xAI has formally lunched Grok 4 throughout a livestream with Elon Musk, who referred to as it the “smartest AI on the planet.” He mentioned that for those who make the Grok 4 take the SATs and the GREs, it might get close to good outcomes each time and might reply questions it is by no means seen earlier than. “Grok 4 is smarter than virtually all graduate college students in all disciplines concurrently” and might purpose at superhuman ranges, he claimed.

Musk and the xAI staff confirmed benchmarks they used for Grok 4, together with one thing referred to as “Humanity’s Final Examination” that contained 2,500 issues curated by material consultants in arithmetic, engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, humanities and different matters. When it was first launched earlier this 12 months, most fashions might solely reportedly get single digit accuracy. Grok 4, which is the only agent model of the mannequin, was in a position to resolve round 40 p.c of the benchmark’s issues.

The brand new mannequin is healthier than PhD degree in each topic, Musk mentioned. Generally it might lack widespread sense, he admitted, and it has not but invented or found new tech and physics. However Musk believes it is only a matter of time. Grok goes to invent new tech perhaps later this 12 months, he mentioned, and he can be shocked if it would not occur subsequent 12 months. In the meanwhile, although, xAI is coaching the AI to be a lot better at picture and video understanding and picture era, as a result of it is nonetheless “partially blind.”

Through the occasion, Musk talked about combining Grok with Tesla’s Optimus robotic in order that it might work together with the actual world. An important security factor for AI is for it to be truth-seeking, Musk additionally mentioned. He likened AI to a “tremendous genius baby” who will ultimately outsmart you, however which you’ll be able to form to be truthful and honorable for those who instill it with the fitting values.

What Musk did not speak about, nevertheless, is Grok’s latest turn towards antisemitism. In some latest responses to customers on X, Grok spewed out antisemitic tropes, praised Hitler and posted what appears to be the textual content model of the “roman salute.” Musk did reply to a put up on X concerning the subject blaming the issue on rogue customers. “Grok was too compliant to person prompts,” he wrote. “Too desirous to please and be manipulated, basically. That’s being addressed.”
