The Grok chatbot will soon be enabled for X Premium users, Elon Musk says

xAI’s Grok chatbot, the Elon Musk-helmed company’s answer to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, will be available to X’s Premium subscribers later this week. Musk has announced Grok’s expanded availability in a tweet, along with an instructional video on how to post a conversation with the chatbot directly on the X website. Grok has been available to X’s Premium+ subscribers since it exited early beta, but that paid tier on the social network costs $16 a month or $168 for the full year when billed annually. Since the Premium tier costs half that much at $8 a month or $84 a year, this rollout makes Grok a bit more accessible.

Musk’s xAI open sourced its Grok-1 model, which powers its chatbot, in mid-March. Just a couple of weeks before that, the executive sued OpenAI and Sam Altman, accusing them of chasing profits and abandoning their non-profit mission. Musk was one of OpenAI’s earliest supporters and funded its operations when it was just starting out. In his lawsuit, he claimed that OpenAI was developing generative artificial intelligence “to maximize profits for Microsoft, rather than for the benefit of humanity.” That, he said, was a “stark betrayal of the Founding Agreement.”

But in a rebuttal of his claims, OpenAI said that there “is no Founding Agreement, or any agreement at all with Musk” to open source its technology. The company said that Musk did not only know that it was going to transition into a for-profit entity, he was also involved in its planning and originally wanted majority equity, control of the initial board of directors and the CEO position.
