X is testing a free version of AI chatbot Grok


TechCrunch was able to confirm that X is at least testing access to Grok for free users in New Zealand.

Social network X has so far limited its AI chatbot Grok (built by Elon Musk’s other company xAI) to its premium, paying users. Over the weekend, several app researchers and users posted about a free version of Grok being made available to people in certain regions. By opening up Grok to free users, xAI is possibly looking for a more significant userbase and faster feedback cycle for its products, so that it can better compete with other models on the market like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.
