xAI announced today a shocking global news: the Grok4 AI model will be permanently free for all users worldwide. This decision marks an important step for xAI in the field of artificial intelligence, providing global users with an advanced AI tool that can be used without any cost.
The free availability of Grok4 is not a trial or a time-limited offer, but a true permanent free access. xAI provides users with two usage modes: Auto mode and Expert mode. In Auto mode, the system automatically determines whether to use Grok4 for advanced reasoning based on the complexity of the user's question. If users want more control, they can switch to Expert mode at any time, allowing each query to be processed through Grok4.
In addition, xAI specifically mentioned that generous usage limits will be provided within a limited time, allowing users to fully explore the potential of Grok4. This move will undoubtedly greatly promote the popularization and application of AI technology, enabling more users to experience the charm of advanced artificial intelligence.
After this announcement, it immediately attracted widespread attention and discussion. Some netizens said that the free availability of Grok4 will make it dominate globally. At the same time, some people expressed their anticipation for the release of Grok5, asking whether it will be launched by the end of the year. However, some people are concerned about the server's capacity, worried that speed issues may occur after the free availability.
Notably, this announcement came shortly after OpenAI released GPT-5, which received a rather indifferent response. Some opinions suggest that this is xAI taking advantage of GPT-5's poor performance to try to take the lead in the AI field. Regardless of the situation, the timing of this strategy shows xAI's sharpness and determination.
The permanent free use of Grok4 not only provides users with a powerful AI tool, but also injects new vitality into the development and innovation of AI technology. With the global exploration and application of Grok4, the future development of the AI field will become more diverse and rich.
