Elon Musk revealed on X that xAI's Grok chatbot will be accessible to all premium subscribers of the social media platform X, formerly Twitter.

Previous Access: Grok was previously limited to Premium+ subscribers.
Strategic Shift: Musk's decision reflects a strategic shift as more advertisers leave the platform, prompting a focus on reducing reliance on advertising and enhancing subscription plans.
Open-Source Plan: Musk also announced xAI's plan to open-source Grok, a move following a lawsuit against OpenAI for allegedly diverging from its original mission towards a for-profit model.
Implications: This step will allow public access to Grok's code for experimentation, aligning xAI with firms like Meta and France's Mistral, which have embraced open-source AI models.
