Elon Musk's AI startup, xAI, is preparing to release its latest model, Grok 4, on Wednesday, July 9. The announcement was made by Musk on his social media platform, X, where he stated that the release will be livestreamed at 8pm PT.

Grok 4 is expected to offer significant advancements in language, math, and reasoning capabilities. It will also include Grok 4 Code, a coding assistant designed to aid developers. This release positions Grok 4 to compete with other leading AI models such as OpenAI's GPT-4o and Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro.

The development of Grok 4 has been a focus for xAI, with Musk indicating that the team has made substantial progress but requires "one more big run" for a specialized coding component. This suggests that the upcoming release will feature enhanced programming capabilities, further solidifying xAI's position in the competitive AI landscape.
