August 11, 2025 – In a major announcement this morning, Elon Musk revealed that Grok 4, the latest AI model from xAI, is now accessible to all users at no cost. While free users will have a daily limit on the number of queries they can make, those who exceed this cap will have the option to subscribe for continued access.
According to an official post on xAI’s X account, Grok 4 simplifies the user experience by automatically routing complex queries through its “auto” mode. However, for those who prefer more control, there’s an “expert” mode that allows users to fine-tune their interactions. During an initial trial period, xAI has promised generous usage allowances for all users.
Musk has previously touted Grok 4 as the world’s most powerful AI model, claiming it performs at a doctoral level in academic tasks. Official benchmarks released by xAI support these claims, showing that Grok 4 holds its own against top-tier models from OpenAI and Anthropic in terms of real-time processing speed, reasoning capabilities, and advanced visual understanding.
Powered by xAI’s Colossus supercomputer, Grok 4 boasts enhanced logical reasoning and text generation capabilities. One of its standout features is its ability to mimic natural human speech patterns, enabling more fluid and engaging conversations. Additionally, the model offers real-time internet access and demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of internet culture, accurately interpreting memes, slang, and humor.
