Grok 4: Elon Musk’s “PhD-Level” AI Outshines OpenAI & Google on Major Benchmarks
Grok 4 was unveiled by Elon Musk’s xAI in a late-night livestream, pitched as the “smartest AI in the world” and “PhD-level” across disciplines. Grok 4 features enhanced reasoning and logic, multimodal understanding of text and images, and meme-grasping capabilities. A dedicated Grok 4 Code developer model supports programming tasks, with Musk claiming you can paste an entire source file for Grok 4 to fix. Grok 4 retains real-time internet access via xAI’s DeepSearch on X, allowing up-to-date answers on current events. Grok 4 is designed to provide direct, “truth-seeking” responses with less sanitization and potential humor, while moderation evolves.
