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 top at $300 per month. On the API side, the new flagship Grok 4.5 (released July 8, 2026) runs $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens at a 500k token context window, with the prior Grok 4.3 still available cheaper at $1.25 / $2.50 and Grok 4.1 Fast as low as […]

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 codebase over a long session. The result is a model that lands fourth on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, above every open-weight model and notably above all Gemini models, at a price over 60% lower than Claude Opus 4.8 or GPT-5.5. For coding workloads specifically, independent benchmarks put it on par with GPT-5.5 in Codex […]

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 Q1 then Q2 2026 windows have now slipped. Here is the current reality check. If you feel like the AI news cycle is spinning out of control, you aren’t alone. One minute you are mastering the latest tools, and the next, social media is exploding with rumors about a “Grok 5” that supposedly changes everything. […]

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, with no image generation and no access to the Grok 4.3 flagship. So the real question is not whether Grok is free, but whether the free tier is enough for you. This guide covers exactly what the free plan includes, the message limits and how they reset, which model you actually get, why xAI gives […]

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 new lineup. ChatGPT now runs on GPT-5.6, whose flagship Sol tier started a broad public rollout on July 9, 2026 after two weeks behind a US-government access list, while Grok is powered by Grok 4.5 (released July 8, 2026), xAI’s first model built specifically for coding and agentic work. Both chatbots have evolved fast over […]

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 3.0 as the dominant video APIs going forward, and it is the cheapest of the three. Curious how Grok’s chatbot stacks up against ChatGPT for everyday tasks? See our full Grok vs ChatGPT comparison. What separates a usable Grok Imagine clip from a wasted credit is almost always the prompt. This guide is the working […]

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 most permissive feature shipped by any major AI lab. It allows partial nudity, suggestive scenes, and what xAI describes as “bolder cinematic tones,” but it is not a porn generator. Elon Musk publicly clarified the standard on March 12, 2026: “If it’s allowed in an R-rated movie, it’s allowed in Grok Imagine.” That single line […]

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 it on July 28, 2025 and shipped Grok Imagine 1.0 on February 1, 2026, raising the cap to 10-second clips at 720p with dramatically better sound. Curious how Grok’s chatbot stacks up against ChatGPT for everyday tasks? See our full Grok vs ChatGPT comparison. This guide covers what Grok Imagine actually is, the five workflows […]

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 output cut closer to 60% versus Grok 4.20. It scores 53 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, slotting just above Claude Sonnet 4.6 and well below GPT-5.5, Claude Opus 4.7, and Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview. This Grok 4.3 review covers what actually changed since the April beta, where Grok now stands against the other frontier […]
