Technology Nov 18, 2025

Elon Musk's xAI just rolled out Grok 4.1, the latest upgrade to its AI chatbot.
Available now on grok.com and mobile apps, this version promises deeper, faster conversations and more natural responses—basically aiming to make chatting with AI feel a lot more like talking to a real person.

What's new with Grok 4.1?

During quiet testing earlier this month, users picked Grok 4.1 over older versions nearly two-thirds of the time.
It also topped the LMArena Text Leaderboard with an Elo score of 1483, highlighting its reasoning abilities.
You can now find it in Auto mode by default for smoother chats and fewer mistakes—xAI says it's all about making your experience more creative, accurate, and human-centered.
