OpenAI’s o3 model has triumphed over Elon Musk’s Grok 4 in the final of a Kaggle-hosted AI chess tournament, crowning it the top large language model in the contest. The event featured eight AI systems from OpenAI, xAI, Google, Anthropic, DeepSeek, and Moonshot AI. While Grok had dominated earlier rounds, it faltered in the final, repeatedly losing its queen. Chess grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura called OpenAI’s play “convincing” and Grok’s performance “blundering.” Google’s Gemini secured third place. The tournament, designed to test reasoning and strategy skills, echoes historic human vs. computer chess battles like Garry Kasparov’s loss to IBM’s Deep Blue in 1997. (PC: BBC)
