In a strategic move to broaden its reach in the competitive AI arena, Elon Musk’s xAI has announced that Grok 4—its most advanced language model—is now free for all users worldwide for a limited time
Key Features of the Free Access Offer
- No Subscription Required
Users can access Grok 4 without a paid subscription. It is fully available through the Grok app or X platform after signing in - Auto and Expert Modes
In Auto mode, the system intelligently determines which queries to route to Grok 4. Expert mode ensures all interactions go directly to Grok 4—ideal for power users who want consistent access - Generous—but Limited—Usage
Usage is free but capped. Though xAI labels the limits as “generous,” non-subscribers are subject to a daily usage cap—for example, reports suggest around 5–10 prompts per 12 hours - Enhanced Capabilities
Users benefit from improved PDF processing, and access to Grok’s generative media tool, Grok Imagine, which supports free image and video creation during this promotional rollout
Why This Matters
By opening Grok 4 to a wider audience at no cost, xAI is aiming to rapidly grow its user base, gather more engagement data, and compete more fiercely with industry rivals like OpenAI and Google. This aligns with a broader shift toward lowering entry barriers in advanced AI access
