Elon Musk's artificial intelligence chatbot Grok is now available on X for free users. Some users noticed the change on Friday, which allows non-premium users to send up to 10 tips to Grok every two hours.
xAI launched its "humorous AI assistant" Grok last year, but it was only available to advanced users. In August of this year, xAI added text-to-image generation capabilities to Grok, and found that it generated some problematic images.
TechCrunch reported last month that Musk's xAI began testing a free version of Grok in some regions. Getting more people using Grok could help it compete with already free chatbots like OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and Anthropic's Claude.
According to the Wall Street Journal, xAI, which raised $6 billion in its latest round of funding, is also considering launching a standalone app for Grok, which ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude already have.
