API Public Beta
The xAI API is now publicly available, giving developers programmatic access to the company's Grok series of foundational models. The launch includes a preview of a new Grok model that is in the final stages of development. It has a context length of 128,000 tokens and supports function calling and system prompts. A new vision model will be available next week. Users signing up to the public beta program will receive $25 of free API credits per month.
Tesla did something similar. They are opening their API up to allow 3rd party developers to create apps for Tesla owners. Of course, this requires approval from Tesla.
