Elon Musk announced that his company xAI plans to release Grok 5, the next iteration of its artificial intelligence model, before the end of 2025. Musk described Grok 5 as "crushingly good," emphasizing its anticipated performance. This announcement follows Musk's recent claims that the current Grok 4 model significantly outperforms OpenAI's newly launched GPT-5. Musk has criticized the GPT-5 launch as underwhelming, while also highlighting the rapid development cycle of Grok models, with three base models released within one year. The release of Grok 5 is part of Musk's strategy to challenge the dominance of competitors like OpenAI and Google in the AI space. Additionally, there is speculation about a future Grok 6.9 model, which some consider a potential game changer.
