Elon Musk announces that the new artificial intelligence model will be accessible to everyone, but with limitations for non-paying users. Elon Musk has announced that the new Grok 3, xAI’s most advanced language model, will be accessible for free for a limited time . However, the company has not specified how long this promotion will last. Leaving some uncertainty about the future availability of the free version.
To try Grok 3 , simply log in to the Grok section on X (formerly Twitter) or via the standalone app, making sure to select Grok 3 in the drop-down menu instead of Grok 2. With the introduction of this new version, users will be able to test two new modes of use: “Think” and “DeepSearch”, advanced functions that exploit the power of the new generation of xAI language models.
However, premium users will still have privileged access, with exclusive features and priority on computational resources.
Exclusive features for paid users
While the free version of Grok 3 is accessible to everyone . X Premium+ users ($40 per month subscription) and SuperGrok subscribers ($30 per month) will have greater benefits and early access to advanced features.
Among the benefits reserved for paying users we find:
“Big Brain” Mode: A mode that lets you tackle complex math, science, and programming problems using more computing power.
Server Access Priority: Free users may experience limitations during peak periods.
Unlimited Image Generation: SuperGrok subscribers will have no limits on creating AI-generated images.
Early access to new features: including Voice Mode, a voice mode that will be available first to premium users.
Grok 3 was officially unveiled in a livestream in which Elon Musk described it as “an order of magnitude more powerful” than the Grok 2. According to xAI, some models of the new family would be able to reason in a human-like way . A feature that can be activated via the “Think” option. Designed to tackle more complex questions in science, mathematics and computer science.
Additionally, Grok 3 introduces DeepSearch, a feature that xAI describes as “the next generation of search engines”. Capable of providing detailed, contextualized summaries for in-depth searches.
The Future of Grok 3: Opportunity or Business Strategy?
It is not yet clear how long xAI will keep the free version of Grok 3, but it is likely that this move is a strategy to attract new users. Who could then be incentivized to upgrade to a premium subscription to avoid limitations.
With the evolution of conversational AI and growing competition from products like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini. XAI is trying to position itself as a powerful and innovative alternative. However, it remains to be seen whether this policy of limited access to the free version will be enough to win over a significant portion of loyal users.https://youtu.be/6qomJuCn6cY?si=xNK6etQEfdLCGQ44
