About xAI (Grok)

AIWatch Data: Based on AIWatch data from the last 30 days, xAI (Grok) has maintained a clean record with zero incidents.

xAI is the AI company founded by Elon Musk, providing the Grok family of language models via API. Grok models are known for real-time data access through X (Twitter) integration.

AIWatch Insight: xAI publishes incidents via RSS feed rather than a typical Statuspage interface, so AIWatch parses a different format. xAI is a relatively new entrant — its incident history is shorter than established providers, and probe-based response times are tracked across multiple regions.

When xAI API is down, applications using Grok models for real-time data analysis or chat will fail. Apps relying on Grok's X integration for current events queries will lose that capability.

This page provides real-time status, 30-day uptime history, and recent incident details — updated every 5 minutes by AIWatch.

What are alternatives to Grok?

Based on current AIWatch data, Groq Cloud (Score: 92) and Fireworks AI (Score: 87) are the most reliable alternatives right now. For general LLM API, OpenAI, Claude, or Gemini are mature alternatives. None match Grok's real-time X integration, but AIWatch shows current availability for each.

Is Grok down because of X (Twitter)?

Grok depends on xAI infrastructure separate from X. However, real-time data features may be affected by X platform issues. Check this page for the current xAI API status.
