Scores by test
Methodology →What you need to know
Grok 4 distinguishes itself through high-fidelity handling of complex data structures and long-range context. It achieves a perfect 5/5 score in tabular data processing, strategic analysis, and long context utilization, making it a strong candidate for analyzing massive datasets or extracting insights from extensive documentation. Its reliability is further supported by top marks in faithfulness, multilingual capabilities, and persona consistency.
From a cost perspective, the model is positioned at a premium price point with a blended cost of $12.00/MTok. Given its overall rank of 83 out of 130 models and an average internal score of 4.15, the pricing is high relative to its general performance. Developers are paying a premium specifically for its specialized strengths in data organization and strategic reasoning rather than general-purpose intelligence.
The model struggles with agentic planning and creative problem solving, both scoring 3/5. Additionally, its safety calibration is low at 2/5, which indicates a tendency to over-refuse benign requests. This suggests the model may be overly restrictive, potentially hindering workflows that require nuanced or unconventional prompts.
Use this model if your primary requirement is high-accuracy processing of tabular data or strategic analysis across a 256K context window. Skip this model if you need an autonomous agent for complex planning, a creative brainstorming partner, or a model with flexible, low-friction safety boundaries.
