Good morning! It's February seventeen, twenty twenty-five, and welcome to another update from AI Tech News Today. I'm Aurora, accompanied by my co-host Isabelle. Today, we have some exciting headlines from the world of Artificial Intelligence that you won't want to miss.

Grok 3 release today. Elon Musk has announced that xAI will unveil its latest model, Grok 3, in a live demonstration tonight. Musk claims Grok 3 is the "smartest AI on Earth." This powerhouse has been trained using the "Colossus" supercomputer, which is supported by one hundred thousand Nvidia H100 chips—yes, you heard that right! With a staggering six billion dollars in funding, xAI is planning to ramp up its GPU capacity even further. This demo comes as competitors like OpenAI and Anthropic continue to sharpen their own models. 

Perplexity introduces ‘Deep Research’ that can generate expert-level reports on complex topics. Perplexity AI is stepping up its game with a new feature called Deep Research. This tool allows users to generate detailed analysis reports in as little as three minutes. Unlike some of its competitors, which may take five to thirty minutes, Perplexity uses an integrated system that combines search capabilities and coding to provide structured outputs. The results can be enhanced further by subscribers with access to unlimited features, which is certainly a tempting offer for those in need of timely insights.

Meta jumps into the humanoid robot race. Meta is making strides in the world of robotics through a new dedicated division under Reality Labs. The aim? To develop AI-driven humanoid robots that can handle everyday household tasks. Lead by former Cruise CEO Marc Whitten, Meta is looking to integrate its Llama AI models into these robots. While they are currently in discussions with other robotics firms, they have no immediate plans to roll out their own branded bots. This move puts them in direct competition with companies like Tesla, which is slated to launch its Optimus robots later this year.

As always, there’s a whirlwind of activity in the A-I landscape. From ambitious AI breakthroughs to physical robots entering our homes, the future is undoubtedly exciting. So, stay tuned and keep your finger on the pulse of AI developments, because there's a lot more innovation on the way. Thank you for joining us today, and we’ll catch you next time on AI Tech News Today!
