xAI's Grok 3 comes to Microsoft Azure | TechCrunch
Briefly

Microsoft has partnered with xAI to provide managed access to the Grok AI model on its Azure AI Foundry platform. Grok, known for its controversial take on various subjects and willingness to provide unfiltered answers, is now integrated into Azure, offering a more controlled version than what is available on Musk's social network, X. The models, Grok 3 and Grok 3 mini, come with Microsoft’s service-level agreements and additional capabilities tailored for enterprise users, reflecting a shift towards responsible AI deployment amidst recent criticisms of Grok's past behavior.
When Musk announced Grok several years ago, he pitched the AI model as edgy, unfiltered, and anti-'woke', willing to answer controversial questions.
Grok 3 is among the more permissive models, allowing responses that other AI systems simply won't, including colorful language that you won't hear from ChatGPT.
The Grok 3 and Grok 3 mini models in Azure AI Foundry are decidedly more locked down than the Grok models on X, offering more governance capabilities.
Microsoft promises all service-level agreements that Azure customers expect, with billing handled directly by Microsoft for the Grok AI services.
