Grok 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.
ChatGrok 4.1 Fast
Grok 4.1 Fast is xAI's best tool-calling model released November 2025, featuring a 2M context window and halved hallucination rates versus Grok 4 Fast. It comes in reasoning and non-reasoning modes and is optimized for agentic workflows with native support for web search, X search, and code execution.
