Race for AI supremacy: Chinese-born scientists in Musk’s Grok squad line up against China
Elon Musk's AI startup xAI recently unveiled its latest chatbot, Grok 3, sparking discussion about the significant presence of Chinese developers within the company. This comes amid ongoing competition between the US and China in the AI sector, with each nation striving to develop superior AI models.
During the live stream launch of Grok 3, Musk highlighted its outperformance compared to Chinese startup DeepSeek’s V3 model and OpenAI’s GPT-4o in key areas like science, maths, and coding. Chinese media outlets have since emphasized the contributions of Chinese talent within the xAI team, noting that roughly one-third of xAI's founding members have Chinese heritage, including a core member who attended Zhejiang University, the same university as DeepSeek's founder.
