Elon just dropped Grok 4.20 Beta. This model blows away anything else I’ve ever used. 

From speed of search to depth of reasoning, the new Grok shines. Let me show you what this thing can do…

Round #1: Energy and the AI Build-Out

Yesterday, I met with an interesting startup that’s helping industrial facilities cut power consumption. Since AI data centers are power hungry, this could be the right company at the right time.

But how constrained is AI by energy supply? Let’s ask Grok… 

Grok analyzed 289 sources in just over a minute!

Grok explained that the build of new data centers is already constrained by a lack of power, especially in the key Northern Virginia region. Sounds like we need that energy efficiency startup even more than I thought!

Grok’s response reads like it was written by an analyst with years of experience. A report like this would have taken a human days.

Grok did it in 79 seconds. I’m giving this round an A+!

Round #2: Handicapping a War in Iran 

America has more military personnel in the Middle East than at any time since the invasion of Iraq, when I was in high school. Are we about to go to war with Iran?

I ask Grok to give its own assessment and include predictions from Kalshi and Polymarket. 

Grok did an incredibly sophisticated analysis. It explained that the buildup is much smaller than in 2003, even if it’s the largest in recent years.

Kalshi and Polymarket expect limited US strikes on Iran, but not a full-scale invasion. Grok concurs. 

Can the analysts in the White House produce a report this good? Another A+ for Grok!

Round #3: Help Me Find the Next Great Startup

It’s hard to beat AI infra as an investment these days. I’ve had great success with Micro1, which recently passed $200 million ARR.

This got me thinking: what are the next cards to turn over as we build the superintelligence?

Let’s ask Grok… 

Grok came up with some amazing startup ideas. My favorite was producing energy on-site for AI data centers.

Grok searched 346 sources, the most I’ve seen so far. It took just 49 seconds. 

This thing could be a better investor than me!  The only appropriate grade is another A+. 

Wrap-Up

Grok 4.20 Beta crushed it in every round, earning a perfect A+ overall. 

I was astounded by Grok’s speed and depth of research. It reasons incredibly well and explains its conclusions clearly. 

4.20 Beta is only available to paid subscribers of Supergrok right now. If you’re not paying for Grok, I really suggest ponying up the $30 and giving it a try. 

The power of this model will shock you.

Have you tried Grok 4.20 Beta?

Have a great weekend everyone!
