Musk's Grok (xAI) model in public beta, giving away $25 per month in free APIs

Starting today, developers can use our newly released APIs to build on the Grok On top of the base model. We will have a public beta program running until the end of 2024, during which each person will receive $25 free API credits per month.

128k contexts, support for function calls, support for customized system prompt words, SDK compatibility with OpenAI and Anthropic, and a multimodal version for processing images going live next week.

We are very pleased to announce the immediate availability of an API that will provide developers with programmatic access to the Grok family of base models. To get started, please visit console.x.ai and sign up to create an account. We look forward to seeing the variety of projects that developers build using Grok.

Grok model

The launch of our public beta previews a new Grok model that is currently in the final stages of development. The model - tentatively named grok-beta - supports 128,000 Token context length, and also supports function calls and system hints. We will be releasing more information about the model shortly.

In addition to the text version of the grok-beta model, we will also be releasing a multimodal version that can receive images. The visual model will be available next week.

Grok free amount

During our public beta, which will last until the end of the year, everyone will get $25 free API credits per month to test the API and start using Grok.

Anyone who has purchased prepaid credits to date will receive the equivalent amount of free credits each month through the end of the year. For example, if you have purchased $50 of prepaid credit, you will receive an additional $25 + $50 of free credit in November and December.
