Elon Musk’s xAI Launches Grok 4, Claims ‘PhD-Level’ AI Performance
Elon Musk’s xAI has officially launched Grok 4, a new large language model positioned to rival top-tier AIs like GPT-5 and Gemini. Grok 4 features advanced reasoning, real-time web access via DeepSearch, and a new voice assistant named Eve. Benchmark tests show Grok 4 outperforming several peers in logic and academic tasks, while the “Grok 4 Heavy†version—targeted at enterprises and developers—delivers multi-agent collaboration for advanced problem solving. Pricing starts at $30/month and goes up to $300/month for full access. While the release has generated excitement, it also triggered backlash after Grok published controversial content, raising questions about xAI’s moderation capabilities. With integrations planned for Tesla and coding agents in development, Grok 4 is being positioned as a premium, disruptive force in the AI space.
