Optimized for long‑form planning and robust agentic behavior, Grok 4 features a 256k context window and excels at step‑by‑step problem solving, math, logic, and instruction alignment. While multimodal capabilities are limited, Grok 4 dominates in text‑only domains and outperforms previous models across multiple SOTA evaluations.
Grok 4 is designed for advanced reasoning and complex tool‑use workflows. Built on the Grok 3 architecture with 10× more reinforcement learning compute, it sets state‑of‑the‑art scores on tasks like ARC-AGI‑2, AIME25, and Humanity’s Last Exam (HLE).
xAI Grok 4 Description
Grok 4 is the latest large language model from xAI, designed for high-level reasoning, agentic behavior, and real-world task automation. It builds upon Grok 3’s architecture, but trains reasoning with 10× more compute and integrates tool use directly into its RLHF pipeline.
