Grok 4.2: xAI’s Direct, Opinionated Chat Model

xAI’s direct chat model for current topics and open debate

Grok 4.2 is xAI’s chat model, with a direct, opinionated style that suits current topics, open-ended questions, getting a clear point of view and brainstorming. It answers straight away, without a separate thinking step.

On CherryChat it searches the web automatically and cites sources when you need current information. It works with text only: it cannot read images and does not support tool use. For images, creating files or more complex coding, switch to the newer Grok 4.7.
