xAI Could Be on the Verge of Releasing an Independent Grok Application


If you are one of the roughly **1.3 million individuals** enrolled in **X Premium** — representing merely **0.26%** of the platform’s overall user count — you presently have access to **Grok**, an AI chatbot akin to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, available via the X app. Nevertheless, this exclusivity may soon be broadened.

As reported by **The Wall Street Journal**, Elon Musk’s AI venture, **xAI**, is set to introduce a dedicated consumer application. This application is intended to function similarly to the ChatGPT app, enabling users to engage with Grok directly from their mobile devices. However, the launch does not seem to be on the immediate horizon. **TechCrunch** indicates that the app is unlikely to be unveiled until xAI wraps up its next funding round.

At present, Grok is exclusively available to X Premium members, and it remains uncertain how this might evolve with the advent of a standalone application. Will users require an X account to access it? Will exclusivity for premium members persist? These inquiries are still without answers. Interestingly, this development arises as X is reportedly **testing the waters for offering free access to Grok**.

As with many adjustments under Musk’s direction, the specifics remain ambiguous. For now, we will simply need to wait and observe how this progresses.
