In a surprise move, developers at X have released an updated version of their popular AI platform, which has been available as a beta for months. The update brings two new APIs that make it easier for users to access and manipulate the data provided by the platform.
The first new API is Grok 3 mini, which claims to offer competitive performance at a lower cost than its larger counterpart. The platform's reasoning traces are also now publicly available, allowing developers to build more complex models. At 50 cents per output mtok, this makes it an attractive option for those on a budget.
X has promised improved transparency and documentation in the updated platform, including a new overview page that provides more details on how the APIs work. To get started with Grok 3 mini, users can visit its documentation page at https://docs.x.ai/docs/overview.
