Elon just went full "free AI for everyone" mode again. Grok 4 is now open to the public, but here's the plot twist — you get daily query limits before hitting the paywall.
Not gonna lie, it's a smart move. Students and builders get to play with enterprise-grade AI without dropping cash upfront, while Musk still has a revenue stream from power users. Basically the freemium playbook everyone's been using, but for AI.
The real question: will this force OpenAI and others to rethink their pricing? Because once users taste free advanced AI, the tolerance for $20/month subscriptions drops fast. Either way, the AI accessibility war just heated up. 🔥
