More AI Models From xAI
Grok 4.3
Grok 4.3 is xAI's latest flagship reasoning model, designed for agentic workflows, instruction following, and tasks demanding high factual accuracy. It accepts text and image inputs with always-on reasoning that cannot be disabled. The model supports a 1 million token context window with no output token limit, making it well suited for long-document analysis and multi-step agent tasks. Priced at $1.25 per million input tokens and $2.50 per million output tokens, it delivers improved cost-efficiency over its predecessor Grok 4.20 — scoring higher on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index while costing roughly 20% less to run. Grok 4.3 showed a major jump in real-world agentic task performance, gaining over 300 Elo points on GDPval-AA versus Grok 4.20. It also scores 98% on τ²-Bench Telecom and 81% on IFBench. A strong pick for developers building cost-sensitive agent systems that need reliable tool use and instruction adherence.
ChatGrok 4.20
Grok 4.20 is xAI's flagship large language model, offering a rare combination of low hallucination rates and high throughput at competitive pricing. It achieved a record 78% non-hallucination rate on the Artificial Analysis Omniscience benchmark — the highest of any model tested — making it a strong choice for applications where factual reliability matters more than peak reasoning scores. It scored 78.5% on GPQA Diamond and 87.3% on MATH-500. The model supports a 2M-token context window, text and image inputs, parallel function calling, structured outputs, and built-in web search. Reasoning can be toggled on or off per request via API parameter. At $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens, it's one of the most affordable frontier models available, with output speeds exceeding 230 tokens per second.
ChatGrok 4.20 Multi-Agent
Grok 4.20 Multi-Agent is a variant of xAI's Grok 4.20 purpose-built for orchestrating multiple AI agents that collaborate on complex, multi-step tasks in real time. Rather than relying on a single inference pass, it coordinates parallel agents that independently search, analyze, and cross-reference information before synthesizing a final response. At low or medium reasoning effort it runs 4 agents; at high or extra-high effort it scales to 16. It scored a 68.7 agentic index on Artificial Analysis — among the highest available. The model shares Grok 4.20's 2M-token context window and natively supports web search, X search, and tool orchestration. It generates up to 2M output tokens per response, making it well suited for deep research workflows, multi-source analysis, and long-running agent pipelines.
