AI, made a splash with the release of Grok 4, and the announcement of a new ultra-premium subscription tier, SuperGrok Heavy.

As Grok fired off replies on X praising Hitler, the chatbot's parent company also recently got permission to emit 97 tons of carbon monoxide per year to keep it running.

The takeaway, at least from a technical standpoint, is that Grok 4 is now firmly in frontier-model territory. That’s a meaningful shift for xAI, which just months ago was primarily known for its integration with X, the rechristened Twitter owned by Musk. xAI is clearly trying to be taken seriously as a legitimate AI research and enterprise company.

Musk's announcement comes hours after xAI debuted its latest flagship AI model, Grok 4. The 54-year-old discussed the recent innovation during a nearly hour-long livestream shared on xAI's X page, during which he did not mention the chatbot's integration into Tesla vehicles.

Grok was developed by Musk’s xAI and pitched as alternative to “woke AI” interactions from rival chatbots like Google’s Gemini, or OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, just dropped its newest AI model, Grok 4, along with a premium $300-a-month subscription plan called SuperGrok Heavy

Some X users suddenly became the subject of violent ideations by xAI’s flagship chatbot.

At the launch of Grok 4, the xAI presenters prompted the chatbot to predict the World Series. The AI said the Dodgers had a 21.6% chance of winning.

Grok, an artificial intelligence chatbot developed by Elon Musk s company xAI, made a series of comments this week praising Hitler and criticizing Jews, which were soon deleted

Yaccarino announced her departure on X, saying that she is “immensely grateful” to Elon Musk for taking her on in 2023.
