How does Grok 3's

Grok 3 has several new features and modes:
* Think Mode: This optional setting activates Grok 3’s multi-step reasoning process. Instead of immediately providing an answer, it breaks problems into smaller steps, evaluates different solutions, and refines its response before outputting a final result. Think mode is especially useful for complex problem-solving, mathematical proofs, coding challenges, and logic-based tasks[2].
* Big Brain Mode: This is Grok 3’s high-performance setting that allocates extra computational resources to handle demanding tasks. When enabled, Grok 3 takes longer to process queries but delivers higher accuracy, deeper insights, and more detailed responses. Big Brain mode is particularly useful for scientific research, multi-layered AI tasks, and highly complex problem-solving scenarios, where standard inference might not be enough[2].
* DeepSearch: This is xAI’s built-in research tool, allowing Grok 3 to browse the web, verify sources, and synthesize real-time information before generating an answer. Unlike standard AI models that rely on pre-trained data, DeepSearch pulls in fresh information, making it ideal for news, market trends, technical research, and fact-checking[2].
* Grok 3 Mini: This is optimized for speed and lower compute usage while still retaining Grok 3’s reasoning capabilities[2].

According to xAI, Grok 3 excels in reasoning tasks on mathematics, science, and coding assessments[1][3]. During a livestream event, xAI executives stated that Grok 3 outperforms Google’s Gemini, OpenAI’s GPT-4o, Anthropic’s Claude 3.5, and DeepSeek’s V3 model in various benchmarks[3].
