X gains a faster Grok model and a new 'Grok button' | TechCrunch

Dec 14, 2024 - techcrunch.com
XAI, Elon Musk's AI company, is advancing its product offerings despite a legal dispute with OpenAI. The company has rolled out an upgraded version of its Grok 2 chatbot model on X, the social network formerly known as Twitter. The new Grok is reportedly three times faster and boasts improved accuracy, instruction-following, and multilingual capabilities. Free users are limited to ten questions every two hours, while Premium and Premium+ subscribers enjoy higher usage limits. Additionally, XAI has introduced a "Grok button" on X to help users access relevant context and engage with trending discussions.

XAI is also updating its enterprise API with new Grok models that offer better efficiency and multilingual performance, leading to reduced pricing for input and output tokens. The API will soon include the Aurora image generation model, which was recently integrated into the Grok chatbot experience on X. Aurora is described as a largely unfiltered image AI, and its inclusion in the API is expected in the coming weeks.
