Grok 4: xAI introduces a major upgrade to Grok 4, Grok 4.1 is smarter and more emotional than ever..

Elon Musk's xAI released its Grok 4.1 artificial intelligence (AI) model on Monday. It's a successor to Grok 4, which debuted in July, and features several improvements and new features. The AI ​​company claims the new version offers improved emotional intelligence, creative writing, and fewer hallucinations. The company also shared the model's internal benchmark scores, showing it outperforms the Gemini 2.5 Pro and Claude 4.5 Sonnet in some metrics. It's worth noting that this is a major update to the fourth generation of Grok, not a new model.

Grok 4.1 Features

xAI announced the release of a new version of the AI ​​model in a newsroom post. Interestingly, Grok 4.1 was released in stealth mode between November 1-14. Users were randomly shown two responses, one of which was the new model. xAI says that users preferred Grok 4.1 over the previous model in 64.78 percent of cases.

Currently, the new AI model is available to all users on Grok.com, X (formerly Twitter), and the Android and iOS apps. Logging into an account is not required to use the model on the website. It is now the default model in Auto mode, and can be selected separately as Grok 4.1.

Speaking of improvements, Grok 4.1 significantly improves emotional intelligence. According to the company's internal tests, the model scored 1585 on EQ-Bench (1586 with Grok 4.1 Thinking), which is better than Gemini 2.5 Pro, Cloud Opus 4, and GPT-5. This means that the model now understands the nuances and tone of prompts better and responds accordingly, recognizing emotions.

The model's creative writing capabilities have also been upgraded. The company stated that LLM scored 1708.6 on the Creative Writing v3 benchmark, which is even higher than Claude 4.5 Sonnet. With this improvement, Grok 4.1 can now deliver better output in creative tasks like creating social media posts and writing short stories. Finally, the company also claims that the new model generates fewer hallucinations (false information) than its previous version.
