The X Subscription replaces separate Grok, Cursor and X Premium plans with five tiers from Free to Ultra. Paid plans start at $8 a month and top out at $200.
SpaceX Super Intelligence has merged Grok, Cursor and X Premium into The X Subscription, with five tiers from Free to Ultra. Paid plans share one usage pool across Cursor and Grok products, with at least twice the coding usage on Grok models as the equivalent Cursor plan.
The catch: third-party models inside Cursor now bill at API prices on the new plans. Existing subscribers can keep their old plan or switch.
Key Capabilities:

• Five tiers: Free, then Plus at $8, Premium at $30, Super at $100 and Ultra at $200 a month.
• Grok Bot included: Premium, Super and Ultra plans also include Grok Bot.
• Gradual rollout: Current subscribers can switch and link their Grok, Cursor and X accounts.

SpaceXAI's Grok 4.7, launched in September for coding and knowledge work, is now available through Microsoft Foundry, giving enterprise Azure customers direct access alongside its existing API and Cursor availability.
SpaceXAI's Grok 4.7 launched September 21 at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens, scoring 46.3% on CursorBench 4.0 versus 40.4% for Grok 4.6. Microsoft Foundry access, confirmed October 7, completes a rollout pattern SpaceXAI has followed with past Grok releases: API and partner-tool access first, broader cloud-platform availability within weeks.
This gives Azure-based enterprises a way to run Grok without a direct SpaceXAI account, similar to how GLM-5.3 reached Amazon Bedrock earlier this week.
Key Capabilities:

• New today: Grok 4.7 access through Microsoft Foundry for Azure enterprise customers.
• Original pricing: $2 per million input tokens, $6 per million output tokens, unchanged from launch.
• Pattern: Follows Grok 4.6's earlier rollout to Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Foundry.

After OpenAI unveiled its "dots" agent, people noticed dot.com belongs to Elon Musk's xAI and redirects to the Grok Bot download page.
OpenAI announced dots on September 29. Soon after, users found that dot.com, transferred to xAI in July according to WHOIS records, sends visitors to Grok Bot instead of anything OpenAI-related. xAI has not commented, and no evidence confirms it knew OpenAI's product name in advance.
The domain could simply catch typos of "bot.com," which xAI does not own either, feeding the prank theory. The closer match, dots.com, belongs to a defunct clothing retailer and is unrelated to either company.
Key Capabilities:

• Confirmed fact: dot.com redirects to Grok Bot's download page as of September 29.
• Confirmed fact: WHOIS records show the domain transferred to xAI in July, two months before OpenAI's launch.
• Unconfirmed: Whether the timing was intentional; neither company has said so.

SpaceXAI opened a public beta of Team Bots, letting a company configure one AI agent per role that multiple employees can use together in Slack.
SpaceXAI launched Team Bots on September 28, now in public beta for Teams and Enterprise plans. A Team Bot draws on shared files, instructions, and connected tools like Salesforce or GitHub, while each employee's individual chats with it stay private.
SpaceXAI says its own sales bots post morning briefings and its engineering bot triages bugs and delegates fixes. One report says an internal engineering bot helped a five-person team ship over 100 pull requests a day, an unverified company claim.
Key Capabilities:

• Shared skills, private chats: The team shares a bot's knowledge, but each person's conversations stay separate.
• Slack handle: Each Team Bot gets its own handle so a whole channel can work with it.
• Approval gates: Sensitive actions require sign-off, with some controls limited to Enterprise plans.
