Grok-1.5 is expected to be available to early testers on X soon, with several new features. The announcement follows X.ai's decision to open source Grok-1, although without the code necessary for further training. Musk has hinted that more users on X, specifically those on the $8-per-month Premium plan, will gain access to the Grok chatbot, which was previously only available to Premium+ customers.
