Elon Musk’s Grok AI chatbot is now available for free to X users. Several users noticed the change on Friday, which gives non-premium subscribers the opportunity to send as many as 10 messages to Grok every two hours.
xAI released Grok last year as a “humorous AI assistant,” but it was only available to Premium subscribers. In August, xAI added a text-to-image feature to Grok, which was found to be capable of generating some questionable images.
TechCrunch reported last month that Musk’s xAI has started testing a free version of Grok in some regions. Making Grok more widely available could lend a hand it compete with already free chatbots such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and Anthropic’s Claude.
