Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company, xAI, has launched a surprise offensive with the quiet release of its new Grok 4.1 model series. The update arrives in two variants—the standard Grok 4.1 and the deep-reasoning-enabled Grok 4.1 Thinking—both of which are now freely available to users.
On the LMArena leaderboard, Grok 4.1 Thinking made a dramatic debut at the very top with an Elo score of 1483, while the non-reasoning standard Grok 4.1 swiftly followed, securing second place.

Incidents of AI hallucinations have likewise dropped dramatically—from 12.09% to 4.22%—substantially strengthening the system’s practicality and reliability.
