Grok 4 is now free for all users, but with a catch: Elon Musk says ‘The free tier is…'
Elon Musk owned xAI has expanded its latest AI model – Grok 4 to all users. The tech billionaire shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) to announce the same. 'Grok 4 is now free for all users,' Musk writes in the post. However, the free access comes with a catch. As revealed by Elon Musk, 'The free tier allows a small number of queries per day. Beyond that requires subscription.' Also, the free access is available only for a limited time. xAI has also shared a post making the announcement about free Grok 4 access. Here's what it said: 'Grok 4 is now free for all users worldwide! Simply use Auto mode, and Grok will route complex queries to Grok 4. Prefer control? Choose "Expert" anytime to always use Grok 4. For a limited time, we are rolling out generous usage limits so you can explore Grok 4's full potential.' xAI launches Grok 4 To recall, Grok 4 was launched last month. Grok 4 is designed for those who want a chatbot that can go beyond answering basic questions and instead handle complex topics and ideas. Grok 4 is available as a part of a new premium offering on X. It can be purchased under a $300 per month 'Pro' subscription, which gives users access to its most advanced features. What Elon Musk said about Grok 4 Speaking during the livestream, the tech billionaire said that 'Grok 4 is postgraduate, like PhD level, in everything. Better than PhD — no exceptions'. Acknowledging that while the AI might occasionally miss some common-sense cues, its understanding of academic topics is unmatched. 'Most PhDs would fail where Grok 4 would pass,' Musk claimed. He also shared an X post where he wrote: 'You can cut & paste your entire source code file into the query entry box on and @Grok 4 will fix it for you! This is what everyone @xAI does. Works better than Cursor.' Headphone Zone x KZ EDX Pro | Studio-Level In-Ear Monitors Within Budget

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman admits people have used technology including AI in ‘self-destructive ways': ‘We do not want…'
Image is AI-generated OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently admitted that the company underestimated how attached users could become to specific AI models, calling the decision to abruptly remove older versions a 'mistake.' In a post on microblogging platform X (formerly known as Twitter), Altman wrote: 'If you have been following the GPT-5 rollout, one thing you might be noticing is how much of an attachment some people have to specific AI models.' He further continued 'It feels different and stronger than the kinds of attachment people have had to previous kinds of technology (and so suddenly deprecating old models that users depended on in their workflows was a mistake).' Altman said this attachment has been on OpenAI's radar for over a year, though it has received little mainstream attention. He also warned about the risks when people in 'a mentally fragile state' blur the line between reality and role-play. He further warned that people have used technology including AI in self-destructive ways. He wrote 'if a user is in a mentally fragile state and prone to delusion, we do not want the AI to reinforce that. Most users can keep a clear line between reality and fiction or role-play, but a small percentage cannot.' 'We value user freedom as a core principle, but we also feel responsible in how we introduce new technology with new risks,' he said. In extreme cases — such as encouraging delusion in vulnerable users — the response is clear, but he noted that 'the concerns that worry me most are more subtle.' Sam Altman: People use ChatGPT like a therapist In the post, Sam Altman highlighted that many people already use ChatGPT like a 'therapist or life coach,' which can be positive if it leads to long-term improvement in life satisfaction. 'If people are getting good advice, leveling up toward their own goals, and their life satisfaction is increasing over years, we will be proud of making something genuinely helpful, even if they use and rely on ChatGPT a lot,' he wrote. However, he cautioned against situations where users feel better in the short term but are unknowingly steered away from their long-term well-being, or where they want to use ChatGPT less but feel unable to stop. Altman said he could envision 'a future where a lot of people really trust ChatGPT's advice for their most important decisions,' which he admitted 'makes me uneasy' despite potential benefits. He predicted that billions of people could soon talk to AI in this way, making it crucial to ensure the outcome is a 'big net positive.' He added that OpenAI has better tools than previous tech generations to measure impact, including the ability to gather user feedback and teach models about nuanced issues.
