Grok on OpenGradient
Grok, unbundled from X.
Grok 4.3 and its fast variants normally live behind an X account and a Premium subscription. Here they're one row in the picker: anonymous access, per-message pricing, and every rival model a click away when you want a second opinion.

The usual way has a catch
Using Grok normally means an account that knows you.
The official apps tie every conversation to your account, your payment method and your history - and bill you a monthly plan for one vendor's models. The models are excellent; the envelope is the problem.
One vendor, one subscription
Model loyalty enforced by billing: comparing labs means stacking $20 subscriptions, so most people never compare at all.
Identity rides along
Hosted access normally attaches your account to every prompt. The anonymity layer here splits identity from content - structurally, not by policy.

Here's how OpenGradient is different
The edgy frontier model, without the social network
Flagship sizes, no hardware
The full-size models - not the quantized compromises - served from the studio picker alongside every other family, switchable mid-conversation.
Pay per message
No subscription: each message is priced by the model you use and shown before you send. 1,000 credits = $1.
Anonymous by architecture
Encrypted relays and secure enclaves ensure no party - including us - holds both your identity and your prompts.

The anonymity layer
Grok, minus the file on you.
Not a policy promise - a protocol. No single party, including us, ever holds both your identity and your question.

Messages are encrypted locally before they leave your browser.
Anonymized by Oblivious HTTP
Network relays split who you are from what you're asking. No one sees both.
Unlocked only in a secure enclave
The model reads your prompt inside attested hardware that never learns who sent it.
