xAI has launched the immediate availability of their [API](https://x.ai/blog?ref=ai-360.online), giving developers programmatic access to their Grok series of foundation models, with a public beta programme offering $25 of free API credits monthly through the end of 2024\. And also an accompanying image which some may find funny.

The public beta launches with a preview of a new Grok model, released under the provisional name grok-beta. The model features a context length of 128,000 tokens and supports function calling and system prompts, with more information about the model to be released shortly.

The release includes two versions of the model:

- The text-only version (grok-beta) available immediately
- A multi-modal version capable of processing images, scheduled for release next week

The REST API is fully compatible with those offered by OpenAI and Anthropic, simplifying migration.
