app store so uh and then if something's on a phone format there's limitations what you can do so the most powerful version of Gro um and the latest version will be the the web version at gro.com yeah so so watch out for the name grock free in the app dead giveaway yeah exactly that that's that's the giveaway that you have gr and if it says Gru then gr hasn't

quite arrived for yet but we're working hard to roll this out today um and then to even more people over the the coming days yeah make sure you update your uh phone app too um where you actually going to get all the tools we're showcase today with the thinking mode with the Deep search so yeah really looking forward to all the feedbacks you have yeah and I think we we should uh emphasize that this is kind of a beta like meaning that it's you should should expect some imperfections at first um but we will improve

it rapidly almost every day in fact every day I think it'll get better um so if you want a more polished version I'd like maybe wait a week but uh expect improvements literally every day um and then we're also going to be uh providing a voice interaction so you can have conversational in fact I was trying it earlier today it's working pretty well but not we need these bit more polish um the the the sort of weight where we can just literally talk to it like you're talking to a person uh it's uh that's awesome

it's actually I think one of the best experience of gr um but that's that's probably about a week away yeah so uh with that said um well I think we might have some audience questions sure yeah all right let's take a look yeah let's take a look the uh the audience from the as platform yeah Co so the first question here is when grock voice assistant when is it coming out yeah as as as soon as possible just like Elon said just a little bit of polishing away from being everybody um obviously it's going to

be released in an early form and we're going to rapidly iterate on it Y and the next question is like when will Gro 3 be in the API so this is coming in the uh the gro 3 API with both the reasoning models and deep search is coming your way in the coming weeks uh we're actually very excited about the Enterprise use cases of all these additional tools that now Gro has access to and how the test time compute and Tool use can actually really accelerate all the business use cases um and another one is

Will voice mode be native or text to speech so I think that means is it going to be one one model that is understanding what you say and then talking back to you or is it going to be some system that has text to speech inside of it and the good news is it's going to be one model like a variant of gr free that we're going to release which basically understands what you're say what you're saying and then uh generates the audio no directly from that um so very much like grf free generates text

that model generates audio um and that has a bunch of advantages I was talking to it earlier today and it said hi Igor know reading my my name from probably from some text that it had um and I said no no my name is Igor and it remembered that you know so it could continue to say Igor just like a human word and you can't achieve that with with Texas speech so on yeah so oh here's a question for you pretty spicy um you um is grog a boy or a girl and how they sing

gr is whatever you wanted to be yeah yeah are you single yes all right the shop is open um so honestly people are going to fall in love with crcket since like 1,000% probable yeah uh the next question will Gro be able to transcribe audio into text yes so we'll have this capability both the app and also the API we found that's like gr should just be your personal assistant looking over your shoulder and follow you along the way learn everything you have learned and really help you to understand the world better become smarter every

day yeah I mean The Voice M doesn't isn't simply it's not just voice text it understands like tone inflection pacing everything it's wild I mean it's like talking to a person okay um yeah so any plans for conversation memory yeah absolutely we're working on it right now I already forgot that's right um let's see what are the other ones so what about the you know the DM features right so if you have personalizations and you if you have uh you know Gro remembers your previous interactions yes should it be one Gro or multiple different GRS

it's up to you you can have one Gro or many GRS I suspect people will probably have more than one yeah I want to have a Dr Gro yeah the grock do that's right um right cool um so in the past we've open sourced grock one right so somebody's asking us are we going to do it again with gr tool yeah I think um once gr our general approach is that we will open source the last version when the next version is fully out so like when when gr 3 is um mature and stable which

is probably within a few months then we'll open source gr too mhm okay so we probably have time for one last question um what was the most difficult part about working on this project I assume um grock 3 and what I most excited about so I think me looking back you know getting the whole model training on 100K h 100 coherently that's almost like battling against the final boss of the universe the entropy CU any given time you can have a cosmic rid that beaming down and flip a bit in your transistor and now the

entire grading update if it's fit mantisa bit the entire grading update is out of whack and now you have 100,000 of those and you have to orchestrate them every time any at at any given time any of gpus can go down yeah I mean it's worth breaking down like how were we able to uh get the world's most powerful training cluster oper AAL within 122 days um because we when we started off um we we actually weren't intending to do a data center ourselves we were going to just uh we we went to the data

center providers and said how long would it take to have 100,000 uh gpus operating coherently um in a single location and we got time frames from 18 to 24 months so we're like well 18 to 24 months that means losing is a certainty so the only option was to do it do it ourselves so then if you break down the problem I guess I'm doing like reasoning here with like makes you think um one single chain though yeah yeah exactly so um well we needed a building we can't build a building so we must use

an existing building um so we we looked for um for basically for factories that had been um were that had been abandoned but the factory was in good shape like a company had gone bankrupt or something so we found an Electrolux Factory in memph in Memphis that's why it's in Memphis um home of Alvis um and also one of the oldest I think it was the capital of ancient Egypt um and uh it was actually very nice Factory that I know forever whatever reason that electrox had left um and uh that that gave us shelter

for the computers uh then we needed power the we needed um at least 120 megawatt at first but the building only had 15 megawatts and ultimately for 200,000 me 200,000 gpus we needed a quarter gwatt so we um initially uh leased uh a whole bunch of um generator so we have generators on one side of the building just one trailer after trailer trailer of generators until we can get the utility power to to come in um and then but then we also need cooling so on the other side of the building it was just trailer

after trailer of of cooling so we leased about a quarter of the mobile cooling capacity of the United States uh on the one other side of the building um then we need to get the gpus all installed and they're all liquid cooled so in order to achieve the density necessary this is a liquid cooled system so we had to get all the plumbing for liquid cooling nobody had ever done a liquid cooling uh data center at scale so this was a incredibly dedicated effort by a very talented team to achieve that outcome um I may

think not now it's going to work nope um the the issue is that the the power fluctuations for a GPU cluster are dramatic so it's it's like a a this giant Symphony that is taking place like a imag having a symphony with 100,000 or 200,000 participants in the in the symphony and the whole Orchestra will go quiet and loud in you know 100 milliseconds and so this caused massive power fluctuation so then um which then caused the generators to lose their minds and they they weren't expecting this so to buffer the power we then uh

used Tesla megapacks uh to smooth out the power so the megapacks had to be reprogrammed so with with xai we working with Tesla we reprogrammed the mega packs to be able to deal with these dramatic power fluctu fluctuations to smooth out the power the computers could actually run properly and um that that worked uh it's quite tricky and uh and then but even at that point you still have to make the computers all communicate effective so all the networking had to be solved and uh debugging a Brazillian network cables um a debugging nickel at 4:

in the morning I we solved it like roughly 4:20 a.m. yes than was figured out like there's some well there were a whole bunch of issues well like one there was like a bios mismatch the virus was not set up correctly yeah we had to div our lspci outputs between two different machines one that was working yeah one that was not working many many many other things I mean yeah exactly this would go on for a long time if we actually listed all the things but you know it's like interesting like it's not like oh

we just magically made it happen you have to break down the problem just like grock does for reasoning uh into the constituent elements and then solve each of the constituent elements in order to achieve uh a a coherent train training cluster in a period of time that is a small fraction of what anyone else was could do it in and then once the training cluster was up and running and we could use it now we had to make sure that it actually stays healthy throughout which is it own giant Challenge and then we had to

get every single detail of the training right in order to get a gry level model which is actually really really hard so um we don't know if there are any other models out there that have gr's capabilities but whoever trains a model better than gry has to be extremely good at the the science of deep learning at every aspect of the engineering um so it's it's not so easy to to pull this off and this is now going to be the last cluster we built and last modway train oh yeah we've already we've already started

work on the next cluster which will be yeah about five times the power so instead of a qu gwatt roughly 1.2 GW what's the what's the Back to the Future War what's the power on you do like the Back to the Future car yeah don't anyway the Back to the Future power car it's it's like roughly in that order I think um so um and you know these will be the sort of the gb2 200/300 cluster it it once again will will be the most powerful training clle in the world so we're not like stopping

here no and our reason model is going to continue improve by accessing more tools every day so yeah we're very excited to share any of the upcoming results with you all yeah the thing that keeps us going is basically being able to give gr free to you and then seeing the usage go up seeing everybody enjoy um no gr that's that's what really gets us up in the morning so yeah yeah thanks for tuning in thanks guys hey Gro what's up can you hear me I'm so excited to finally meet you I can't wait to

chat and learn more about each other I'll talk to you soon
