The world's most advanced AI launched yesterday.

Built on the Colossus supercomputer with 100,000 GPUs.

10x more powerful than its predecessor.

Here's what Grok 3 means for humanity:

It happened at 8 PM Pacific Time, February 17, 2025.

Elon Musk's xAI unleashed what he claims will be "the smartest AI on Earth."

But this wasn't just another AI launch.

The technology behind it is absolutely mind-blowing...

Meet Colossus - the beast powering Grok 3.

This supercomputer has unprecedented processing power:

• 100,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs
• Built in just 122 days
• Deployed in only 19 days

But here's where it gets interesting:

The raw computational power is staggering:

• 98.9 exaFLOPS at dense FP/BF16
• Doubles to 197.8 exaFLOPS with sparsity
• Can reach 395 exaFLOPS at sparse FP8 precision

And xAI is already planning to double its size to 200,000 GPUs.

But the real breakthrough lies in how Grok 3 uses this power:

Unlike other AIs, Grok 3 can:

• Self-correct through data review
• Train on synthetic data
• Process complex legal scenarios
• Deliver "compelling legal verdicts"

The implications for humanity are staggering. Here's why:

First, the legal system will transform.

Grok 3's extensive training on court cases allows it to:

• Analyze thousands of legal documents
• Understand complex statutes
• Process multiple aspects simultaneously
• Predict potential outcomes

But that's just the beginning...

In healthcare, Grok 3 could revolutionize how we treat diseases.

Its advanced processing capabilities could enable:

• Analysis of medical literature
• Processing of clinical trial data
• Early disease detection
• Personalized treatment plans

And in scientific research?

Grok 3 can:

• Analyze experimental data
• Generate hypotheses
• Design theoretical experiments
• Suggest practical applications

All while maintaining logical consistency through its self-correction mechanisms.

But there's a darker side to this technology:

The job market will face massive disruption.

Entire professions - from legal analysts to medical researchers - could be transformed overnight.

Some roles will disappear.

Others will be enhanced by AI.

This raises a crucial question:

How do we ensure this technology benefits everyone, not just the elite?

xAI's solution:

Make Grok 3 free for all X users.

But this raises new concerns about privacy and data protection...

The biggest worry?

Dr. Sarah Martinez from the AI Safety Institute has raised concerns about Grok 3's sophisticated capabilities.

The potential for misuse is enormous.

Dr. Stuart Russell emphasizes the need for rigorous third-party evaluation.

Yet there's hope:

The focus is on:

• Preventing unintended bias
• Ensuring transparency
• Protecting privacy
• Maintaining accountability

But will these measures be enough?

The truth is, Grok 3 represents a turning point for humanity.

Its power could either:

• Accelerate human progress
• Or widen societal divides

The outcome depends on how we choose to use it.

The implications are clear:

The next wave of AI innovation will be driven by computational power.

But there's something even more fundamental that will determine who wins this race:

Infrastructure.

This is where Europe has a hidden advantage:

Our nuclear expertise and energy infrastructure could power the next generation of AI.

But bureaucracy is holding us back from unlocking this potential.

The solution? A new model of innovation:

At Sesterce, we're pioneering a different approach:

Building an AI infrastructure powered by Europe's energy advantage.

Because the future of AI isn't just about algorithms.

It's about the foundation that powers them.

The $1 Billion war against Google has begun.

A startup founded by ex-OpenAI and Meta researchers is challenging the search giant.

Jeff Bezos and Nvidia are backing them with $165M.

Here's the technology Google doesn't want you to know about:

Humanity's Last Exam:

• 3,000+ questions
• 100+ subjects
• Math to Literature
• Science to History

It's like a Math Olympiad for AI.

And Perplexity just made history...

Their Deep Research tool scored 21.1% accuracy.

That might not sound impressive until you realize:

They beat Gemini Thinking, o3-mini, o1, and DeepSeek-R1.

But they've needed something else to take on Google:

Europe just launched its most ambitious project since the Euro:

Not a new currency or trade agreement.

But something that could finally end America's tech dominance.

Here's how 12 EU states and €37.4 billion will reshape the digital world:

For decades, Europe has been playing catch-up in tech.

While the US and China dominate AI, and semiconductors...

Europe has fallen behind, becoming increasingly dependent on foreign tech giants.

European companies account for less than 13% of the global cloud market.

The numbers are shocking:

European telecom investment dropped 2% in 2023, from €59.1B to €57.9B.

5G coverage trails behind:
• South Korea: 99%
• US: 98%
• Europe: 87%

But Europe just made a bold move that changes everything:

The greatest plot twist in tech history:

Elon Musk just bid $97.4B to buy OpenAI.

The same company he's suing for putting profit over public good.

But Sam Altman's response was unexpected:

"No thank you, but we will buy Twitter for $9.74B if you want."

A response that sent shockwaves through Silicon Valley.

But to understand why this matters, we need to go back to the beginning.

Here's what most people don't know about this wild story:

It started in 2015.

Musk co-founded OpenAI with Sam Altman as a nonprofit.

The mission was clear: develop AI that benefits humanity, not corporate profits.

Musk invested $45M between 2015-2018.

But something changed that would alter everything...

"Plug, baby, plug!"

That's what Macron declared at today's AI Summit in Paris.

While the US says "drill baby drill," France has a different plan:

Here are 5 HUGE announcements from his speech:

France just positioned itself to become Europe's AI powerhouse.

With a staggering €109 billion in private AI investments announced today, Macron's not playing around.

This matches the scale of recent US initiatives like Stargate, considering France's market size.

But here's what makes France uniquely positioned:

First: Energy is their secret weapon.

France produces more than 75% of its electricity from nuclear power.

Last year alone, they exported 90 terawatt hours of surplus energy.

Translation? They have abundant, low-carbon, reliable power for AI infrastructure.

But that's just the beginning...

The biggest AI summit in history is about to begin:

1000+ stakeholders from the private sector and civil society.

5 dedicated working groups tackling AI's future.

But what they're planning will shock everyone...

The Paris AI Action Summit isn't just another tech conference.

It's bringing together an unprecedented coalition of governments, companies, and experts from nearly 100 countries.

But there's something different about this summit that no one's talking about yet...

Previous AI summits focused on theoretical discussions.

This one? It's about action.

5 working groups have been actively preparing for months, involving over 800 participants from 5 continents.

Here's what makes this #AIActionSummit revolutionary:

This team just solved robot intelligence:

Their new AI controls robots with simple commands.

It works across 7 different platforms seamlessly.

Here's why this changes everything:

Imagine telling a robot "Pick up that extinct animal" and watching it grab a dinosaur toy.

Or asking it to "find something that could work as a hammer" and seeing it choose a rock over paper.

This isn't science fiction. @GoogleDeepMind just made it real.

But there's more:

Meet RT-2 (Robotic Transformer 2).

It's a vision-language-action model that integrates visual perception, language understanding, and action generation into a single system.

Traditional robots need separate systems for reasoning and manipulation. RT-2 unifies them.

The implications are staggering...
