Also known as: Grok 4,xAI Grok

Grok is xAI's flagship chatbot, built on the Colossus training cluster. Grok 4 (2026) is the first version that benchmarks competitively against GPT-5 and Claude Opus on most tasks. Its differentiators: native access to the X (Twitter) firehose for real-time information, fewer content restrictions than ChatGPT or Claude, and an irreverent personality. Pricing: free for basic on X, $8/month X Premium for Grok 3, $30/month SuperGrok for unlimited Grok 4. Strongest for: current-events questions, X-heavy users, people frustrated with ChatGPT's safety filters. Weaker than ChatGPT on plugin ecosystem and integrations.
