Elon Musk’s xAI secures deal with US federal agencies

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company, xAI, said Thursday that it had secured a deal with the government that would allow federal agencies to use its chatbot for a nominal fee.

Per the agreement between xAI and the General Services Administration, which handles many of the U.S. government’s vendor contracts, federal agencies will be charged 42 cents in total to use xAI’s chatbot Grok for a year and a half. Agencies that use Grok will receive help from xAI engineers to implement the company’s tools.
