Masahble :Musk introduced Grok AI in November of the previous year as a substitute for well-known chatbots available in the market.

Elon Musk has officially announced that Grok, the AI chatbot developed by his company, will soon be accessible to all X premium users. This decision comes at a time when tensions between Musk and his previous venture, OpenAI, are escalating.

In a recent development, Musk has taken legal action against OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, accusing them of deviating from the initial objective of creating AI for the betterment of mankind.

OpenAI and its primary product, ChatGPT, have come under scrutiny from Musk following the lawsuit, with him even referring to the San Francisco company as "closed AI". Musk's xAI has recently followed suit by releasing Grok AI as open source under the Apache 2.0 license, joining Meta and Mistral.

Musk introduced Grok AI in November of the previous year as a substitute for well-known chatbots available in the market, such as ChatGPT and Gemini (previously known as Bard). This chatbot was designed based on Douglas Adams' science fiction novel, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and was promoted as a witty and slightly rebellious question-answering assistant.

The open-source developer platform Github now offers the AI chatbot. In the previous year, xAI expanded Grok to India and 46 additional countries, such as Australia, Canada, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Singapore. The microblogging platform has already introduced access to its Grok AI (beta) for Premium+ subscribers in the US.

TechCrunch's report highlights that Musk's move to grant Grok access to all premium subscribers might be a strategic effort by the billionaire to enhance X's subscriber base amidst concerns of decreasing usage.

Sensor Tower's data, cited in the report, reveals that X's usage in the US witnessed an 18% decline year-on-year in February, and it has further dropped by 23% since Musk assumed control of the company
