Grok

xAI's frontier AI assistant with multi-agent architecture and real-time X/Twitter integration

Grok is xAI's AI assistant, now backed by SpaceX following the February 2026 acquisition. The latest Grok 4.20 Beta 2 uses a multi-agent architecture where four specialised components work together for improved instruction-following and reduced hallucinations. Grok offers real-time access to X/Twitter data, image generation via Grok Imagine (top-ranked on Artificial Analysis), and extremely competitive API pricing starting at $0.20/MTok. Context window extends to 2M tokens. Free tier available through X with limited requests.
