xAI released Grok 4.20 Beta, scoring 48 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index — up 6 points from Grok 4. Pricing dropped significantly ($2/$6 vs $3/$15), and it achieved the lowest hallucination rate ever tested. But overall intelligence still trails the frontier of 57, held by Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview and GPT-5.4.
