News Summary

Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, has launched its latest AI model, Grok 4, along with a new premium subscription plan called SuperGrok Heavy, priced at $300 per month. Grok 4 aims to compete with models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini by analyzing images and responding to questions. The launch follows a tumultuous period for Musk’s companies, including the recent departure of X’s CEO, Linda Yaccarino, and controversy over antisemitic comments made by Grok’s automated account. Despite these challenges, xAI claims Grok 4 shows frontier-level performance on benchmarks such as Humanity’s Last Exam and the ARC-AGI-2 test. The model is available through xAI’s API, and the company plans to release additional AI products in the coming months.
