Several X s including app researchers and AI enthusiasts posted on the platform that the social media company is testing a free version of the chatbot, allowing even those who have not purchased the X subscription to access it. Notably, Grok was released in November 2023, and so far, it has only been limited to the platform's subscribers.

In a report, TechCrunch confirmed that X is testing the free tier of Grok in New Zealand, however, other regions might also have access to the chatbot. Gadgets 360 staff were not able to the existence of the test. The AI bot also appears to not be available in India. Apart from the free version, Grok is also said to be getting a new logo.
