X users no longer need to pay for X Premium to use the AI chatbot, Grok, as the company is now allowing users 10 free prompts every 2 hours. This change was first noticed by users and reported by The Verge. X had previously trialed a free version of Grok in certain countries like New Zealand. Users can also generate 10 images for free every 2 hours, but are limited to analyzing 3 images per day, requiring a subscription for more.
This freemium model is similar to those of OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude. Previously, Grok was only available to X Premium members at a cost starting at $8 a month or $84 a year. The AI company behind Grok, xAI, recently raised $6 billion, bringing its total funding to $12 billion.
