To read the latest news and topics in your network, you need to check out the For You section on X. It is the first section that you would normally visit to catch up with the latest happenings in your network. Now with Stories on X, whenever you tap on the post in the For You tab, a summary of that post will appear at the top of the page, powered by Grok AI.
This will offer you a preview of the subject matter. As noted by TechCrunch, below the summary, you can read a warning, “Grok can make mistakes, verify its outputs.” Moreover, all the top news in the For You tab will be summarized by Grok AI.
Grok AI is available to premium subscribers, making it another selling point of the premium subscription. You can access Stories on X by purchasing X’s Premium subscription, which starts at $8/month.
If you have Premium or Premium+ subscription plans, you can use Grok by tapping on the button in the middle of the bottom tab. Recently, Grok-1.5V was released to challenge OpenAI’s GPT-4, and it outperformed other leading competitors on key benchmarks.
