  • You can access it through the Grok website or app
  • Super Grok is still available on subscription bases

Elon Musk has made Grok 3, xAI’s latest and most advanced artificial intelligence model, available for free to all users. However the free availability is just for a limited time. Announcing the move on X (formerly Twitter), xAI posted "The world’s smartest AI, Grok 3, now available for free (until our servers melt)." This surprise decision of free access comes just a day after the official launch of Grok 3, a model Musk and the xAI team claim is 10 times more capable than its predecessor, Grok 2.

Introducing the Grok 3, Musk said that this new AI model is designed to perform advanced reasoning, conduct in-depth research, and handle creative tasks. “The mission of xAI and Grok is to understand the universe, the nature of the universe so we can figure out what is going on, where the aliens are,” said Musk. While the Grok 3 which is in beta is available for free for a limited time, users will need to pay for the subscription tier called Super Grok. The Super Grok offers early users access to xAI’s latest AI developments and features. It is available to access through both the Grok app and website– grok.com.

What is Grok 3?

Grok 3 is xAI’s latest artificial intelligence model. It is said to be developed to provide a deeper understanding of complex topics through its advanced reasoning and problem-solving capabilities.

The Grok AI is designed to function in three primary modes:

Think – This mode allows the AI to process and analyze complex problems, such as solving physics equations or calculating planetary trajectories.

Big Brain – This mode is designed to focus on creativity, enabling Grok 3 to generate unique ideas, such as designing new games by combining existing ones.

DeepSearch – This mode conducts in-depth research and critical analysis to provide detailed insights into complex subjects, including math, science, and coding.

xAI notes that unlike its predecessors Grok 2, the newly launched Grok 3 has been trained on a significantly larger dataset and runs on an upgraded infrastructure, making it more efficient and capable of handling intricate tasks for users.
