xAI 将在 X 上推出更智能的 Grok 聊天机器人
由埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 领导的人工智能初创公司 xAI 宣布对其旗舰聊天机器人 Grok 和其他人工智能产品进行重大更新，这表明该公司致力于扩大其在人工智能行业的影响力。
12 月 13 日前夕，该公司透露，已开始向 X 上的用户推出 Grok 2 聊天机器人模型的升级版。X 是一个社交媒体平台，以前称为 Twitter，马斯克也拥有该平台。
根据 TechCrunch 的一份报告，增强版 Grok 比其前身“快三倍”，并拥有“更高的准确性、遵循指令和多语言功能”。

Grok leverages the X platform to deliver real-time insights by integrating web search and citations. These features allow the AI model to draw from posts on X and broader internet sources, providing timely and context-rich responses to user queries.
The chatbot will also reportedly integrate a new “Grok button” on X, which aims to help users explore trending discussions, gain deeper insights into current events, and find relevant context.
Grok AI announces API changes
In addition to the consumer-facing updates, xAI announced major changes to its enterprise API. Two new Grok models have been introduced, featuring improved efficiency and enhanced multilingual capabilities.
As a result, the company has reduced pricing for API usage, slashing input token costs from $5 to $2 per million tokens and output token costs from $15 to $10 per million tokens. Each token corresponds to approximately four characters of text.
The upgraded API will also soon include xAI’s image generation model, Aurora. Aurora debuted on X this month as part of the Grok chatbot experience. It offers users a largely unfiltered image-generation capability, further expanding xAI’s creative tools.
xAI launched its API back in August, fulfilling a promise to make its generative AI capabilities available to developers. Currently, the API is in a relatively basic stage, featuring a single model, “grok-beta.”
The initial offering is priced at $5 per million input tokens, equivalent to approximately 750,000 words, and $15 per million output tokens. Tokens represent units of raw data, such as the syllables “fan,” “tas,” and “tic” in the word “fantastic.”
On December 6, X announced that users no longer need to subscribe to X Premium to access Grok. Instead, the platform introduced a freemium model, granting all users ten free chatbot prompts every two hours.
Asked @Grok to draw a picture of @GaryGensler. Very flattering, I think!

Freemium X users can also generate up to ten images in the same period, though they are limited to analyzing three images per day unless they subscribe. This move marks a shift from Grok’s earlier availability, which was restricted to X Premium subscribers paying $8 per month or $84 annually.
Integration with X and the broader AI Ecosystem
Grok’s updates outline its developer’s xAI strategy of leveraging the X platform’s social media ecosystem to enhance its AI capabilities.
The AI model draws its info from real-time data and user-generated content on X to differentiate itself from traditional chatbots that rely solely on pre-trained datasets. This integration positions Grok as a dynamic tool for navigating and understanding live events, trending topics, and nuanced discussions.
Moreover, Aurora complements Grok by enabling users to create visual content. Its upcoming inclusion in the API echoes xAI’s commitment to offering a comprehensive suite of AI tools that cater to diverse user needs, from textual analysis to creative design.
xAI’s recent updates place it in direct competition with established players like OpenAI and Anthropic. The introduction of multilingual capabilities and efficiency gains could help position Grok as a viable alternative to competitors like ChatGPT and Claude. The pricing adjustments for API usage reflect xAI’s commitment to attracting enterprise customers who seek cost-effective solutions.
