- Elon Musk reveals on X that GrokAI, the chatbot from xAI, will soon be accessible to all premium subscribers of the social media platform X.
- Previously limited to Premium+ subscribers, this expansion aims to democratize access to GrokAI’s capabilities.
- GrokAI was recently open-sourced, allowing researchers and developers to enhance its xAI abilities.
Elon Musk, the CEO of xAI, has announced a significant development for users of the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. In a post on X, Musk revealed that GrokAI, the chatbot developed by xAI, will soon be available to all premium subscribers of the platform. This expansion of access marks a departure from the previous exclusivity enjoyed by Premium+ subscribers.
GrokAI, known for its wit and rebellious streak, was initially introduced as an AI assistant capable of providing answers to a wide range of questions. Musk’s announcement signifies a move towards democratizing access to GrokAI’s capabilities, making it available to a broader user base on the X platform.
Earlier this month, xAI made headlines when it open-sourced GrokAI, following a legal dispute with OpenAI. The decision to open-source GrokAI reflects xAI’s commitment to fostering collaboration and innovation within the AI community. By releasing GrokAI’s source code on GitHub, xAI invites researchers and developers to contribute to the enhancement of Grok’s xAI abilities.
In a blog post announcing the open-sourcing of GrokAI, the xAI team stated that they are releasing the base model weights and network architecture of Grok-1, a large language model. This move empowers researchers and developers to work with the model, thereby improving its capabilities and ensuring its relevance in an ever-evolving technological landscape.
GrokAI’s expansion to all premium subscribers of the X platform comes just months after its initial introduction to Premium+ users in December. With its unique blend of humor and real-time knowledge derived from X posts, GrokAI promises to offer users an engaging and informative conversational experience.
As GrokAI becomes accessible to a wider audience, users can anticipate new opportunities for interaction and discovery on the X platform. Whether answering spicy questions or providing insightful commentary, GrokAI’s presence is set to enrich the user experience for all premium subscribers of X.
With Elon Musk at the helm, xAI continues to push the boundaries of AI technology, ushering in a new era of intelligent and interactive communication. As GrokAI’s reach expands, users can look forward to engaging with a chatbot that is as witty as it is informative, making conversations on X more engaging and enjoyable than ever before.
