The announcement came during a live event hosted by xAI engineers and Musk. However, Grok 3 won't be available to everyone immediately. Only premium users of X will get access, and an extra subscription fee is required on top of that.

The anticipation before the launch of Grok 3 was real and post the launch, netizens have shared their take on the AI tool. Some are praising it and saying that this is one of the best AI tools till now, and some are slamming it over not being that good. Let us take a look at some of those reactions to understand the market acceptance of Grok 3 better.

Netizens React To Grok 3

A user after using Grok 3 for around two hours wrote, "As far as a quick vibe check over ~2 hours this morning, Grok 3 + Thinking feels somewhere around the state of the art territory of OpenAI's strongest models (o1-pro, $200/month), and slightly better than DeepSeek-R1 and Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking. Which is quite incredible considering that the team started from scratch ~1 year ago, this timescale to state of the art territory is unprecedented."

I was given early access to Grok 3 earlier today, making me I think one of the first few who could run a quick vibe check.

A third user wrote, "Grok-3 is the best model in the world. Everyone is surprised, but it turns out that Grok-3 really is the best model in the world right now. Both as non-reasoning and reasoning. It is impressive that Elon Musk and xAI have managed to build an outstanding model in such a short time. That is a truly outstanding achievement!"
