Whoa. Just when you thought ChatGPT was the undisputed champion, a post from a LinkedIn creator I follow just made a bold claim: Grok-4 from Elon Musk just topped it as the best AI.
I had to dig in. The original poster didn’t just make the claim; they provided the receipts. Here’s what the expert shared.
⚙️ How to Get Grok
First, the basics. The author lays out how to access the model:
- Go to grok .com
- Make sure you’re using the new Grok-4 model.
- It’s $30/month (a bit more than ChatGPT’s $20/mo).
✍️ 7 Prompts to Feel the Difference
This is the part that really blew me away. The creator shared 7 specific prompts to test Grok-4’s power. I’m sharing them here because you have to see this.
- PROMPT 1: Write a viral Linkedin post.
“Write just like me. Theme: [your topic, why it matters, with a contrarian take]. Then, copy my style: [copy & paste your best performant post].”
- PROMPT 2: Data Analyst.
First, you need to upload an Excel file.
“I’ve shared an Excel file with you containing data on [briefly describe the data]. As a data scientist, I need help analyzing this data to [state your specific goals, e.g., ‘identify top-performing products, detect seasonal trends, and explore relationships between quantity sold and revenue’]. Also, specify any particular aspects you’d like to focus on, such as trends, correlations, or anomalies.”
- PROMPT 3: Find the best tweets.
“Search deeply, and find the last 5 viral tweets from @[account], and explain their theme and why they want viral. Over a million impressions is considered viral.”
- PROMPT 4: Image.
“Draw Newton with an apple falling from his hand.”
(The original poster notes that Grok’s image model isn’t quite as good as ChatGPT’s yet.)
- PROMPT 5: Find gaps in an academic paper.
First, you need to upload the PDF.
“List all the reasons (with quotes) that this study is wrong. Focus both on external criticism from the internet + your own critical judgement.“
- PROMPT 6: Find someone, quickly.
“I need to find a [job title] for my [need], based in [country], who loves [quality]. Search through X, Linkedin, Upwork, Fiverr. Make a table.”
- PROMPT 7: Who am I?
“I am [name]. I want to know what Google & LLM like Grok know about me. Bonus: what could I do better?”
🚀 Why Grok is a Serious Contender
The author also shared some insane stats on why Grok is here to stay:
- An estimated $113B valuation on $17B raised.
- It reads PDFs, generates images, and has real-time access to X.
- xAI, run by Elon Musk, has 200,000 GPUs behind it.
This is just a summary of the incredible breakdown from this AI professional. For the full analysis, you should definitely check out the original post on LinkedIn!
