Elon Musk's AI startup, xAI's Grok, has surpassed OpenAI's ChatGPT, Alphabet Inc. subsidiary Google’s Gemini, and China’s DeepSeek to become the leading productivity app on Apple Inc.’s App Store.

What Happened: On Thursday, Musk shared a screenshot on X showcasing Grok's remarkable achievement. He pointed out that Grok has climbed to the top position even before launching its voice mode and several other features expected soon.

"This is without voice mode and many other features coming out in the next few days," Musk stated.

Why It Matters: This milestone follows the release of Grok 3 on February 18, which brought improved AI functionalities, including image analysis capabilities.

The launch came on the heels of DeepSeek introducing a potent open-source model that made waves in the finance world in January 2025.

Grok 3 is now available to Premium+ subscribers on X, Musk's social media platform. In addition, xAI is rolling out a new subscription option called SuperGrok for users accessing the chatbot through the mobile app and Grok.com.

Last November, Musk's AI venture was valued at $50 billion.

Meanwhile, an investor group led by Musk made an offer of $97.4 billion to acquire OpenAI's nonprofit assets. However, the company opted not to proceed with the deal.
