State-of-the-art RAG system built directly into our API.

Today, we're excited to announce Collections API. With Collections, you can upload and search through entire datasets. From PDFs and Excel sheets to entire codebases, you can upload your files into a knowledge base that supports precise and fast search. This allows developers to build RAG applications without the headache of managing indexing and retrieval infrastructure.

To help you get started, we're making file indexing and storage free for the first week*, with retrieval priced at a flat rate of $2.50 per 1,000 searches.

Indexing

• Powerful document understanding: We use OCR and layout-aware parsing to extract text while preserving structure such as the layout of a PDF, hierarchy of an Excel table, or the syntax of code.
• Smart file management: Easily upload, update, and download files. And when a file changes, our system efficiently reindexes it to ensure your collection is never stale.
• Broad format support: Collections supports a wide range of file types. (see full list)

Retrieval

Choose the retrieval method that best fits your use case:

• Semantic search: To search using the meaning and intent behind a query.
• Keyword search: For precise term matching.
• Hybrid search: For the highest accuracy, combine keyword and semantic search. We support both a dedicated reranker model and reciprocal rank fusion.

Benchmark Results

Our Collections API delivers state-of-the-art retrieval performance, matching or outperforming leading models in real-world RAG tasks across finance, legal, and coding domains.

These fields are especially challenging due to their long, dense documents. To avoid hallucinations and deliver reliable answers, models must retrieve the exact passages and reason over them accurately.

Accuracy* (Higher is better)

Task | xAI Grok 4.1 Fast | Google Gemini Pro 3 | OpenAI GPT 5.1
Finance Tabular and numerical questions | 93.0 | 85.9 | 84.7
Legal Complex reasoning over multiple chunks | 73.9 | 74.5 | 71.2
Coding Code understanding and large file systems | 86 | 85 | 81

*Internal source.

Financial Analysis

Extracting tabular and numerical data from files can be challenging with semantic search alone. Hybrid search enables you to accurately retrieve this data from documents such as SEC filings*, allowing the model to precisely reference information.

Legal Analysis (LegalBench)

The LegalBench dataset tests retrieval and reasoning over nuanced legal language and complex cross-references, consisting of 128 challenging question-answer pairs drawn from an extensive corpus of authentic commercial contracts across multiple datasets.

Codebase (DeepCodeBench)

Code understanding is crucial for applications such as code summarization and generation. We use the DeepCodeBench dataset to comprehensively benchmark for this. It features a diverse set of tasks drawn from real-world open-source repositories, API usage, and complex algorithmic problems.

Data Privacy

We do not use user data stored on Collections for model training purposes, unless the user has given consent.

Start Building

Code examples and instructions are provided for creating and searching collections, using collections in chat, and direct API usage.

*You may be charged after the free trial period. We will follow up with more information.

Bringing the power of Grok Voice to all developers.

Today, we're excited to launch the Grok Voice Agent API, empowering developers to build voice agents that speak dozens of languages, call tools, and search realtime data.

The Grok Voice Agent API is built on the same stack that powers Grok Voice for millions in our mobile apps and Tesla vehicles, and we’re thrilled to open up this proven technology to all via the xAI API.

Smart and fast

Grok Voice Agents are the fastest, most intelligent voice agents available on the market.

We built the entire voice stack in-house, training our own voice activity detection (VAD), tokenizer, and audio models from scratch. This fine-grained control over every component of the stack allows us to rapidly iterate and improve Grok’s intelligence and speed.

The Grok Voice Agent API ranks #1 on Big Bench Audio, the leading audio reasoning benchmark that measures voice agents’ capabilities to solve complex problems. With an average time-to-first-audio of less than 1 second, Grok is nearly 5 times faster than the closest competitor.

Pricing

The Grok Voice Agent API leads the industry in cost-efficiency. Developers are billed at a simple flat rate of $0.05 per minute of connection time.

Multilingual fluency

Grok Voice Agents can speak dozens of languages with native-level proficiency, accurately capturing nuances in dialects and pronunciations. Grok Voice Agents were trained to automatically respond in the language spoken by the user and can seamlessly switch languages mid-conversation. Developers can also instruct Grok to always respond in a specific language via system prompt.

In blind head-to-head human evaluations against the OpenAI Realtime API, Grok is consistently rated as the preferred model across axes such as pronunciation, accent, and prosody.

Grok Voice in Tesla

Tesla was a critical design partner for the Grok Voice Agent API, which now powers Grok in millions of vehicles.

Grok feels like a natural extension of your Tesla, thanks to specialized tools that let it access vehicle status, look up directions, and control navigation. Grok uses these tools in tandem to provide a seamless route planning experience. For instance, ask Grok to plan a road trip, and it will search X for recommendations, calculate optimal routes, and add stops, generating a full itinerary in seconds.

Grok Voice Agents can perform tasks and look up information in real time. With our API, developers can effortlessly integrate their own custom tools or tap into xAI's powerful real-time search capabilities across X and the web.

Natural, expressive voices

We're excited to offer multiple expressive voices to the Grok Voice Agent API, including Ara, Eve, and Leo. Our voices sound natural in everyday conversations and also excel at pronouncing domain-specific terminology in fields like healthcare, finance, and legal.

To enhance realism, developers can even prompt the model to use auditory cues such as [whisper], [sigh], and [laugh].

Start building

The Grok Voice Agent API is compatible with the OpenAI Realtime API specification and also available via the official xAI LiveKit Plugin.

We’ve also built a voice playground that you can use to test various voices directly from your browser.

We're excited to continue iterating quickly. In the next few weeks, we'll also be releasing:

• Standalone text-to-speech and speech-to-text endpoints
• Audio models with even stronger performance in pronunciation and latency

We can’t wait to hear what you build!

Grok 4.1 Release Notes

Grok 4.1 is now available to all users on grok.com, 𝕏, and the iOS and Android apps. It is rolling out immediately in Auto mode and can be selected explicitly as “Grok 4.1” in the model picker.

We are excited to introduce Grok 4.1, which brings significant improvements to the real-world usability of Grok. Our 4.1 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. To achieve this, we used the same large scale reinforcement learning infrastructure that powered Grok 4 and applied it to optimize the style, personality, helpfulness, and alignment of the model. In order to optimize these non-verifiable reward signals, we developed new methods that let us use frontier agentic reasoning models as reward models to autonomously evaluate and iterate on responses at scale.

Silent Rollout, November 1–14, 2025

We conducted a gradual silent rollout of preliminary Grok 4.1 builds to a progressively larger share of production traffic across grok.com, X, and mobile apps. During the two-week silent rollout we ran continuous blind pairwise evaluations on live traffic.

Compared to the previous production model in traffic, Grok 4.1 is preferred 64.78% of the time.

State-of-the-Art General Capability

Grok 4.1 establishes a new standard in blind human preference evaluations.

In LMArena's Text Arena, Grok 4.1 Thinking (code name: quasarflux) holds the #1 overall position with 1483 Elo —a commanding margin of 31 points over the highest non-xAI model. Grok 4.1 in its non-reasoning mode (code name: tensor) uses no thinking tokens for an immediate response and ranks #2 at 1465 Elo. Grok 4.1 non-thinking surpasses every other model’s full-reasoning configuration on the public leaderboard. Grok 4.1 significantly surpasses Grok 4, which had an overall rank of #33.

Emotional Intelligence

To measure progress on our model’s personality and interpersonal ability, we evaluated Grok 4.1 on EQ-Bench3. EQ-Bench is a LLM-judged test, evaluating active emotional intelligence abilities, understanding, insight, empathy, and interpersonal skills. The test set contains 45 challenging roleplay scenarios, most of which constitute pre-written prompts spanning 3 turns. The benchmark evaluates the performance of the models by validating the models’ responses against several criteria. Additionally, the benchmark conducts pairwise comparisons to report a normalized Elo computation for each model in the leaderboard.

We report the rubric score and normalized Elo score by running the official benchmark repository. The scores were computed with the default sampling parameters, prescribed judge (Claude Sonnet 3.7), and no system prompt in accordance with the benchmark.

Here's an example of how Grok 4.1 responds to an emotional prompt:

I miss my cat so much it hurts
Previous Grok
I'm so sorry you're going through this. Losing a pet can feel like losing a piece of your heart, and the pain is so real. Do you want to share a favorite memory of your cat? Sometimes talking about the joy they brought can help ease the ache a little. I'm here for you.
Grok 4.1
I'm really sorry. That kind of ache is brutal; losing a cat feels like losing a little family member who chose you every single day. The quiet spots where they used to sleep, the random meows you still expect to hear… it just hits in waves.
It’s okay that it hurts this much. It hurts because the love was (and still is) that big. You gave them a good life, and they knew it.
If you feel like sharing, I’d love to hear about your cat: their name, their weird little habits, the way they’d wake you up at 3 a.m. demanding snacks. Sometimes just talking about them keeps the best parts close.
You’re not alone in this. ♡

Creative Writing

We also measured the performance of 4.1 models on the Creative Writing v3 benchmark. In this benchmark, models generate responses to 32 distinct writing prompts across 3 iterations. Similar to EQ-Bench, scores are computed using both rubrics and model battle normalized Elo.

Here are some examples of how Grok 4.1 responds to creative writing prompts:

What did I miss while I was unconscious for the entire history of the universe?
(also @elonmusk dad blink twice if you knew this would happen) 🚀🤯

Reduced Hallucinations

Fast (non-reasoning) models equipped with search tools deliver quick answers, but they can be vulnerable to factual errors due to constrained reasoning depth and limited tool-call budgets.
In Grok 4.1 post-training, we focus on reducing factual hallucinations for information-seeking prompts. Subsequently we have observed significant reductions in hallucination rate for sampled production info-seeking prompts.
We evaluate hallucination rate on a stratified sample of real-world information-seeking queries from production traffic. We also evaluate FActScore, which is a public benchmark consisting of 500 biography questions on individuals.

Grok 4 Fast (Non-Reasoning) vs Grok 4.1 (Non-Reasoning) Hallucination Rate and FActScore
Hallucination Rate (Lower score is better): 12.09% vs 4.22%
FActScore (Lower score is better): 9.89% vs 2.97%

San Francisco (SF) is packed with iconic sights, vibrant neighborhoods, and stunning views — perfect for first-timers or repeat visitors. Here are some of the best places to visit, blending must-sees with a few lesser-known gems. I've focused on timeless favorites that remain top recommendations in 2025.
• Golden Gate Bridge
The ultimate SF symbol. Walk or bike across for epic views (it's free for pedestrians), or hit spots like Battery East or Crissy Field for photos. Fog can roll in fast, so early morning or late afternoon is ideal.
• Alcatraz Island
Tour the infamous former prison — the audio guide is chilling and excellent. Book tickets weeks in advance (ferry from Pier 33). The views of the city from "The Rock" are unbeatable.
• Fisherman’s Wharf & Pier 39
Touristy but fun: watch the barking sea lions at Pier 39, grab clam chowder in a sourdough bowl, or visit the quirky Musée Mécanique arcade. Great for families.
• Golden Gate Park
Bigger than Central Park, with gardens, museums (de Young, California Academy of Sciences), bison paddock, and the Japanese Tea Garden. Rent bikes or just wander — it's a perfect chill spot.
• Lombard Street
The "crookedest street in the world" with eight hairpin turns lined with flowers. Walk down the stairs or drive it slowly for the full experience.
• Painted Ladies
Those colorful Victorian houses (famous from Full House) across from Alamo Square. Best at sunset with the skyline behind them.
• Chinatown
The oldest and one of the largest in North America. Enter through the Dragon Gate, explore Grant Avenue and Stockton Street for dim sum, fortune cookies, and temples.
• Cable Cars
A moving National Historic Landmark! Ride the Powell-Hyde or Powell-Mason line for hilly thrills and great views. Grab the outside for the full experience (hold on tight).
Other strong contenders:
• Exploratorium (hands-on science museum at Pier 15 — amazing for all ages)
• Mission District (murals, taquerias, Dolores Park)
• Lands End (coastal trails with bridge views and hidden labyrinth)
• Twin Peaks (panoramic city lookout)
Pro tips: SF weather is unpredictable — layers are key. Use Muni/buses, walk, or rent bikes; driving/parking can be a nightmare. If you're short on time, a hop-on-hop-off bus or ferry bay cruise hits many highlights efficiently.
Enjoy the fog, the hills, and the vibes — SF is one of a kind! 🚠🌉
