Elon Musk's xAI launched its ai chatbot, Grok, in late 2023 and has since remained available exclusively to premium x (formerly twitter) users. Now, a year later, Grok is apparently coming free to x users in select areas. x-is-testing-a-free-version-of-ai-chatbot-grok/” data-ylk=”slk:TechCrunch reports;elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:2;pos:1;itc:0;sec:content-canvas”>TechCrunch information.

To start, accounts must be at least seven days old and have a phone number attached. Free users are also reportedly limited by the number of things they can do in two hours. They can ask the Grok-2 model 10 questions and the Grok-2 mini model 20 questions within that time period. Additionally, free users only get three image analyzes each day.

Grok-2 is xAI's most advanced ai chatbot to date and pulls real-time information directly from x, while the company claims the mini version “offers a balance between speed and response quality.”
