XAI, Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company, may be involved in an escalating lawsuit with OpenAI. But that doesn’t stop it from shipping new products — Friday night, at least.
xAI revealed this evening that it has begun rolling out an upgraded version of its flagship Grok 2 chatbot model to all users on X, the social network formerly known as Twitter. (X, which Musk also owns, often serves as a proving ground for Grok.) The improved Grok is “three times faster” than xAI Claims In a blog post, it offers “improved accuracy, follow instructions, and multilingual capabilities.”
Free users can only ask Grok ten questions every two hours. Subscribers to X’s Premium and Premium+ plans get higher usage limits.
XAI also announced tonight the addition of a “Grok Button” to X, which the company says is designed to help users discover “relevant context, understand real-time events, and dig deeper into trending discussions.”
The startup said it is making several changes to its enterprise API.
XAI says the XAI API contains a pair of new Grok models with better efficiency and multilingual performance. As a result of efficiency gains, pricing has been reduced from $5 per million input tokens (about 750,000 words) or $15 per million output tokens to $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens.
In the coming weeks, xAI’s image generation model, Aurora, will be coming to the API as well, xAI says. Aurora, a largely unfiltered AI, was released on X this month in a Grok chatbot trial.
