Grok 4 Set to Debut on July 10th: What We Know So Far

Businessman Elon Musk announced on his platform X that there will be a live stream of Grok 4 at 8 PM Pacific Time on Wednesday, which translates to 6 AM Thursday in Moscow.

It’s worth noting that this model was initially introduced by Musk on April 29 as Grok 3.5. At that time, he promised to release the new AI within a week, but later acknowledged that it required further refinement. Consequently, the release was delayed by two months, and the model was renamed Grok 4.

Details about the new model are still somewhat scarce. When he first announced Grok 3.5, Musk mentioned that the model would be capable of «reasoning from first principles,» meaning it could tackle problems that weren’t explicitly covered in its training data. The model is set to be available in two editions: the standard Grok 4 and Grok 4 Coder, which is specifically trained for programming tasks. Initially, there will likely be no free access; the first users will be subscribers of SuperGrok (priced at $30 per month) and X Premium + (priced at $40 per month).

Finally, last week, insider legit_api shared a leak on X regarding the model’s performance in benchmarks, as allegedly observed by testers.

According to the leaked image, Grok 4 shows significant improvement in the Humanity Last Exam, a benchmark that includes nearly 2,500 questions across various disciplines, designed to ensure that answers cannot be found on Google. HLE is traditionally regarded as one of the most challenging tests, and if these figures are accurate, Grok 4 has achieved results that are 70% superior to those of ChatGPT o3 — a notable advancement.
