Unveiling Grok AI in India
Elon Musk’s brainchild, Grok AI, has officially landed in India, and the buzz is real! Available exclusively to Premium+ subscribers through X (previously known as Twitter), this cutting-edge AI technology brings a blend of fun and functionality to the table. But here’s the kicker – it comes at a higher price tag than the renowned ChatGPT Plus, especially for smartphone users.
Flavorful Choices: Fun Mode vs. Regular Mode
Grok AI offers a unique dual experience with its two distinctive modes – the ‘fun mode’ and the ‘regular mode.’ The catch? It’ll cost you a bit more. Let’s dive into the details.
Pricing Breakdown
- Smartphone Subscribers:
- Monthly: Rs 2,299
- Yearly: Rs 22,900
Yes, you read that right. Grok AI hits the wallet harder for smartphone users compared to ChatGPT Plus. But hold on, there’s more to the story.
- Desktop Subscribers:
- Monthly: Rs 1,300
- Yearly: Rs 13,600
Opting for a desktop subscription lightens the load, making Grok AI a more budget-friendly choice. However, it’s worth noting that Grok AI is still in the early access phase, exclusively accessible to top-tier X subscription plans.

The Grok Experience: Fun vs. Regular
Now, let’s explore what sets Grok AI apart from the pack – its generative language model with dual personalities.
Fun Mode: Jovial Responses
True to its name, the fun mode delivers responses with a dash of humor and playfulness. If you’re looking for a light-hearted exchange, Grok’s fun mode is your go-to.
Regular Mode: Standard Responses
On the flip side, the regular mode provides standard responses. It’s your reliable option for straightforward, no-nonsense interactions.
Grok AI’s Secret Sauce: Real-Time Data Access
One standout feature of Grok AI is its ability to tap into real-time data from X. This unique capability allows Grok to craft more accurate responses, especially on the latest trends and developments.
Addressing Concerns: The OpenAI Code Controversy
Back in November, some users raised eyebrows when Grok AI responded with phrases like ‘cannot fulfill the request, as it goes against OpenAI’s use case policy.’ Speculations ran wild about the use of OpenAI’s code. However, Igor Babuschkin, xAI’s chief engineer, swiftly dispelled the concerns. According to him, Grok AI has been trained on a vast dataset, inclusive of GPT-generated data. He assured users that it’s a rare occurrence, emphasizing that no OpenAI code played a role in Grok’s development.
In conclusion, as Grok AI makes its mark in India, it brings a delightful blend of wit and wisdom. While the price may raise a few eyebrows, the Premium+ subscription perks and real-time data access set it apart. Whether you opt for the fun mode’s playful banter or the regular mode’s straightforward approach, Grok AI promises a unique and engaging experience in the ever-evolving world of AI.
