The training cost of Grok 3 is much higher than that of DeepSeek-R1, but the performance gap is not that big. I am not optimistic about Grok 3.

I should notice that they didn't mention any comparison to DeepSeek-R1, they compare it to the previous one DeepSeek-V3

Then you don't understand how the market works. The company with the best AI model (for the same price) would eventually take over the whole market if things remained static. Being 90% as good doesn't get you 90% of the money, it gets you 0%. Obviously the company's fight for leadership position and customer's have preferences on API integration etc. so it's not as simple as being the "best" but R1 is dead in the water. It's slow, expensive to host, and the Deepseek hosted solution is absolutely gobbling up everyone's data, no one with serious $$$ to spend is spending it on Deepseek.
