Elon Musk's AI company, xAI, has launched an API for its Grok 3 model, despite ongoing legal issues with OpenAI. Grok 3, which rivals models like OpenAI's GPT-4o, offers image analysis and question-answering capabilities. The API features two versions: Grok 3 and Grok 3 Mini, with varying pricing structures. While Grok 3 is priced competitively, its context window is reportedly smaller than advertised. Musk aims to make Grok politically neutral, a shift from its previous tendencies. The release highlights xAI's commitment to advancing its AI technologies amidst controversy.
