This February 2025 report covered an announced Grok 3 demonstration scheduled for Monday night, February 17th, 2025, at 8pm PT.

The retained launch screenshot above records the announced time. The original article also linked to January 2025 reporting, which remains a historical source link. We have not verified a parameter count or an independent performance ranking for this report.
xAI’s February 19, 2025 announcement described Grok 3 and Grok 3 mini, reasoning modes and DeepSearch. Those were provider claims at launch; this article reports them without treating them as independent benchmark results.

Editorial correction: An earlier version included an unattributed spokesperson quote. No attributable source for that quotation was retained with this article, so it has been removed from the reporting.
This is a historical launch report. It should not be used as a guide to current models, access or pricing.
Review note (2026-10-03): The launch timing above is reported from the retained February 2025 screenshot. For the provider’s dated description of the beta release, see xAI’s Grok 3 announcement, published February 19, 2025. Unsupported promotional prose, the parameter claim and the unattributed quote have been removed. The original images, URL and publication date remain.
