Elon Musk and xAI employee announced on Wednesday night the launch of the startup's next flagship AI model, Grok 4.

In a livestream with xAI colleagues, the billionaire entrepreneur described current AI systems as “primitive” and not for “serious” commercial use.

Grok 4 stands as Elon Musk’s boldest AI release to date. Positioned to compete directly with OpenAI’s GPT-5 and Anthropic’s Claude 4 Opus—both recently praised for their rapid processing, sharp reasoning, and cutting-edge visual capabilities—Grok 4 aims to match, if not exceed, the current benchmarks in the AI landscape.
