Elon Musk’s company xAI introduced its most powerful AI model Grok 4 to the world on July 10. Musk called it the world’s smartest AI. He said that Grok 4 has been designed in such a way that it has a PhD level understanding of any subject. Grok is also being trained for video generation. This year, the world’s first AI-generated TV show made from Grok and perhaps a complete AI-generated film will be released next year. Musk claims that by next year Grok can discover new technologies and perhaps new physics in 2 years. Musk said – Grok will have to make things like cars, rockets. Elon Musk said that traditional test questions like mathematics, logic, or academic benchmarks are no longer enough to test the capabilities of AI. Grok 4 has become so smart that it solves questions easily. Now the real test of AI will be in the real world, where it makes something concrete like cars, rockets, medicines and proves that it works. Example 4 features of Grok 4: 1. Physics-level compute power: The AI model has so much computing power that it can run simulations related to complex physics, that too at the same level as big scientists and researchers do. That is, this AI can create real-world like simulations by understanding and using the laws of physics. 2. Advanced reasoning: It can solve complex math problems and explain its reasoning process. It makes predictions using real-time tools. In the demo, it predicted a 21.6% chance of the Los Angeles Dodgers winning the baseball World Series. It scanned several sites and answered with its calculations. 3. Historical research: It can research historical data and create timelines based on events and social media activity. It can track public reactions. 4. Voice experience: XAI has launched new and extremely realistic voice models. Such as “Eve” with a British accent. Eve sang a fun opera on Diet Coke in the live demo. 5. Helping programmers: You can copy-paste your entire source code file into the query entry box. Grok 4 will fix it for you. That is, it can understand the programming code, find mistakes in it, and give suggestions to fix it. Real-world use 1. Business simulation (Vending Bench): Grok 4 outperformed all other models in a vending machine business simulation and created twice the net worth of the others. It demonstrated strategic thinking and planning. Vending machine business simulation is a type of computer-based test or model in which an AI is given the task of running a vending machine business just like in the real world. This means that the AI has to do all the tasks that are done in a real business. 2. Biomedical research (Arch Institute): Grok 4 was used to scan millions of experiment logs and generate hypotheses quickly. This accelerated research related to CRISPR. CRISPR is a technology used for gene editing. Scientists can cut the DNA of an organism in a very precise manner. This means that specific parts of DNA can be removed, changed or added. 3. Radiology and Finance: Grok 4 was considered the best model for reading chest X-rays. Also, it is being used with live tools and data for real-time financial decision-making. 4. Video Game Development: Developers created a fully functional 3D first-person shooter game in just 4 hours using the Grok 4 API. In the future, Grok will also be able to tell funny things by playing games. Future Plan: Coding Model and Video Generation Feature Launch 1. Coding Models: A special model for fast and smart coding is going to be launched in a few weeks. 2. Multimodal AI: Grok will improve the ability to understand images, videos and audio. 3. Video Generation: The company will train the video generation model with more than 1 lakh NVIDIA GB200 GPUs. The entire AI-generated movie will probably be released next year.
