Over the weekend, Elon Musk revealed that his long-awaited startup xAI had engineered its own chatbot, Grok. A competitor to OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT, Grok is currently in the beta phase and is being tested with a select group of sample users.<\/p>\n
While the bot isn\u2019t available to the public just yet, Musk shared some additional information on Grok.<\/p>\n
For starters, once it exits beta, Grok will be available exclusively to X Premium+ subscribers. The most expensive of X\u2019s subscription tiers, Premium+ is a step up from the regular Premium plan and two steps up from the Basic, at $16 USD a month or $168 USD per year.<\/p>\n
Musk also lauds the AI bot as having access to real-time information, something ChatGPT is being updated with currently but has notably lacked in the past.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrok has real-time access to info via the X platform, which is a massive advantage over other models,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n
In classic Musk style, users can also expect Grok\u2019s answers to be infused with the X owner\u2019s irony-laden humor.<\/p>\n
Stay tuned for more updates on the forthcoming launch of Grok to the public.<\/p>\n
