If you are one of the approximately 1.3 million X Premium subscribers, representing around 0.26% of the platform’s user base, you have access to Grok, X’s AI chatbot similar to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which can be utilized through the X app. However, this access may soon become more widespread.
As reported by The Wall Street Journal, Elon Musk’s AI company xAI is set to launch a standalone consumer app. This app will operate similarly to the ChatGPT app, allowing users to access Grok from their mobile phones. Despite the anticipation, Tech Crunch suggests that the app is unlikely to materialize until xAI secures its next round of funding.
Grok is currently exclusive to X Premium subscribers, and the implications of introducing a standalone app remain unclear. Will users need an X account to utilize it? Will premium subscription be required? Only time will tell. This development coincides with rumors of X experimenting with offering free access to Grok. As is often the case with changes overseen by Musk, we can only wait and observe.
