xAI Launches Grok 4.20 Beta: Medical Document Analysis and 4-Agent Parallel Collaboration

xAI Releases Grok 4.20 Beta

Elon Musk's AI company xAI released Grok 4.20 beta on February 17, 2026, introducing two significant capability upgrades: medical document analysis and multi-agent parallel collaboration.

Medical Document AI Analysis

Users can now photograph physical medical documents—X-rays, lab results—or upload digital files directly in the Grok interface to receive an AI-generated second opinion. Importantly, xAI has not published clinical validation data for this feature, and no safety guardrails for high-stakes medical outputs have been disclosed. Users should treat results as informational rather than diagnostic.

4-Agent Parallel Collaboration

The new multi-agent architecture deploys four specialized AI agents to work on the same problem in parallel. A synthesizer then integrates the outputs into a single unified response, targeting higher accuracy on complex coding, analysis, and reasoning tasks.

Availability

Grok 4.20 Beta is accessible on grok.com at no cost within usage limits. Unlimited access is available through SuperGrok at $30/month.
