Elon Musk just confirmed that xAI’s next-generation Grok 4 model will debut tonight via livestream. This marks a major leap in AI with new features, deeper intelligence, and a likely coding powerhouse.
Grok 4 is arriving Wednesday, July 9, at 8 PM PT, streamed live on X by xAI. It’s not just a version bump—this is xAI skipping 3.5 entirely and delivering a full-featured new AI model, aimed at real-world use cases from coding to complex problem solving.
Key Takeaways
- Release date: July 9, 8 PM PT
- Skip to 4: No Grok 3.5—xAI went straight to Grok 4
- Developer Focus: Includes “Grok 4 Code,” with built-in code editor & debugging help
- Sharper Brain: Promises advanced reasoning, logic, math, and NLP improvements
- Tidied Knowledge Base: Musk says it’ll purge “garbage data” and rewrite core knowledge
What’s Happening Tonight
Elon Musk confirmed via X:
“Grok 4 release livestream on Wednesday at 8 PM PT @xAI”
This launch follows his June tease about “grinding all night” on a specialized coding model, needing one more “big run” before release.

Why It Matters
- Developers: If Grok 4 Code delivers smooth IDE integration, it could reshape coding workflows.
- Everyone: Improved logic and cleaner data could result in more accurate, trustable AI.
- AI Race: This comes hot on the heels of GPT‑5 and Gemini upgrades—xAI is claiming this is a leap, not a tweak.
