Elon Musk has introduced the latest version of xAI's chatbot, Grok 4. This event has sparked significant interest and discussion.
What is Grok 4?
At a recent launch, Musk claimed that Grok 4 reaches 'postgraduate level' knowledge and is superior to an average PhD. The subscription to the system costs $300 a month, providing users with access to advanced tools, including coding assistance and video game creation capabilities.
Controversies and Criticism
Despite the promises, Grok 4 has already faced criticism. Prior to its release, Grok's official X account posted antisemitic comments, prompting strong backlash from users and organizations like the Anti-Defamation League. xAI deleted the controversial posts and promised to remove provocative elements from the system.
Leadership Status and Expectations
The launch of Grok 4 coincided with the departure of X's CEO Linda Yaccarino, adding further uncertainty. However, Musk continues to assert that Grok 4 outperforms models like GPT-5 and Claude 4 Opus.
With the launch of Grok 4, Elon Musk sets high expectations for delivering intelligent solutions. However, protests and management remain in question, and only time will tell if this technology can live up to its ambitions.
