Elon Musk's xAI launched its AI chatbot, Grok, at the end of 2023 and it has
remained exclusively available to X (formerly Twitter) premium users since.
Now, one year later, Grok is seemingly coming to free X users in select
areas, TechCrunch reports.

The news comes from multiple reports on X by researchers and users who
spotted updates to Grok. According to X user Swak, there are stipulations to
who can access Grok for free and how much they can use it. For starters,
accounts need to be at least seven days old and have a phone number attached
to them. Free users are also reportedly limited by how many things they can
do in two hours. They can ask the Grok-2 model 10 questions and the Grok-2
mini model 20 questions within that time frame. Furthermore, free users only
get three image analyses each day.

The Grok-2 and the Grok-2 mini models are relatively new, releasing late
summer of this year. Grok-2 is xAI's most advanced AI chatbot to date and
pulls real-time information right from X, while the company claims the mini
version "offers a balance between speed and answer quality."
