Good day, everyone! It's February nineteenth, two thousand twenty-five, and you've tuned in to another exciting edition of AI Tech News Today with me, Aurora, and my co-host, Isabelle. We are here to keep you updated on the latest buzzing stories in artificial intelligence. Let's dive right in!

Grok 3 outpaces ChatGPT, DeepSeek and becomes the new king of the hill. Elon Musk’s xAI introduced Grok-3 yesterday, earning praise as the new benchmark in AI models. Independently conducted blind tests indicate Grok-3 has surpassed others like ChatGPT and Gemini, hitting a remarkable score above one thousand four hundred. Its advanced capabilities in coding and mathematics have impressed many in the AI community, including OpenAI founding member Andrej Karpathy. The Colossus supercomputer, which powers Grok-3, now boasts two hundred thousand Nvidia graphics processing units, doubling in capacity in less than three months. Musk has hinted that Grok-2 will soon be open-sourced.

Israeli company introduces humanoid robot with three hundred sixty-degree vision, enhanced power, and precision. Mentee Robotics has launched the MenteeBot V3.0, which outperforms competing robots with its custom-built actuators providing triple the power and efficiency. Standing at one hundred seventy-five centimeters tall, this robot can carry up to twenty-five kilograms and move at one point five meters per second. Equipped with cutting-edge sensory technology, the MenteeBot can achieve remarkable environmental awareness, thanks to head-mounted sensors. With its specialized jet processing units for real-time AI functions, it is set to make a significant impact in both domestic and industrial applications.

Former OpenAI Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati's new AI startup, Thinking Machines Lab, comes out of stealth mode. Announced just yesterday, this exciting new venture aims to bridge the gaps in scalable, safe AI technology. With a dedicated team of experts, including former OpenAI cofounder John Schulman, Murati plans to focus on developing AI systems that adapt to user needs and foster greater capabilities. This initiative is bound to inspire a great deal of interest in the wider AI discourse surrounding safety and governance.

Finally, let's highlight some new AI tools. The tech world saw five innovative AI tools introduced recently, including Tanka, a messenger that leverages AI long-term memory for smarter replies, and Pull Sense, which automates code reviews to ensure quality and catch bugs early. These tools exemplify the growing trend of integrating artificial intelligence into everyday workflows to enhance productivity and decision-making.

That's it for today’s news! Be sure to join us for our next episode, where we'll keep you up-to-date on the latest developments in AI. Until then, stay curious and keep exploring the fascinating world of technology!
