Asking Grok when I can get Grok 3.5

After Claude 4’s release, the hotly anticipated release will be Grok 3.5, which, according to Musk, was supposed to roll out a couple of weeks ago but apparently now needs refinements. So I asked Grok:

“When will I be able to get Grok 3.5?”

Grok’s response:

“There is insufficient information from reliable sources to confirm an exact release date for Grok 3.5 or when it will be available to you. Various sources indicate that xAI has been preparing Grok 3.5, with mentions of an early beta release initially planned for SuperGrok subscribers in May 2025, but delays have been reported. For example, a post by Elon Musk in May 2025 suggested a delay of ‘another week or so’ due to a ‘full RAG rewrite,’ with a potential rollout to early testers expected in early July 2025. However, no definitive public release date has been confirmed in the available information.

Additionally, some sources, such as a Medium article from May 2025, claimed Grok 3.5 was set to launch in May 2025, but this contradicts other reports of delays, and no evidence confirms a full public release has occurred by May 30, 2025. X posts from April and May 2025 also mention Grok 3.5 as ‘coming soon’ or ‘about to be released,’ but these lack specific dates and are inconclusive without official confirmation from xAI.

Given this, you may be able to access Grok 3.5 in the near future if you are a SuperGrok subscriber, as early beta access was prioritized for them. For broader availability, including free or non-subscriber access, no clear timeline exists in the provided data. To get the most accurate information, check xAI’s official website or their X account (@xAI) for updates on Grok 3.5’s release. If you’re a developer or enterprise user, you could also explore availability through xAI’s API service at https://x.ai/api, though Grok 3.5’s integration there is unconfirmed.”

Maybe Musk got hold of Claude 4 before its official release and decided to delay the release because Grok 3.5 was inferior?
