Investing.com-- Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup xAI has launched Grok 4.1, a new version of its chatbot model that the company says delivers sharper reasoning, richer emotional intelligence, and improved creative capabilities.
The model, now available on Grok.com, X, and mobile apps, is rolling out immediately and can be accessed in Auto mode or selected directly as “Grok 4.1,” xAI said in a statement.
The upgrade follows a two-week silent rollout earlier this month in which the system was tested on live traffic.
xAI said Grok 4.1 shows a 64.8% win rate in blind preference tests over the previous version, and now tops the LMArena Text Leaderboard, outperforming rival systems from Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL), Anthropic, and OpenAI.
The company said Grok 4.1 is designed to be more emotionally perceptive and conversational, while maintaining “razor-sharp intelligence.”
The model also recorded strong results on EQ-Bench, an emotional intelligence benchmark, and creative writing tests, reflecting its improved ability to respond empathetically and stylistically.
xAI said it reduced hallucination rates through new methods that use agentic reasoning models to evaluate responses.
