Elon Musk has been making headlines recently for his political activities and rocket launches, but that hasn’t stopped the six-company owner/operator from moving forward with xAI, his artificial intelligence startup.
Today, Musk announced via his social network X (formerly Twitter) that xAI now offers an application programming interface (API) that third-party developers can now use to access and build applications and features powered by xAI’s Grok large language models.
Musk posted a simple message on his X account, “The @xAI API is now live!” around 12 pm ET on Monday, October 21, following up with a reply post that included a link to the xAI API sign-on page.
According to xAI’s documentation, its API give developers access to Grok-2 and Grok-2 mini, xAI’s latest multimodal language models, which also include the capability to generate permissive images with Black Forest Labs’ Flux.1 diffusion model.
