xAI launched Grok Business and Grok Enterprise to provide organizations with secure, private access to its AI models without using their data for training. The new tiers feature high rate limits, Google Drive integration, and administrative tools like single sign-on and directory sync for larger teams.
Here’s a breakdown of what the Business & Enterprise plans offer:
-
Grok promises to never train its models on your data. “Your data stays yours: no training on it, ever.”
-
Access to xAI’s strongest Grok models — Grok 3, Grok 4, and Grok 4 Heavy — with high rate limits, as opposed to its stupid models that it makes public.
-
Shared team workspace with conversations and project collaboration.
-
Grok respects your existing Google Drive permissions. If a file isn’t shared with you in Drive, you won’t see it in Grok.
-
Every answer includes citations linking directly to source documents, with quote previews and highlighted relevant sections.
-
Agentic search across large internal document collections, such as a data room for analyzing legal documentation or building financial models.
-
Centralized admin console with user management, usage analytics, and unified billing.
-
Self-serve onboarding for small and mid-sized teams.
-
The Enterprise edition adds custom SSO, directory sync via SCIM, advanced security and audit controls, and Enterprise Vault, which is a new offering that provides an isolated data plane with customer managed encryption keys, keeping enterprise data fully segregated from xAI’s shared consumer infrastructure. This has become a standard offering among Enterprise-grade AI offerings.
This isn’t xAI’s first premium AI subscription offering — it previously monetized Grok through consumer subscriptions, initially bundled with X Premium Plus, and later offered as a standalone subscription outside of the X social platform. However the launch of Grok Business & Enterprise is the company’s first time entering the competitive enterprise space currently led by OpenAI’s ChatGPT Team, Anthropic’s Claude Team, and Google Gemini.
The release of Grok Business & Enterprise comes the same week that xAI took heat for Grok removing clothing from pictures of people without their consent (including minors). The company apologized for the issue and called it a “failure in safeguards.”
