Key Features of Grok 4

1. Two Different Variants

Grok 4 (Generalist Model):

  • Grok 4 generalist model is built for general, day-to-day use.
  • It is particularly good at writing, research, translation, and general reasoning.
  • Grok 4 has function calling and structured output generation support.
  • It also includes enhanced math, logic, and natural language processing skills.

Developer Model for Grok 4 Code:

  • Grok 4 introduced a developer model tailored for programmers.
  • It offers assistance with code generation, completion, and debugging.
  • It offers contextual help and live coding suggestions by directly integrating with code editors (like Cursor).
  • Large 131,072 token context window: this makes it possible to understand entire codebases rather than just individual lines of code.

2. Advanced Reasoning and Logic

  • This model has enhanced multi-step reasoning, analytical depth, and logical coherence.
  • Better than older Grok versions and competitive in solving complex scientific and mathematical issues.

3. Multimodal and Real-Time Capabilities

Multimodal Support:

Grok 4 should provide support for not just text but also vision and image generation, where it can understand and generate memes and graphics.

Real-Time Web Search:

It binds live web search to get the latest information, documentation, and technical references.

4. Developer Ecosystem and IDE Integration

  • The new Grok 4 has embedded code execution environment within the xAI interface, akin to a full IDE.
  • It also supports 20+ programming languages, such as Python, JavaScript, Java, C++, Go, and others.
  • File management, version control, and automated testing frameworks for a full development environment.
