X users no longer need to pay for X Premium to use the service’s AI chatbot, Grok. Instead, X is allowing users 10 free prompts every 2 hours. 
This was reported by The Verge, citing X users who noticed the update. X first began trialing a free version of Grok in certain countries like New Zealand, TechCrunch reported last month.
Users can also generate 10 images for free every 2 hours. However, they are restricted to analyzing 3 images per day, according to an X post. Anything more requires subscribing.
This gives Grok a freemium model similar to OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude. Previously, Grok was only available to X Premium members for a price starting at $8 a month or $84 a year.
xAI, the AI company behind Grok, just raised $6 billion per an SEC filing, bringing its total funding to $12 billion.
