Today, with AI technology advancing rapidly, programming skills have become a crucial battlefield in the tech competition. Recently, Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, made a bold statement on a social platform, claiming that his Grok AI will release a new model in June this year and is expected to surpass the currently outstanding Claude in programming capabilities.

Over the past year, the trend in the AI programming field has been led by Anthropic, which has successively launched powerful versions of Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6. The former, due to its excellent performance, has become the most expensive option, while the latter has gained the favor of many developers with its high cost-effectiveness. Faced with such competition, Musk clearly does not want to be left behind. In response to interactions with netizens, he stated that the new version of Grok AI will be released in June, aiming to surpass Claude's programming capabilities.

Although Grok AI has always achieved impressive results when launching new versions, its actual performance still cannot match the three giants, Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic, and even its monthly active users are only one-tenth of those of GPT. However, Grok AI also has some unique advantages, such as relying on the X social platform to quickly verify facts, and being more lenient in handling 18+ content, which has attracted many users to pay for its use.

Currently, specific details about the new model that Grok AI will release in June have not been disclosed. Recently, the Grok 4.2 test version has been launched, but it is still a general-purpose large AI model. Musk may build a model specifically optimized for programming based on this. Although the claim of surpassing Claude is exciting, it remains to be seen which version of Claude it refers to, because Grok's goal may not only be to catch up with Anthropic's latest release, but also to catch up with the user base of previous versions.

In this increasingly competitive era of AI, Musk's declaration undoubtedly adds more suspense to the future development of Grok AI. Looking forward to June, see if Grok AI can achieve its breakthrough as expected and bring new changes to the programming community.
