Gold prices steady ahead of Fed decision; weekly weakness noted
Investing.com -- xAI’s Grok 3, the recent version of Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, has launched two significant updates, DeeperSearch and Edit Image, as of March 2025. The updates allow users to explore research queries in depth and easily modify visuals, showing a significant advancement from previous versions.
DeeperSearch, launched March 19, is an advanced version of Grok’s existing DeepSearch feature. It aims to provide more detailed answers to complex questions. Unlike DeepSearch, which provides quick answers from a wide but sometimes unreliable source pool, DeeperSearch takes more time, up to six and a half minutes, to search through a carefully chosen selection of sources for more in-depth insights.
Early feedback indicates that DeeperSearch provides more nuanced results, although it might not capture the full range of breaking news due to its narrower source base. This has raised questions about its specific role within xAI’s ecosystem.
The Edit Image feature, added on March 22, adds a creative aspect to Grok 3. It allows users to modify AI-generated or uploaded images using simple text prompts. This feature, integrated into the X platform and Grok’s standalone apps, utilizes the photorealistic capabilities of xAI’s Aurora model, introduced in late 2024.
Users can now easily modify visuals, similar to Google’s Gemini models, but with fewer content restrictions. The feature is still being gradually rolled out but has already impressed users.
The updates highlight xAI’s efforts to combine practicality with innovation. However, they have some limitations. DeeperSearch’s slower speed and selective sourcing may annoy users looking for instant updates. Similarly, the Edit Image feature’s lack of advanced editing options suggest there’s room for improvement.
