xAI launched Grok 4 on July 9th, and it promptly posted record scores on arc‑AGI, GPQA, and Humanity's Last Exam. The new AI model is available in two versions: Standard Grok 4 for Premium+ users and Grok 4 Heavy for the new SuperGrok Heavy tier, a $300-per-month option that allows multiple agents to cross-check answers.
