This feature is accessible via the “Create your version with Grok” button on user profiles.While all users can now access the Grok-2 chatbot, Premium and Premium+ subscribers will still enjoy extended features, including higher usage limits and first access to future upgrades.
With this free rollout, xAI is positioning itself as a leader in AI technology, competing with other AI assistants like Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and Anthropic’s Claude. The company has been testing the updated model over recent weeks and plans to continue expanding its user base on Musk’s X platform.
The free access to the Grok-2 AI chatbot marks a significant step in making AI more accessible and interactive for users on the X platform. As xAI continues to innovate and expand its features, users can expect a more enhanced and interactive experience.
