In less than 24 hours after its release, Elon Musk's latest AI model, Grok4, has sparked an online sensation. Whether it's programming challenges or multi-layered reasoning, Grok4 has demonstrated astonishing capabilities, especially in the famous hexagon ball programming test, where it successfully completed the task. The "wall-piercing" effect when returning to the center is even considered a clever design feature.
More excitingly, Grok4 is not only capable of handling simple physics problems but can also generate complex animations. In the demonstrations by netizens, the character animations created by Grok4 formed the text "Hello World" and "I am grok," and even drew smiley symbols. Tim Sweeney, founder of Epic Games, said that Grok4 is the key to artificial general intelligence. He even fed a paper to Grok4 and received profound insights, which surprised him greatly.

A prompt engineer named Alex conducted a comprehensive test on Grok4, designing eight tasks for comparison. Grok4 defeated the competitor OpenAI's o3 with perfect performance. Whether it's analyzing complex legal issues or converting Python code into Go language, Grok4 handled everything effortlessly. Additionally, Grok4 demonstrated clear logic and easy-to-understand explanations when explaining complex concepts to users of different age groups.
Notably, Grok4 also showcased decent visual and spatial reasoning abilities in the SVG drawing challenge. Although all models still need improvement in this area, Grok4's design indeed shows a solid foundation. A more advanced use case is simulating an expert collaboration environment. CEO Matt Shumer used Grok4 to achieve the ability of multiple "experts" from different fields working together to solve problems, with the time required and results being astonishing.
As more and more users explore the features of Grok4, what conveniences it will bring to people's work and life in the future is worth watching.
