Elon Musk just contributed a little bit more to the AI zeitgeist.
Musk’s AI startup xAI, which supplies the Grok chatbot that is integrated into X (formerly Twitter), officially started offering an API this week. According to TechCrunch, Grok’s services can be yours for the low, low price of $5 per million input tokens or $15 per million output tokens.
It’s a little bit murky what anyone who pays for the API is actually getting right now. TechCrunch said the only model available for purchase right now is labeled “grok-beta,” which obviously doesn’t make it clear if it’s the latest model, Grok-2, or not. There may also be models for analyzing images and text, but per TechCrunch, those aren’t live yet.
Grok started infecting X late last year, eventually becoming a fully integrated chatbot that is accessible at all times to X Premium users via a tab on the bottom of the screen. Its gimmick is that it’s not as restrained (or “woke,” as some might say) as other chatbots, which has, of course, resulted in lots of deeply troubling outputs from Grok over the last year.
