X makes Grok chatbot available to premium subscribers

Social network X is rolling out access to xAI’s Grok chatbot to Premium tier subscribers. This new feature allows these subscribers to interact with the chatbot in select regions.

Only Premium and Premium+ users can interact with the xAI's Grok chatbot and it is available in select regions.

For Social network X, the Premium+ tier costs $16 per month or $168 per year, while the Premium tier costs $8 per month.

Users can chat with Grok chatbot in two modes: Regular mode and Fun mode. The chatbot also shows labels indicating that it may return inaccurate answers, which is common for Large Language Model (LLM) products.

Elon Musk likely wants more people to use Grok chatbot to rival other products such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, or Anthropic’s Claude. Over the last few months, he has been openly critical of OpenAI’s operations and even sued the company, indicating his interest in making Grok a competitive product in the chatbot market.
