After GPT-5 launch, Musk asserts Grok 4 Heavy outperforms OpenAI’s new model.
OpenAI’s rollout of GPT-5 has caused a stir in the AI world—with users eager to test its new capabilities. Launched just hours ago, the model promises enhanced conversational fluency, deeper reasoning ability, and broader factual knowledge. Released across multiple tiers, it quickly became fodder for tech commentary and analysis.
Yet, before the dust had settled, Elon Musk fired back—claiming on X (formerly Twitter) that Grok 4 Heavy, his company’s AI model, is “smarter” than GPT-5 . While the claim is provocative, few details have been shared—raising questions about the metrics used and underlying benchmarks. The AI community is already abuzz, anticipating head-to-head comparisons and performance reviews.
This early exchange underscores a broader rivalry between AI leaders, with each side eager to claim dominance in innovation, safety, and practical application. Analysts suggest that such public posturing will intensify the push for capabilities while raising concerns about frenzy overshadowing responsible development.
As independent experts begin vetting GPT-5 and Grok 4 Heavy, the industry—and public—eagerly await objective evaluations. Will OpenAI uphold its lead, or will Musk’s challenge spark a shift in the AI hierarchy?
