Free Grok API access

You can call Grok from code without an xAI account. When the catalog marks a Grok model as Free, any TokenReply account can call it through the OpenAI-compatible API, subject to availability and rate limits.

Need more than the free models?

Other Grok models are available as Weekly Featured or paid models; their access and prices are on the models page. Free and paid models use the same base URL and key, so switching only changes the model ID.
