Grok 4.1 Launch: A New Contender or Just Another Musk-take?
Elon Musk’s xAI has unleashed Grok 4.1, the latest AI hoping to leave hallucinations behind. Grok 4.1 Thinking leads with a top score of 1510 in LMArena’s Text Arena, leaving rivals wondering if they should start thinking too. But watch out, Google’s Gemini 3.0 is on the horizon, ready to shine.
Hot Take:
Elon Musk’s xAI rolls out Grok 4.1, proving once again that even AI prefers to think deeply about its life choices. While it’s upgraded, Grok 4.1 Thinking is here to remind us that if you’re not overthinking, are you even trying?
Key Points:
- Grok 4.1 and Grok 4.1 Thinking are the latest upgrades from xAI, free for users with some restrictions.
- The new models are reportedly 3x less likely to hallucinate, which is great because nobody likes an AI that imagines it’s a rock star.
- Grok 4.1 (Thinking) ranks #1 in LMArena’s Text Arena, while Grok 4.1 ranks at #19.
- The models are up against heavyweights like GPT 5.1 and the upcoming Gemini 3.0 from Google.
- Despite improvements, Grok 4.1 might not steal the crown this year as the competition heats up.
