Quick answer. Grok 4.1 has a weighted score of 78, task 88 and Perspective Score +10. Privacy is 66. GDPR, HIPAA and SOC 2 are false. It is not self-hostable. Choose it for real-time news and X-data research when live access matters more than regulated-data compliance flags.
Grok 4.1 is the xAI frontier row in the published Best AI Match dataset, ranked 19 of 21 with a weighted score of 78. This profile decides whether live news and social research jobs justify a model whose compliance flags are all false. It is not a claim that Grok is the safest customer-data path, and it does not invent a private news accuracy bench. Task performance is 88. Speed is 84. Privacy is 66 and Truth Score is 79. Cost efficiency is 74 at $3 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens. Context is a 128,000-token window, scored 78. The model is not self-hostable and jurisdiction is the United States. GDPR, HIPAA and SOC 2 are marked false. Perspective Score is plus 10 — the only positive Wave 2 perspective mark among these five profiles — and it stays outside the weighted score. Best-fit jobs in the dataset are real-time news and X data, social media analysis and research with live web access. Use those jobs as the gate. Regulated customer records are a different brief.
Live access is the job, not the compliance story
Best-fit jobs are real-time news and X data, social media analysis and research with live web access. Task 88 supports that research framing. Privacy 66 and false GDPR, HIPAA and SOC 2 flags block regulated customer-data use on this record. For research workflows that still need sources, pair this profile with best AI for research and unsourced citations.

Perspective Score is a disclosure
Perspective Score is +10 on the −50 to +50 scale and is excluded from the weighted score. Read what the mark means on Perspective Score and most neutral AI. A lean is not permission to skip source checks.
