XAI could be Elon Musk’s AI company mixed up In the growing litigation with OpenAI. But that doesn’t stop new products from shipping — on Friday night, no less.
This evening, xAI announced that it has started rolling out an upgraded version of its flagship Grok 2 chatbot model for all users on X, the social network formerly known as Twitter. (X, also owned by Musk, often serves as a kind of testing ground for Grok.) The upgraded Grok is “three times faster,” xAI claims in a blog post and offers “improved accuracy, instruction adherence, and multilingual capabilities.”
Free users can only ask Grok ten questions every two hours. Subscribers of 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 dive deeper into trending discussions.”
And the startup said it made a number of changes to it enterprise API.
XAI’s API has a pair of new Grok models with better efficiency and multilingual performance, xAI says. As a result of increased efficiency, the price has been reduced from $5 per million input tokens (~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 creation model, AuroraIt’s coming to the API, too, says xAI. Aurora, a largely unfiltered image AI, was released on X this month in the Grok chatbot experience.
