Elon Musk released a major news on social platform X today, announcing that the new version of Grok application, its artificial intelligence company xAI, was officially launched. This news quickly attracted widespread attention in the technology circle and X users. Musk emphasized the newly upgraded Grok voice mode, saying that its interactive capabilities have been significantly improved and can bring users a more natural and intelligent conversation experience. The launch of this feature has undoubtedly injected new vitality into the field of AI chatbots.
The launch of the new Grok application marks another technological breakthrough in xAI. Musk wrote in his post: "The new version of Grok will be available on the App Store tonight. The voice function has undergone major improvements!" He also advised users to update the app as soon as possible to experience the latest features. Previously, Musk announced on February 22 that an early beta version of Grok Voice Mode had been launched in the Grok app, and admitted that "this is an early beta version, there may be some problems, but the fix will be fast, and the experience will still be great." The release of this new version of the app is obviously a quick response and technical optimization of the beta feedback.
The new Grok app is now available on X apps, standalone Grok apps, and official websites. Musk mentioned in his February 18 post that the official website will provide the fastest feature updates as it does not require an Apple or Android store approval process, avoiding a week-long delay. This flexibility ensures that users can experience the latest technology at the first time, further improving the user experience.
The core highlight of this update is the significant improvement in Grok's voice mode. Musk made it clear in his February 24 post that “the voice function has undergone significant improvements” and repeatedly previewed the importance of this feature in previous tweets. In a post on February 22, 02:21 PST, he revealed that "voice mode, memory functions and multiple improvements will be launched this weekend", showing that the xAI team has centrally optimized voice interactions in a short period of time.
The feedback from X users further confirms the appeal of this enhancement. Some users in the community have shared their early experiences, believing that the voice mode makes Grok's conversations more smooth and humanized, which is no less than OpenAI's ChatGPT voice mode and Google's Gemini Live. Musk has previously stated that Grok's voice capabilities are designed to provide a "natural dialogue" experience, and this update is undoubtedly the realization of this vision.
The release of the new version of the Grok app has aroused a warm response on the X platform. Musk posted on February 24 to celebrate: "The Grok app and X app both top the top! Great! Please update the app to get the latest features!" This achievement shows Grok's popularity among users. Many users say that the voice mode of the new version of the app not only improves interaction efficiency, but also increases the fun of use, especially when dealing with complex problems or daily conversations.
As xAI's flagship product, Grok has attracted attention since its launch with its real-time data access and straightforward answer style. The release of the new version of the application further consolidates its competitiveness in the AI chatbot market, especially in fierce competition with opponents such as OpenAI and DeepSeek. Musk had previously promised that Grok would continue to iterate, with the core of "maximizing truth-seeking", and this upgrade of voice mode is a reflection of this promise.
Musk is confident in Grok's development. He mentioned on several occasions that xAI plans to continuously improve Grok and launch more innovative features in the future, including stronger inference capabilities and multimodal interactions. The rapid launch of the new version of the application and the optimization of voice mode show the efficient execution of xAI in technical iteration.
With the global promotion of Grok applications (previously launched as a standalone application on February 19), and the improvement of features such as voice mode, this AI tool may play a greater role in education, productivity assistance and entertainment. Musk's suggestion "trying Grok voice mode" is not only a product promotion, but also an invitation to users to experience future technology.
The release of the new Grok application marks another breakthrough in xAI in the field of AI interaction. From Musk's consecutive posts on X, he can see his confidence and expectations for this version. With the significant improvement of voice mode experience, Grok is entering user life with a smarter and more humane attitude, becoming another strong proof of AI technology innovation.
