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.
