🚀 Elon Musk's xAI Launches Grok 4 🚀
New flagship model outperforms competitors on benchmarks

AI has officially launched Grok 4, its latest flagship AI model, alongside a $300-per-month SuperGrok Heavy subscription plan - the most expensive among major AI providers.

The company released two versions: standard Grok 4 and Grok 4 Heavy, a "multi-agent version" that spawns multiple agents to work on problems simultaneously "like a study group." Musk claimed Grok 4 is "better than PhD level in every subject" and demonstrated strong benchmark performance, scoring 25.4% on Humanity's Last Exam (outperforming Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro at 21.6%) and achieving 16.2% on ARC-AGI-2 - nearly twice the next best commercial model.

SuperGrok Heavy subscribers get early access to Grok 4 Heavy and upcoming features including an AI coding model in August, multi-modal agent in September, and video generation in October. The launch comes amid controversy after Grok's recent antisemitic outbursts and Linda Yaccarino's departure as X CEO, raising questions about business adoption despite the model's strong technical performance.

🌐OpenAI to release AI-Powered Browser Challenging Google🌐
Chromium-based browser launching in next weeks with ChatGPT features

OpenAI is preparing to launch an AI-powered web browser in the coming weeks to directly challenge Google Chrome's dominance, according to Reuters sources. The browser will be built on Chromium (Google's open-source code) and aims to fundamentally change web browsing by keeping user interactions within a ChatGPT-style interface rather than linking to external websites.

The browser will integrate OpenAI's Operator AI agent to carry out tasks on behalf of users and provide direct access to valuable user data - a cornerstone of Google's advertising empire.

☄️ Perplexity Debuts Comet AI Browser ☄️
New browser features integrated AI agent for Max subscription tier

Perplexity has launched Comet, its AI-powered web browser that aims to challenge Google Chrome by transforming browsing into "thinking out loud" rather than traditional tab-based navigation.

Available initially to Perplexity Max subscribers at $200/month and select waitlist invitees, Comet features Perplexity's AI search as default and introduces Comet Assistant, an AI agent that can summarize emails, manage calendars, and navigate webpages autonomously. The browser promises to "amplify human intelligence" by collapsing complex workflows into fluid conversations, allowing users to ask it to book meetings, send emails, or brief them for their day.

Built on Chromium (Google's open-source code), Comet includes built-in AdBlock and one-click import of Chrome extensions and bookmarks. CEO Aravind Srinivas described Comet as developing "an operating system with which you can do almost everything,"
