Elon Musk's Grok AI Chatbot Now Free for All X Users

The chatbot, developed by Musk's xAI, offers limited free access to compete with rivals like ChatGPT and Google Gemini.

Grok AI, previously exclusive to X Premium subscribers, is now accessible for free to all users with certain restrictions.
Free-tier users can send up to 10 messages every two hours and analyze three images daily, with premium subscriptions offering expanded capabilities.
Grok includes a text-to-image generation feature, recently enhanced with the new Aurora model, which excels in photorealistic imagery but has limited content moderation.
The move is seen as an effort to compete with free alternatives like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Anthropic's Claude in the crowded AI chatbot space.
xAI, valued at $50 billion and backed by a $6 billion funding round, plans further developments, including a potential standalone app for Grok.
