Grok 4 Initial Thoughts

I’ve been testing Grok 4 today and so far I am really impressed. From a reasoning perspective, its the best LLM I’ve worked with yet. There are some strange bugs with the text output I hope they clear up soon.

Grok 4 is slow! Although that might be because everyone in AI world is hammering away at it today running tests.

The API cost is the same as Grok 3 on a per token basis, but Grok 4 generates more tokens during reasoning than Grok 3. So it is smarter by thinking longer about the question.

I can’t wait for Grok 4 to be part of Pickaxe! Have you tried Grok 4? What do you think?

Sounds good. I’m excited to try it out! Always nice to see what Elon and his team(s) come up with.

What type of tasks do you think Grok 4 excels at the most (or is it too early to tell)? @thomasumstattd

Would be nice to get Grok 4 along with the FULL versions of Gemini 2.5 Flash & Pro! :raising_hands: @nathanielmhld

I’m not sure yet. I want to start testing it against Gemini 2.5 Pro for some of my reasoning tools.

Seems like Grok 4 can be great for actuarial & statistics-based Pickaxe projects @nathanielmhld

@thomasumstattd Grok 4 is officially on Pickaxe as of today!

I love it! Grok 4 is so good, especially if you don’t need a big context window.
