Kind: captions Language: en Elon Musk just announced that Grok's next release is so powerful that he's calling it Groke 4 instead of 3.5. He claimed that Grok's new version will be the smartest AI by a significant margin. But here's what's really interesting. He's been dropping hints about this launch for weeks, one tweet at a time. I've tracked every single announcement he's made about Gro 4, and the timeline reveals something surprising about how confident he really is about this release. Welcome back to Bitbias.ai, AI, where we separate AI hype from reality. If you've been following the Gro 4 rumors, but want to know exactly what Elon himself has actually said versus all the speculation floating around, this video breaks down his complete timeline. I've compiled every tweet, every claim, and every promise he's made about Gro 4's capabilities and release date. From his gym selfie hints to the official launch announcement, here's the real story of how Grock evolved from version 3.5 to 4 in just 10 days, and why that matters more than you might think. Elon's Gro 4 timeline from hints to launch. If you want to know how serious XAI is about competing with GPT4 and Claude, just look at what Elon Musk himself has been posting. Over the past few weeks, he's been teasing, renaming, and finally confirming the next Grock release, one tweet at a time. Let me walk you through the complete timeline of what we know straight from Elon himself. It all started on June 15th when Elon posted something that seemed like just another workout photo, but look closer at the caption, "Training Grock 3.5 while pumping iron at XAI." This wasn't just a fitness flex. Elon was telling us that model training was still actively happening in mid June. The model wasn't finalized yet, but it was very much in development, and he was personally involved in the process. Then 5 days later on June 20th, Elon dropped a bombshell statement that got everyone's attention. I'm increasingly confident that Grock 3.5 will be the smartest AI by a significant margin. Notice he was still calling it Groke 3.5 at this point, but the message was crystal clear. He genuinely believes XAI's model will surpass GPT4, Gemini, and Claude. That's an incredibly bold claim that immediately raised expectations across the entire AI community. But the real gamecher came on June 22nd when Elon revealed something massive about the user experience. Deep search and think will activate automatically as needed in Gro 3.5. This is huge because it means you won't have to manually turn on advanced reasoning or web search anymore. Gro will intelligently decide when to go deeper, when to research, and when to think harder about your question. It's essentially becoming a truly autonomous AI assistant. Then something interesting happened on June 24th. Elon casually tweeted, "Actually, we should call it Gro 4 as it's a major upgrade over 3.5." Just like that, we witnessed the official rebrand in real time. This wasn't just a marketing decision. Elon was signaling that the improvements were so significant, they deserved an entirely new version number. We were looking at a foundational shift, not just another incremental update. And finally, on June 27th, Elon gave us what we'd all been waiting for. working on Grok 4 should release after July 4th weekend. This was the first official confirmation of both the new name and an actual timeline. The training phase is essentially complete and we're looking at a launch window of July 5th through 7th. So, what does this entire timeline tell us? First, Gro evolved from version 3.5 to 4 in just 10 days because Elon believes the improvements are that revolutionary. Second, he's clearly hands-on with this project, personally timing updates and confidently positioning Grock to compete directly with the biggest names in AI. Third, with Deep Search and Think automatically activating, this won't just be another chatbot that answers questions. It'll be an AI that reasons and researches autonomously. And most importantly, Gro 4 isn't some distant coming soon promise anymore. Based on Elon's timeline, we're looking at a launch within days, not months. The question now is whether the actual product can live up to the increasingly bold claims he's been making. The moment Gro 4 launches, I'll be here with real hands-on testing to see if it lives up to Elon's bold claims. What do you think about his timeline strategy? Let me know in the comments below.
