Hong Kong has positioned xAI's Grok 4 as a leading force in productivity, as highlighted by a recent tweet from Mario Nawfal, which declared, "Hong Kong declared Grok King of Productivity!" This recognition underscores the city's rapid embrace of advanced artificial intelligence models to enhance efficiency across various sectors. The announcement comes as Grok 4, the latest iteration from Elon Musk's xAI, continues to expand its global footprint.
Launched on July 9, 2025, Grok 4 is touted by xAI as the "most intelligent model in the world," boasting advanced capabilities in reasoning, coding, and real-time search integration. It operates on xAI's massive Colossus supercluster, powered by 200,000 Nvidia GPUs, signifying a substantial investment in computational power. This model aims to directly compete with industry leaders such as OpenAI's GPT-5, Anthropic's Claude, and Google's Gemini, with xAI claiming superior performance on critical benchmarks like Humanity's Last Exam and ARC-AGI-2.
Hong Kong has been actively fostering an environment conducive to AI adoption, with businesses and individuals increasingly leveraging generative AI tools for enhanced productivity and creativity. The city's government has reinforced this commitment, earmarking HK$1 billion for a new artificial intelligence research institute, announced in the February 2025 budget. This strategic investment is part of a broader effort to establish Hong Kong as an "International AI and Data Industry Development Hub," as championed by the Hong Kong Productivity Council.
The tweet's metaphorical "Royal Rundown," stating "From Belgium to the USA – Grok’s second heir to the throne" and "Eyeing the crown while ruling the silver seat," reflects Grok 4's ambition and growing influence in the global AI landscape. Its increasing user base, with significant adoption in regions like India, further illustrates the claim that "No border can contain Grok 4’s royal procession!" The model is available to SuperGrok and Premium+ subscribers and via API, indicating a broad market reach.
As Grok 4 gains traction, its integration into enterprise workflows and its role in automating tasks and providing intelligent insights are becoming more pronounced in Hong Kong. The availability of specialized training courses for Grok AI within the city further solidifies its position as a tool for driving business analytics, content creation, and overall operational efficiency in a highly competitive global market.
