xAI now sells Grok across six consumer tiers plus a separate developer API, and the price spread between them is huge. The free tier costs $0, X Premium is $8 per month, SuperGrok Lite is $10 per month, SuperGrok is $30 per month, X Premium+ is $40 per month, and SuperGrok Heavy sits at the […]

On July 8, 2026, xAI released Grok 4.5, its first model built specifically for coding and agentic work. This is not a general capability upgrade. It is a deliberate pivot toward developers, with training done using real Cursor developer session data and benchmarks designed to measure what an AI can actually do inside a real […]

Update, July 10, 2026: The Grok 5 picture sharpened over the summer. xAI shipped Grok Voice (June 4), pushed Grok Imagine Video 1.5 to the top of the image-to-video leaderboard, and then released the 1.5-trillion-parameter V9 coding model as Grok 4.5 on July 8, 2026. None of that is Grok 5 itself, and the original […]

Yes, Grok AI is free. You can use it at grok.com or inside X with no credit card and no subscription, and xAI has kept a real free tier rather than a short trial. The catch is the ceiling. The free plan caps you at roughly 10 prompts every 2 hours on a lighter model, […]

Update, July 10, 2026: Both chatbots just moved to new flagship models. ChatGPT now runs GPT-5.6 (the Sol, Terra, and Luna tiers), which began its broad public rollout on July 9, 2026, and Grok is powered by Grok 4.5, xAI’s coding-focused release from July 8, 2026. The pricing, benchmarks, and comparison tables below reflect the […]

Grok Imagine generated 1.245 billion videos in the 30 days leading up to its 1.0 release in early February 2026. That release bumped the model to 720p, 10-second clips, and dramatically better native audio. With OpenAI’s Sora 2 winding down by September 24, 2026, Grok Imagine now sits next to Google Veo 3.1 and Kling […]

Grok spicy mode is xAI’s opt-in adult-content tier inside the Grok Imagine image and video generator. Searched just as often as “grok imagine spicy mode” or “grok ai spicy mode,” it is the same feature: a single toggle that opens up an R-rated visual envelope. Since launching on August 4, 2025, it has been the […]

Grok Imagine is the fastest AI video generator most people can actually use right now. It takes a text prompt, a voice command, or a still photo and turns it into a short video with synchronized audio in roughly 17 seconds. That’s faster than Sora 2 or Veo 3.1 by a wide margin. xAI launched […]

xAI just rolled Grok 4.3 out to the full API on April 30, 2026, two weeks after a $300/month beta locked behind SuperGrok Heavy. The bigger story is the price reset. Grok 4.3 now runs at $1.25 per million input tokens and $2.50 per million output tokens, an input cut of roughly 40% and an […]

Grok is a generative AI chatbot developed by xAI, Elon Musk‘s AI research company. Since its launch in November 2023, Grok has evolved rapidly — and in 2026, it’s one of the most powerful AI models available. Grok 4.1 topped the LMArena Text Arena leaderboard with an Elo rating of 1483, outperforming Claude Sonnet 4.5 […]
