Is the xAI API compatible with OpenAI clients?

Yes. xAI offers an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so most OpenAI client libraries work by changing the base URL and key.

Can I use the fast Grok variant through the API?

Not for the current model. xAI offers the fast variant of its newest Grok only inside Cursor and Grok Build; on the public API you use the standard model.

xAI (Grok API) pricing

Untuk tim teknis

xAI (Grok API) is priced per use rather than per month; the rate for each option is in the table below. Checked 22 Sep 2026 against the official pricing page.

Grok 4.7 dengan $2/$6 per 1 juta token dan konteks 500K — pekerjaan berbasis pengetahuan kelas terdepan dengan harga di bawah model unggulan Claude dan GPT. Bukan opsi volume termurah; xAI melaporkan 38% pada Terminal-Bench 4.0, dan model ini menghabiskan banyak token penalaran, sehingga biaya per tugas melebihi tarif yang tertera.

Our take

Score 3.5 out of 5How we score

The xAI API gives you Grok models with a large context window at prices below the Claude and GPT flagships. It is a solid option for knowledge work over long documents; it is not the cheapest API per token.
