Tesla CEO Elon Musk has announced that his AI startup, xAI, will release its latest model, Grok 4, on Wednesday, July 9. The release will be livestreamed at 8pm PT on Musk's social media platform, X. Grok 4 is expected to offer high performance in language, math, and reasoning, and it will be accompanied by Grok 4 Code, a coding assistant for developers [1].
The release comes as xAI continues to develop its AI capabilities, with Musk stating that the team has made good progress on Grok 4 but still needs "one more big run" for a specialized coding component [2]. This suggests enhanced programming capabilities in the upcoming release, positioning Grok 4 to compete with other leading AI models such as OpenAI's GPT-4o and Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro.
Musk's announcement follows a period of significant AI activity in the industry. Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has announced a sweeping reorganization of its AI efforts, creating a new division called Meta Superintelligence Labs to develop advanced AI systems [2]. Meanwhile, Chinese technology giant Baidu has released its Ernie 4.5 family of large language models as open source, potentially disrupting the global AI landscape [2].
The release of Grok 4 could have implications for Tesla's stock performance, particularly given Musk's recent political activities. Tesla's board may become involved if Musk continues his political interventions, as suggested by Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives [3]. Investors should closely monitor the release and Musk's political activities for potential impacts on Tesla's stock price.
