Despite Musk and xAI making Grok's AI language model open source, it remained behind X's paywall. Now, non-Premium users will have limited access during the testing phase, with a certain number of queries allowed per day. The move to make Grok freely accessible is seen as a rival to OpenAI's ChatGPT in the market. The free access to Grok is expected to be fully implemented soon.
Key takeaways:
- Elon Musk's company, X, is set to make its AI chatbot, Grok, available to all users, not just premium subscribers.
- The free version of Grok AI is currently being tested in select regions, including New Zealand, under a testing program.
- Non-premium users will have limited access during the testing phase, with a quota on the number of questions they can ask the AI.
- Grok AI was originally introduced in 2023 and was initially only available to X Premium+ subscribers.
