What's Grok 4?

Grok 4 is xAI's newest big AI model, Grok 4 delivers a 10x increase in reasoning power compared to its predecessor. The model has superior reasoning capabilities, scoring near perfect on difficult exams such as the SAT and GRE, and outperforming other cutting-edge models in a number of benchmarks. grok 4 supports multimodal functionality, understands subjective concepts, generates code and visualizations, and features significant improvements in voice interaction. grok 4 is available in two versions, Grok 4 Heavy, a single agent version, and Grok 4 Heavy, a multi agent version that supports four agents. Grok 4 is divided into two versions, Grok 4 is a single agent version, and Grok 4 Heavy is a multi agent version, which supports four agents working at the same time, and the context window supports up to 256k tokens.

Core Benefits of Grok 4

Interdisciplinary performance at the doctoral level: Exceeds the doctoral level in all major subjects such as mathematics (AIME 25 out of 25), physics, chemistry, and humanities.
The Ultimate Human Exam Breakthrough: In the HLE benchmark test covering 2,500 PhD-level puzzles, Grok 4 Heavy (multi-agent mode) became the first model in the world to pass the halfway mark with an answer rate of 50.7%.
AGI Test Leadership: Record score of 15.81 TP3T on the ArcAGI v2 test, which is close to the standard for general-purpose AI, twice as much as the second-place finisher (Claude Opus).
Grok 4 Heavy Multi-Agent Collaboration: It supports parallel reasoning of 4 intelligences, and improves the efficiency of complex problem solving exponentially through cross-validation and scheme optimization.
Real-time dynamic optimization: MLB Championship probability prediction was completed in just 4.5 minutes in the demo, integrating information retrieval, data modeling and probability computation.
arithmetic crushing: Based on Colossus supercomputer (200,000 GPU cluster), training computation is 100 times higher than Grok 3, and response speed is increased by more than 50%.
First token generation delay: 10 seconds in 32K tokens context, 15% faster than Grok 3.
special coding model: Grok 4 Code supports one-click embedding into IDEs (e.g. Cursor), and code generation accuracy and efficiency exceeds that of GPT-4 Code Interpreter.
API Automation: It supports function calls, JSON structured output, and can automatically trigger external APIs, which is suitable for high-precision scenarios such as finance, law, and healthcare.
Cost Advantage: $3 per million tokens input and $15 per million output, only 1/3 the cost of Claude 3 Opus.
