Elon Musk has announced the release of Grok 4, the latest version of xAI’s language model, which is set to launch on July 9 at 8:00 p.m. Pacific Time (8:30 a.m. IST, July 10).
Elon Musk made a significant upgrade through his official X account, marking a significant upgrade from Grok 3.5, as xAI accelerates its innovation to compete with industry leaders.
Elon Musk announced the launch of Grok 4, stating, “Grok 4 release livestream on Wednesday at 8 PM PT @xAI.” This follows a hint in June about a debut after July 4. The new model skips the Grok 3.5 release and aims to outperform OpenAI’s GPT-4 and Anthropic’s Claude, achieving 35% on HLE and 87–88% on GPQA benchmarks. It features improved first-principles reasoning, coding tools, and text processing capabilities, with plans for added vision and image generation features.
