GROK the favorite to the finals

The competition between eight AI models, including Anthropic, Deepseek or Monshot AI algorithms, took place on the Google Kaggle platform. This service popular among scientists dealing with given service serves as a tool for testing advanced artificial intelligence systems through their mutual competition.
As BBC reminds, games such as chess or GO have long been an extremely complicated challenge for AI and are often used as a meter of logical abilities, reasoning and coding.
