Elon Musk’s xAI has announced that its generative AI-based chatbot Grok AI will now be accessible in India, as well as 46 other countries such as Pakistan, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and others. Notably, Musk’s X (previously Twitter) revealed last week in an update that access to Grok is now available to the company’s Premium+ members in the United States.
Access to Grok in India, like the rest of the globe, will be limited to X Premium+ members in the nation, which means users would have to pay $1,300 monthly or $13,600 annually.
xAI said in a November announcement post that Grok is meant to “answer questions with a bit of wit” and has a “rebellious streak.” Grok, unlike other chatbots on the market, will have access to real-time information owing to data from X, according to the business. Furthermore, xAI said that Grok would answer inquiries that are now being refused by big AI chatbots.
Grok is built on Grok-0, xAI’s proprietary large language model (LLM). Grok-0, which is based on the GPT 3.5 language model (free version), is trained with 33 billion parameters and can surpass ChatGPT.

Soon after Grok was made available to users in the United States, the chatbot became embroiled in one big scandal after another. On one occasion, the chatbot was requested to mock Elon Musk, and Grok delivered on its promise of having a “rebellious streak.” Musk’s chatbot referred to him as a ‘delicate flower’ and questioned several of Musk’s behaviors, from his preoccupation with ‘x’ to the quick alterations made to the former Twitter following the billionaire’s purchase last year.
Some users have subsequently complained that Grok does not share its creator’s political beliefs and that it answers many political inquiries in the same tone as other chatbots. Musk said that his business was “taking immediate action to shift Grok closer to politically neutral” in response to a post concerning Grok’s political leanings.
