Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup, xAI, said on Saturday that its new version of the Grok-2 chatbot will be available for free to all users of the social media platform X.

"We are excited to release an early preview of Grok-2, a significant step forward from our previous model, Grok-1.5, featuring frontier capabilities in chat, coding, and reasoning," xAI said in its blog.

"As always, Premium and Premium+ users get higher usage limits and will be the first to access any new capabilities in the future," the artificial intelligence startup said.

xAI also highlighted that an early version of Grok-2 had already been tested on the LMSYS leaderboard under the name "sus-column-r," where it has been outperforming leading models such as Claude 3.5 Sonnet and GPT-4-Turbo.
