xAI team is unstoppable.
"Elon Musk says Grok 4.20 has completed pre-training"
it's natively multimodal, processing raw video/audio and detecting tone and emphasis.
i think Grok 4.20 is likely a new base model for Grok 5,
they wouldn't call a new model just 4.2, and post-training takes time
Elon is going all out.
this year alone, xAI is expected to launch 3 new foundational models and 2 upgraded versions
in just eight months, we've seen:
> Grok 3
> Grok 3.5
> Grok 4
> Grok 4 Heavy
now Grok 4.20 is coming soon, with Grok 5 planned by year's end
insane shipping pace.
