Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
Grok 4 supports multimodal inputs. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
xAI
Grok 4, released by xAI on July 10, 2025, is a large language model featuring first-principles reasoning and comprehensive multimodal support. It features a 260K token context window and demonstrated strong performance on advanced reasoning and coding benchmarks. Grok 4 targets complex multi-step reasoning tasks, scientific analysis, and agentic workflows via the xAI API.
Alibaba / Qwen
Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct is the flagship of Alibaba's Qwen2.5 series, a 72-billion-parameter open-weight model released in September 2024 after training on 18 trillion tokens spanning code, mathematics, and multilingual text. It offers strong generalist performance across coding, instruction-following, and structured reasoning while remaining fully open-weight under Apache 2.0 — a combination that made it a widely referenced model in open-source evaluations and community benchmarking. The 128K context window and built-in structured output support made it a common choice for document analysis and multi-step agentic pipeline development.
