AI BriefingAPI Public Beta
Key point
xAI has launched a public beta of its API for using Grok models and is providing $25 in free credits every month.
Details
xAI has immediately opened up an API that allows developers to programmatically use the Grok foundation model. During the public beta period, which runs until the end of 2024, all users will receive $25 in free API credits every month. Users who have already purchased prepaid credits will receive additional free credits each month, matching their purchase amount, through the end of the year.
This beta program offers an early look at grok-beta, a new model in the final stages of development. This model supports the following features:
- A context length of 128,000 tokens
- Function calling and system prompts
- A multi-modal version with image recognition capabilities, launching next week
The API is fully compatible with the REST APIs of OpenAI and Anthropic, making migration extremely simple. If you're already using the OpenAI Python SDK, you can start using Grok immediately just by changing the base_url to https://api.x.ai/v1 and using your xAI API key.
