Users of X no longer need to pay for X Premium to access the AI chatbot, Grok. X now offers 10 free prompts every 2 hours, as reported by The Verge. The company first tested a free version of Grok in certain countries like New Zealand, according to TechCrunch. Users can also generate 10 images every 2 hours for free, but analyzing more than 3 images per day will require a subscription. This move gives Grok a freemium model, similar to ChatGPT and Claude. Previously, Grok was only available to X Premium members for a price starting at $8 per month or $84 per year. Additionally, xAI, the AI company behind Grok, recently raised $6 billion, totaling its funding to $12 billion.
