—xAI has added references to Grok4 and Grok4Code in its developer console, signaling the imminent release of its next-generation AI model. This news has generated widespread attention in the industry regarding the features of the Grok4 series, marking another major advancement for xAI in the fields of general artificial intelligence and developer tools.
According to AIbase, the update in the xAI console shows that Grok4 will be xAI's flagship model, focusing on improving natural language processing, mathematical reasoning, and comprehensive reasoning capabilities, described as "the pinnacle of all-in-one AI." At the same time, Grok4Code, a model optimized for programming, is expected to integrate seamlessly with code editors (such as Cursor), providing developers with efficient code generation and problem-solving capabilities. The references to these two models have recently appeared in xAI's developer console, indicating that their public release is entering the final preparation phase.
The Grok4 series supports text input and plans to add visual processing and image generation functions in the future. It is reported that the context window of Grok4 is 130,000 tokens. Although it is slightly smaller than the ultra-large context windows of some cutting-edge models, xAI seems to focus more on optimizing reasoning speed and real-time applications. This strategy may give it an advantage in fast response and real-time interaction scenarios.
In addition, xAI provides developers access to Grok4 through an API. The API now supports text processing functions and will expand to multimodal capabilities in the future. The release of this API will further reduce the barriers for developers to integrate Grok4, promoting its application in various scenarios.
AIbase pointed out that the launch of Grok4 and Grok4Code reflects xAI's ambition in the AI field, aiming to directly compete with cutting-edge models such as OpenAI's GPT-4o and Anthropic's Claude. In just over a year, xAI has rapidly iterated from Grok1 to Grok4 with a small but elite team, demonstrating its impressive execution capability in the AI development field.
Notably, the Grok series of xAI stands out due to its deep integration with the X platform. Grok can utilize the real-time data stream of the X platform to obtain the latest social media updates and trends, providing users with timely and accurate answers. This feature gives it a significant advantage in handling real-time information and dynamic content.
xAI stated that the release of Grok4 is expected to take place after July 4th, with the exact date yet to be confirmed. The industry is looking forward to the Grok4 series bringing breakthroughs in reasoning capabilities, programming support, and multimodal processing, further advancing the application of AI technology in research, development, and business areas.
