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.

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.
