Grok-4.1
by xAI
Grok-4.1 is a model from xAI, released on November 17, 2025. It has a 256K-token context window and can generate up to 8K output tokens. API pricing is $3 per 1M input tokens and $15 per 1M output tokens. It ranks #122 of 220 models by Intelligence Score with a score of 19.6.
Grok 4.1 (Non-Thinking) brings significant improvements to the real-world usability of Grok. The model is exceptionally capable in creative, emotional, and collaborative interactions. It is more perceptive to nuanced intent, compelling to speak with, and coherent in personality, while fully retaining the razor-sharp intelligence and reliability of its predecessors. Grok 4.1 uses no thinking tokens for immediate responses, making it faster while maintaining high quality. The model features reduced hallucinations compared to previous versions, with significant improvements in factual accuracy for information-seeking prompts. To achieve this, xAI used large scale reinforcement learning infrastructure to optimize style, personality, helpfulness, and alignment, developing new methods that use frontier agentic reasoning models as reward models to autonomously evaluate and iterate on responses at scale. Grok 4.1 includes comprehensive safety mitigations including refusal training, input filters for restricted knowledge, and adversarial robustness measures. The model demonstrates strong refusal rates on harmful queries (5% answer rate on chat refusals, 4% on agentic refusals) and improved honesty training to reduce deception.
