Apologies for possibly stupid question but where can you use it right now? Just on 'direct chat' on https://lmarena.ai/ or is there a better alternative? Or do you have early access?

You need an X Premium Plus subscription on Twitter.

I was using it on grok.com, logged in via a Twitter account. But I notice it just got added to the Grok tab on Twitter a moment ago.
Also, the "Deep Search" button was not available when it first went live, so I'm retesting everything again with this feature enabled, which I assume is a reasoning version of the same model.

One neat feature is you can use Grok on any tweet, its helped me find context to obscure tweets many times over, very quickly.
Hopefully, you’ll be able to avoid the whole X Premium Plus thing in the near future with OpenRouter. It’ll still use xAI backend but via your OpenRouter API key. Then you can use it with any web or mobile app that supports OpenRouter.
Personally, I wouldn’t use it though. What’s going on with Elon Musk right now is completely insane. I hope to see OpenAI’s GPT-4.5 & GPT-5 releases to catch up soon, if nothing else. Announced for this year.
