Musk has finally made a move, and the AI battlefield welcomes a super "disruptor"! He announced with great fanfare at the latest live release conference: Grok 4 is officially launched!
Even more astonishing is that this time it directly skips Grok 3.5, achieving a leap upgrade and firing on all cylinders! Musk declared: "This is currently the strongest AI model in the world, without exception."
He revealed that the training volume of Grok 4 has far surpassed that of previous generations, no longer existing on the same scale, which may also be a key reason for skipping 3.5 directly.
PhD-level academic performance, AI is no longer just 'talking'!
Grok 4 is not only fast, but more importantly — it can 'reason'!
Compared to many large models on the market that only reorganize existing data and provide 'routine' answers, Grok 4 can autonomously reason when faced with entirely new questions and provide reasonable conclusions, with academic capabilities comparable to that of a PhD.
Musk confidently stated: Grok 4 can handle almost any scenario, from academic research to business simulations, from logical problems to wildly creative questions; it can cope effortlessly.
Grok 4's intelligence index leads the world, is a new king emerging in the AI competition?
According to evaluation data from professional institutions:
Grok 4 Intelligence Index: 73
OpenAI's latest model: 70
Google Gemini 2.5 Pro: 70
China DeepSeek R1-0528: 68
With its leading advantage, Grok 4 successfully claims the title of "the strongest AI model in the world," officially joining the top AI competition track, colliding head-on with giants like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google!
AI is not just a tool, but a super intelligent being pursuing truth!
Musk admitted at the press conference: "The ultimate mission of AI is not to imitate humans, but to get as close to the truth as possible."
He described Grok 4 as a super genius child that needs to be instilled with values of kindness, integrity, and love, ultimately becoming a power that surpasses humanity.
Open API, high-level pricing, but worth looking forward to!
Currently, Grok 4 is open to the public via xAI API, with the following pricing:
Per million tokens input: 21.5 yuan
Per million tokens output: approximately 108 yuan
Although the price is higher than OpenAI's O3 and Google Gemini 2.5 Pro, it is more affordable than Anthropic's Claude 4 Opus, offering extremely competitive cost-performance.
"Whoever has Chinese people has AI"? Is there a Chinese face behind the tech giants?
Careful netizens noticed that a core technical staff member sitting next to Musk at the launch event seems to have a 'Chinese face,' further corroborating the long-standing saying in the AI circle:
"Whoever has Chinese scientists has the future of AI."
The future has arrived, and Musk may be redefining the ceiling of AI.
The birth of Grok 4 is not only a technological upgrade but also a display of Musk's ambition in the AI landscape.
He once said: "AI is not the end, but the beginning of evolution."
This time, Musk is not just making a model; he is building an entrance to the future.
