Grok 4.20 Reasoning

by xAI

Grok 4.20 Reasoning is the reasoning-enabled production model of xAI's March 2026 Grok 4.20 generation, generating explicit chain-of-thought before responding to improve accuracy on complex logic, math, and multi-step problems. It spans a 2 million token context window, making it strong for long-horizon agentic workflows and research. The model integrates real-time X data when context is needed, supports native tool calling for external API invocation, and handles image input alongside text. Visible reasoning steps support transparency and debugging across multi-turn conversations. Released in March 2026, Grok 4.20 Reasoning targets accuracy-critical applications such as analysis, complex code generation, and structured reasoning where you need both explanations and the long context that extended tasks demand.
