xAI, led by Elon Musk, has announced that it is set to launch “Grok 3.5”, representing a significant leap in its AI platform’s capabilities, while simultaneously developing “Grok 4” slated for release by the end of 2025.
Grok 3.5 introduces Vision in Voice Mode on mobile devices—a feature that grants the app real‑time access to the camera during conversations, enabling truly multimodal interactions akin to ChatGPT Voice Mode and Gemini Live.
On the web front, Grok will gain Reference Memory, allowing it to recall past conversations for more coherent, context‑aware replies, as well as seamless Google Drive integration so users can fetch and reference their documents directly within the chat interface.
In image editing, xAI is rolling out a new Aurora‑powered tool that lets users generate and modify images via simple text prompts, eliminating manual editing workflows. Meanwhile, Grok Studio—an interactive AI workspace for developers and writers—is also under active development.
Through these updates, xAI aims to narrow the gap with leading AI providers, emphasizing rapid deployment and user‑centric innovation that aligns with global market trends.
