The most exciting aspect of this update for users is that, unlike previous paid models, this advanced version is now completely free and accessible to everyone. Tech enthusiasts can take advantage of the new capabilities via the Grok.com website, the "X" social network, as well as iOS and Android apps.
According to the company, Grok 4.1 is not just a technical upgrade—it also represents a significant improvement in the model's “behavior.” The new version better understands users’ intentions and emotional states, providing more sensitive and context-aware responses. Additionally, inaccuracies in previous versions have been minimized, and the output is clearer, more coherent, and complete. The system offers two distinct modes: “Quick” for fast daily responses and “Deliberative” for more complex tasks requiring deeper analysis.
It’s worth noting that in July, the company had already introduced Grok 4, which outperformed competitors in independent tests. However, that version was only available through an expensive subscription. With the release of Grok 4.1, xAI has now made this powerful technology widely accessible, intensifying competition in the AI space.
