X (formerly Twitter) is testing a free tier of Grok, its humorous AI search assistant, for non-paying users. Grok is available to Premium and Premimum+ subscribers in the social media app. However, several users in New Zealand report receiving notifications to \u201cTry Grok for free.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like other AI chatbots (ChatGPT<\/a>, Copilot<\/a>, Gemini<\/a>, etc.), Grok\u2019s free tier has usage limits. An X user<\/a> shared that Grok\u2019s free tier allows ten \u201cGrok 2\u201d and 20 \u201cGrok 2 mini\u201d questions every two hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That totals 120 and 240 daily questions for Grok 2 and Grok 2 mini, respectively. Additionally, non-paying Grok users are limited to three image analyses daily. It\u2019s currently unclear if the image analysis limit applies to Grok 2, Grok 2 mini, or both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As gathered from several non-official sources, Grok\u2019s free tier has several eligibility requirements. First, only X accounts older than seven days can use the chatbot for free. Also, eligible users must have a valid phone number linked to their accounts. We expect X to provide more eligibility and usage information when it extends the free tier to more countries\/regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grok is one of the few AI chatbots that are only available to paid subscribers. Opening Premium features to non-paying X users will likely increase Grok\u2019s adoption and market share in the AI assistant ecosystem. Grok is accessible via x.com and the X app for iOS and Android. Maybe someday, the AI assistant will be available to people outside the platform without an X account<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In unrelated news, Grok will reportedly be getting a logo refresh. The current logo is a forward slash that originates from the X logo. The screenshot above shows a new logo on the X website’s navigation bar, which some users say resembles a pig\u2019s snout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
