Summary

xAI’s new X Subscription combines Grok, Grokbot, Cursor, and X Premium, while pooling Grok usage across its products and separating access to third-party models, which now requires API credits. The host explains the new plans, usage limits, and optional migration, and says the unified plan may suit people who already pay for X or mainly use Grok, while heavy users of other models in Cursor may prefer to stay on legacy plans for now. He demonstrates how the unified dashboard and Cursor usage work, including testing Grok, Gemini, and Claude access. He also shares an internal SpaceX image that suggests xAI may be moving toward combining Grok Build and Cursor, while noting that the value of the ecosystem depends on Grok’s models improving.

Key points

The X Subscription brings Grok, Grokbot, Cursor, and X Premium together in one plan, but switching is optional for existing subscribers.
Grok usage is pooled across Grok apps, X, Grokbot, and Cursor, with higher tiers promising more usage.
Usage of third-party models in Cursor is now separate and requires the user’s own API credits.
The $8 plan includes basic Cursor access and Grok models; higher tiers add features such as Grokbot and Cursor cloud agents.
The host recommends trying the $30 plan before upgrading further, if the user is comfortable with the Grok ecosystem.
People who rely on third-party models such as Claude or Gemini inside Cursor may find the new plans less attractive.
The host switched plans because he already paid for X Premium and mainly used Grokbot; he says the migration preserved his existing credits.
A SpaceX internal image shown in the video groups tools into knowledge-work and coding-work areas and labels Grok Build with “cursor” in parentheses.
The host speculates that xAI may eventually combine Grok Build and Cursor, but says the future branding is unknown.
The unified subscription’s value depends on Grok’s model quality, which the host says was behind competing models at the time of recording.

Full transcript (original language)

00:00 xAI has announced the X Subscription, a simplification of all its services: Grok, Cursor, and X. However, this change comes with significant alterations to usage limits, plan pricing, and, above all, it is optional . That is why, in today’s video, I want to tell you about all the changes with the new X subscription. We will see what changes for Grok and what changes for Cursor. I will tell you what I did and why, and answer the question: are Cursor’s days numbered, or is it still worth using it through the X

00:33 Subscription? Guys, ever since the acquisition of Cursor by xAI, right? Things have become a bit cloudy, haven’t they? Because they’ve bundled many services, and it’s quite clear that xAI’s plan is, in fact, to unify Cursor as their development platform. They even call it “Grok Build.” And today, it’s a bit strange because we have Grok Build on one side and Cursor on the other. With Elon Musk himself saying that xAI’s proprietary models,

01:05 the Grok ones, run better on Grok Build . So it seems to me that there is a move to unify everything. I don’t know where Cursor will end up. Of course, it won’t die as a product, but perhaps there could be a rebranding, which is exactly what they seem to be doing. So I decided to make this video because I know many people enjoy using Cursor, myself included. Additionally, we recently had the launch of Grokbot, which was a success; it is being widely used and gaining a lot of hype, especially abroad. And with this new X

01:40 subscription, I think some quite relevant things change that are worth us discussing, okay? Furthermore, it’s not obvious whether you should unify your accounts or not. So, let’s start by stipulating the problem, shall we? Today, if you want to use Grok, you create an account on Grok, or you can use it via Cursor, or via API, or even inside X. So there are several touchpoints, each with a different subscription. And obviously, that

02:11 wasn’t great, right? So I think this move to unify the subscriptions is positive. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it, okay? What might not make sense to you are the new terms of this unified subscription that we’re going to see in today’s video. All right? So let me start here, you know, talking about the original launch post for the new X subscription, okay? So here we have Grok, the model, Grok Bot, Cursor, and X Premium, all in one single plan. Uh, here on the channel, you who are watching me surely know

02:43 what Grok, Grok Bot, and Cursor are. If you don’t know what X Premium is, it’s basically your subscription over on X, okay? So X is part of xAI and by being premium, you can even get this verified badge and several other things you get there, you know, on the social network. This isn’t for everyone, although I believe that for those in the tech field, it’s quite cool to be there on X , because that’s where, you know, the discussions happen, right? So you can get access there to, for example, Mark

03:15 Zuckerberg goes to announce a new model , he goes to X, he doesn’t go to Threads anymore, right? So all the discussions, the news, and even the players themselves in the world of artificial intelligence today, basically everyone is there on X, okay? So I think it’s interesting for those who want to study, to be more involved, but obviously, you know, the X Premium subscription isn’t essential, okay? So, what’s in each vertical here? Well, Grok is the part you chat with, right? It has voice, image, and video

03:47 generation there, okay? This is what you’ll use over on X, it’s what you get when you go to grok.com and talk to it there, okay? So, if I go here to grok.com, you’ll have this little chat interface very similar to ChatGPT, Claude AI, Gemini, etc. So, all right. So, here you have a normal chat interface, right? This here is the most basic one, especially for those just starting to use artificial intelligence , you usually start with these chatbot interfaces, okay? Then you now also have access to Grok Bot, okay? So, Grok Bot is xAI’s take on personal

04:22 assistants, which is very good and even OpenAI’s bots, you know, OpenAI’s bots basically copied the idea of Grok Bot, okay? This is a much bigger fever abroad than it is here, right? Over in the United States, we also have Meta AI , which is Meta’s assistant, and Grokbot, right, which is also coming along very well. I’ve already made a video about my use cases for Grokbot. I’ll leave the link here if you want to watch it later. I really like it, you know? And we also have the Cursor subscription, which is for you to

04:53 develop software, right? So, both for you to develop locally, as well as for you to develop with agents in the cloud . And I’ve been talking a lot here on the channel about this trend of us having agents in the cloud. It’s increasingly gaining focus in AI companies. We had Canvas Cloud at OpenAI’s DevDay about two weeks ago. We had Claude Projects, which now runs basically in the cloud and turned out excellent. It was the topic of my last video, which I’ll leave the link for you to watch later. So the big AI

05:24 players are pushing you to work in the cloud, and Cursor would be the AI interface for you to do that, okay? And of course, there’s the checkmark part on X, plus other creation tools, so if you are a content creator, this is certainly interesting for you, fewer ads and things like that, okay? OK. So let’s get to the practical part, okay? So the paid X Subscription plans include generous usage of the Grok Model, okay? The Grok model. They don’t say how much. And this is now shared between Grok and Cursor, okay? So,

05:58 basically, each new tier, each new usage bracket gives more usage per dollar than the plan it was replacing. So this is their promise, and this is normal, a standard practice. Usually, companies will give a relative amount of usage, right? So you have, let’s say , the pro cloud plan, and then the max plan for X dollars is five times more, and the plan for Y is 20 times more, right? So they do something relative there, and here at Grok they are doing the same thing too. And this pool, this shared usage, covers Grok models,

06:32 regardless of whether you are using the Grok apps, using Grok there on X, or you are on Cursor, so all your usage drinks from this same source, okay? Which I think is interesting, you know? It’s just one single limit that you end up having for all Grok usage. Whether you’re using Cursor to develop apps, using Grokbot as a personal assistant, or using the chat to answer everyday questions, right? So, it’s a single pool of limits, okay? And here again is

07:04 their promise that each new plan includes at least double the usage for programming with Grok models compared to the Cursor plan, okay? So, here comes a major advantage. If you were using Grok models to program, you will possibly be satisfied with this change. And now for what is perhaps the most controversial news of this launch: with the new plans, models from other providers—third-party models—that

07:35 is, those not from xAI, for example, OpenAI GPT-4o, Google Gemini 1.5 Pro, right? These models, okay, you can still use them in Cursor, but now their usage is separate, okay? You will have to pay via API; you will have to add credit to be able to use these other models. How did it work before the unification? Before the unification, you subscribed to, for example, Cursor, you got a pool to use Grok models and you got a pool to use third-party

08:10 models, right? And then Cursor subsidized that API cost, but they passed it on to you in some way. So it was a pool that provided much lower usage, okay? So if you wanted to use, for example, GPT-4o inside Cursor, you wouldn’t have much usage, but you could use it within a single subscription. Not anymore. Now you will have to add your own API key to run any other model inside Cursor, okay? So, if you used to use Cursor with models other than Grok,

08:40 it might not be worth it for you to make the change, okay? We’ll see more about this throughout the video, okay? So, one very important thing is that you can choose to stay on your current plans, okay? Nothing changes for those who already subscribe to SuperGrok, those who already subscribe to Cursor, or those who already subscribe to X Premium, okay? You can keep your plan or you can decide to make the change. Now, there is a detail: if you make the change, they will give you some discounts. I paid 50%less than I would have for 6 months by making the change, okay? And perhaps the main point for me

09:13 here is that the company is clearly focusing on unifying their services. So , alright, maybe you can even keep it, but for how long, right? You don’t need to rush to make a change if you didn’t like it. But it seems to me that this is where they are heading, okay? They are moving in this direction. So I wouldn’t be surprised if, you know, in 6 months from now you might not be able to keep it anymore, because no company likes to keep maintaining compatible services, especially having already offered a path toward unification. So I

09:43 personally imagine that this will end at some point in the future, although you can keep it for now. Let’s talk about the plans. So, coming over here to the pricing part, we have some interesting news. The first interesting news here is that the cheapest plan is now the 8 dollar plus plan. This was what you paid just to have that checkmark on X. So, if you are an X Premium subscriber, man, for you, without a doubt, this is a no-brainer, okay? This is going to be worth it. Why ? Besides having what you already had

10:19 before, which was the X checkmark, you will unlock the use of Cursor and you will unlock the use of Grok via API, okay? So just this for me is already very worth it. And a detail too, it places X Premium in the 8 dollar plan, perhaps as the most accessible plan for those who want to start programming, because with 8 dollars you can already start using Cursor with Grok models. Of course, guys, Grok 4.7 was a model that many people didn’t like, but from 4.5

10:52 to 4.6 they were very good models. So a company with this capability like Xai, which has plenty of compute, they are one good launch away from getting back to the top. I know that at the moment the community sentiment is a bit mixed regarding this, but think that you might have, maybe in the next launch with Grok 4.8, paying 8 dollars a month for access to the frontier model, okay? Very, very cool. Alright. Now, after the 8 dollar plan, then comes the jump to the 30 dollar plan, which is different from what we have over at

11:26 OpenAI, which starts at 20, at Claude which starts at 20, and even at Cursor which also started at 20, okay? So here you will have four times more usage than the Plus plan and here you will unlock Grokbot. So, before you had to pay for the $ cursor to unlock it. Now you’ll have to pay at least $ 30 to unlock Grok Bot, okay? Besides other things here, like, for example, the ability to run agents in the cloud on Cursor and their AI code review, plus

11:58 other priorities, right? Ah, an interesting thing here, if you use X, is that you can, starting from this plan, request a preferred handle, right ? A preferred one. And I actually even did this here. If you go to handles.com , you can make a request here for a handle you want to get for yourself if it’s not being used, okay? At the moment I’m recording this video, I even made a request here to get the handle @quintanilha. You can see here that it’s pending, right? At the moment mine is @rafain, and I’ll even leave my

12:30 Twitter down below, right? My X, if you want to follow me. I really like to share things from the community there as well. So it’s a small advantage here for those who use Twitter, which is being able to have a preferred handle if it’s not being used. So from the $ 30 plan you would also get this. And then the next jump would be the $ plan. Basically, it will have a larger subsidy, right? So you pay about 3.3 times more and get even a bit more subsidy here in the subscription. Here there’s a very interesting little table

13:01 where we can see what’s included in each plan, okay? So alright, look here, we see that in the $ 8 plan you lose video generation, you can’t use Grok to generate video, and you don’t have access to Grok Bot. And in Cursor you only use the normal Cursor agent; you won’t have access to the other things. What is the Cursor agent? It’s here, look, I’m here in Cursor, for example, and I can click here on agents window. And there you go, I’m here with Cursor agents to use. So, starting from $ 8, this would already be valid, okay? Now,

13:31 it seems to me that for most people, the most interesting would be the $ 30 plan to unlock Grok Bot, to unlock, right, the Cursor cloud agents, right, Code Reviews, and even be able to use other models, right, paying the API price there, okay? So the $ 30 one seems like an excellent value for money to me. And if you get the one for that price, you basically get all of this, but with a lot more usage, okay? So, for both the Super plan and the other, my recommendation is that you first try using the 30-dollar plan to see if

14:02 you’re hitting the limits or not. If you are hitting the limit, then you can upgrade, provided you like the Grok ecosystem. All right? Now that we’ve seen the official post, I want to show you this tweet from Matt Palmer, who is a guy who has been making a lot of videos about Grok Bot and so on. He is a very influential guy over at xAI and speaks a lot with the development team. And he made a post here that I think is very clarifying, okay? So, basically, the first thing he highlights here is what I already said: the changes are

14:34 optional. If you don’t do anything, nothing happens. You can keep your current plan with the same benefits, no problem at all, same price, etc. And of course, anyone doing new signups or upgrading will move to the new plans. That’s why I think that, well, maybe they won’t support these old plans for much longer, okay? So, here is the usage we already went over. Now, the important part is that in the new plans , the Cursor usage is unified; it’s no longer monthly, it used to be monthly and is now weekly. So, it’s in line

15:09 with ChatGPT and Claude, right? You have a weekly usage limit for AI and everyone is sharing that same pool, that same usage, okay? All products drink from the same source, all right? All Grok Bot usage is prioritized, right? And if you are on the premium tier or above, you get at least double the Grok Bot usage, okay? So, the premium plan is this 30-dollar one here . So, it seems to me that you’ll be able to use Grok Bot more than you could on the 20-dollar plan originally. All right? And he even concludes by

15:43 saying here, look, whether you should switch or not depends on which products you use and that’s different for everyone. If you pay for X today or most of your usage is through Grok, then the new plans are probably a better deal for you, okay? Now, if you use a lot of other models within the Cursor API, then it might not be worth it. Now, there is one detail, okay? I just made a video where I show that, if you have a Pro plan or higher at Anthropic, meaning if you pay $ 20 a month for your Claude subscription, you

16:18 now get a rebate of that same amount on your subscription plan to spend on API usage. Which means you can take these API credits you’re earning, which expire at the end of the month, and use them, for example, in Cursor, okay? So that is excellent. I’ll show you in a bit how you can do that. Actually, if you want to see that change at Claude, I’ll leave the link for you to watch the video later. Alright, guys, let me show you something. I made the switch, okay? To make the switch, you go here to grok.com/unify. And since I’ve

16:53 already made the switch, I land here on the dashboard, but basically you go to/ unify and it’s right there, right? You’ll see that now I don’t go to Cursor anymore, I go to grok/dashboard. It’s an interface very similar to what I had in Cursor, okay? And we can see here what I have access to, okay? The plan, because I was on the $ 60 Cursor plan, and then they moved me to the plan, the Super plan. So for me, at this moment, making this change was worth it, okay? I even took a screenshot when I did the upgrade here

17:24 so I could show you guys, okay? So, look, it was actually 40%off that they gave me here for me to go to this Super plan, right? So, I basically went from the $ 60 one to a plan here that is also $ 60, right? So I didn’t get any discount, but I’m getting much more usage than I theoretically would have on the $ 60 plan. Alright? So here is for you to see the price at the moment I’m recording this video, okay? Alright , before I show you a bit of the practice, let me tell you why I made the switch, okay? First, I already paid

17:56 for X Premium, I was already paying for X. So just that, that $ 8 I mentioned, it already made sense for me to unify. Secondly, I was on the $ 60 Cursor plan , mainly because I wanted to use Grokbot. I haven’t really been using Cursor to code, okay? But I have been using Grokbot. It might actually make sense for me to stay on the 20 dollar plan just to use Grokbot and have some Cursor usage, basically using Cursor in the cloud, right? The cloud agents, you know, when I eventually need to dispatch from Grokbot, and so on, okay?

18:29 Since I was on the 60 dollar plan that I had upgraded to, they moved me to this plan, right, with much more usage. It made sense. Anyway, as I said, I don’t use Cursor to code, and when I do , I prefer to use Grok. Why? Because if I’m going to use Opus, I prefer to stay on the Claude subscription, which is working out great. If I’m going to use OpenAI models, which aren’t even there in Cursor anymore, it’s better to stick with the Codex subscription. Maybe the main use case I lost, which might be relevant to you, is using Google models in Cursor with a Cursor subscription. Now you’ll have to pay for them

19:02 separately. As you can see here, I actually have quite a lot of credit that I earned from various things here. So I’m not too worried about that at the moment, okay? I can even use my credits for now, but for those who liked using Gemini models in Cursor, since Google’s harnesses aren’t the best we have, I think that might be a loss, okay? In my case, I basically used Grok, because when I wanted to use other models, I would go to the harness of those models. For me, it made sense to consolidate. Now, if you like using Opus or Gemini within the Cursor subscription, then it might not be

19:35 worth it for you. Got it? So let me show you something here, okay? If we look here under usage, there it is, my weekly usage. And then you’ll see that my usage is coming in right here. Grokbot is now showing up directly here . Let’s do the following: let me show you then that we can use it here in Cursor, okay? So, I’m here, I don’t know, coding with Grok, and I’ll just say something random here. Hi, how are you? So, I’ll send a random inference here inside Cursor in the agents tab. And let’s see. All right, it answered.

20:06 Let me hit F5 here to see if it shows up quickly. It usually shows up, look. It’s right here, look. See it? Cursor included Grock 4.7. All right. So, let me switch, let me switch the model now. I’ll pick, for example, Gemini 1.5 Pro that just came out, right? So, let’s run Gemini Pro here and ask something like: “How is the 404 page that we have right now?” So, I have the 404 page there on the program’s site. And I’m sending it here for Gemini to investigate for me, okay? So you can see that Gemini has already started

20:38 investigating, and we can even see here if the inference already happened, look . Ah, nice, it already ran here, look. And so what happened? It came from Cursor and it’s using up my credits. So for me, that’s fine. Actually, I even have another grant here, right? So I think it’s pulling first from these grants I have that expire, and I still have these other credits. I had this in Cursor, so it was cool because I managed to migrate without losing anything, without losing the credits I had. Pretty cool. Let’s do another test now. Let’s try to do it with the Claude API to see how it goes. So I’m going to

21:10 do the following here now, okay? I’ll go into Cursor, I’ll go to settings here. And then we have, look, models API keys, and I’ll put in my Anthropic API key, okay? So, my API key is connected here. And then I can go to, look, use Anthropic API key. And I’ll click here to enable the use of the API key. And it asks me, look, are you sure you want to enable your own Anthropic API key? Many of the Cursor features require models that cannot be passed

21:41 through an API. Here, in this case, it would be more like tab, and so on. Well , enable, OK? It even shows up here, look, with your Pro subscription, you don’t need to use your own API key, okay? But I’m doing this here to show you guys, right? Because otherwise it will keep using my grant. I want to show it using the API Key itself, okay? So let’s go back here. Let me send this to Opus now and I’ll say “how do you think this should be?” So now I’m using my third model in the same conversation . I set it to Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and

22:14 this model should be routed through the API. Look, it already made the connection. Let’s go back here. Let’s hit F5 now. Look at that, guys, it’s using my credits here, okay? I think this is Cursor trying to be smart by not spending money if I have credits, you know? I even checked my Claude platform to see the usage, and nothing showed up here, okay? So, I really don’t think it used my API key here, so I won’t be able to show that to you. If you test this out, let me know in the comments if it works, if you can use

22:47 your own Claude API, and if it pulls from the right place or not, okay? I’ll even take this chance to disable it, because it seems like it’ll keep using my credits on my account until they run out, which is actually a good solution to prevent wasting money. So, I have my Groq bot open here. And I was talking to it about the SDK, right? Because the Cursor SDK is still around. I’ve even made a video here on the channel about the Cursor SDK. I’ll leave a link for you to watch it later. And the SDK uses your own limits, okay? So you can have

23:20 your Groq subscription and use the Groq SDK, pulling from your own subscription . Got it? So I don’t know, do we have only TypeScript SDK and is there an alternative to Claude managed agents? So I made a video talking about those managed ones, which is basically the Claude harness running in the cloud. And you can use Cursor via SDK too, and you can run agents in the cloud. Even though it’s not the same thing, okay? And look at the response here. There’s a Python SDK for Cursor too, pretty

23:54 cool. And for the closest thing to managed agents, it would actually be Claude agents, okay? They run on a hosted machine with a workspace, etc., etc. You know? The main difference is that Cursor agents are built around code, you know, programming, while managed agents are more for general purposes, okay? So, that’s actually missing a bit in the Cursor cloud environment, but let’s refresh here to see. And there it is, every Groq request shows up here too. And a curious thing, right, is that it’s

24:25 included in your subscription, but it doesn’t say which model it is. Now, folks, before we finish this video, I wanted to show you an image that was shared with me by someone from inside SpaceX, right? For those who don’t know , I’m an engineering director at a company in the United States, I was having a meeting with the SpaceX team and that person showed me this image, okay? And I found it interesting here, I wanted to show you, because this is the internal view over at SpaceX, okay? So you’ll see here that they are creating a separation, okay? They are

25:00 purposefully separating here, look, into knowledge work and coding work. So we have here apps geared toward programming and apps geared toward knowledge work, whether for you to interact with a chat, or for you to use a personal assistant, in the case of Grokbot, okay? So in knowledge work they have here what they are calling Grokmana, right, which is their chatbot . And there is also Grokbot, right, which is precisely that possibility of you having an agent doing something for you. And Grokbot has been getting better and better, okay? They have been adding, they have been adding very

25:33 interesting functionality there to Grokbot for programming. So they have here Grok Build, which, look how curious, look what is in parentheses here: cursor. So it seems to me, it seems to me that the medium-term plan, perhaps of SpaceX and xAI, is to unite Grok Build and Cursor into one thing. I don’t know if the name will remain Cursor, if it will be called Grok Build , anyway, but it seems to me that this is what will happen, okay? So this is for you who want to build apps with AI. You want to use AI to build something.

26:08 Also, let me take the opportunity to tell you about the agentic programming course we have in our AI Engineering program, and there I have an agentic programming course that is precisely about this. It’s for those who want to build apps, want to build software with many agents assisting; we already have plenty of lessons there, people have been liking it a lot, the feedback is excellent. So I invite you to check out the agentic programming course, which is part of the AI engineer track. The AI engineer track. Beyond the agentic programming course, there will be the AI engineering fundamentals course so

26:41 you can learn the foundation of what you will apply, and the harness engineering course for you to build AI systems, the agents, the agents that will operate for you, alright? So, both the track and the agentic programming course can be purchased separately on the program’s website, which I will link in the description and in the pinned comment, alright? But getting back to Grok, they have Grok Build, the cursor, for those who want to build apps with AI, okay? And in fact, they are using their own Git, which they are

27:12 calling Origin, right? So it’s a replacement for GitHub. As an aside, we just saw Anthropic also reveal that it is using another internal Git system that it coded internally, right? So you are seeing more and more large companies even moving away from Git. The difference is that with Grok Build, with the cursor, you will be able to be in this system of theirs here, in Origin too. And if you go back to that little table, you will see it appears here: code hosting via Origin. Starting from the 30-dollar plan, you can

27:47 already get access to this “GitHub” from xAI, right? Got it? And besides Grok Build, you have the Grok API. This is for you to put AI into your app. So you want to embed the use of AI in your app, you can do it with the Grok API. And there you will have text, voice, right? Text generation, voice generation, image and video generation, search both on the web and on X, as well as code and files too, right? So this is for you to integrate AI functionality into your app. And the interesting thing is that these four

28:22 strands, these four verticals share connectors, automations, skills, plugins, in addition to security and governance issues. And they are here drinking from the source of the Grok models, okay? And this person inside SpaceX confided in me that what they are betting on is the fact that no one on the planet has more compute than they do. And we saw how that makes a difference, right? We’re seeing OpenAI running into trouble with compute, we’re seeing Anthropic, which by the way is also renting machines from

28:57 SpaceX, and he even told me they have plans to build a data center, to put their computers on the moon, right? So that’s Elon being Elon Musk. I don’t know if that will come true, but they are certainly not the best company; they are at the top of the best-positioned companies to generate inference, to get their models up and running, okay? So, of course, this depends on you having good Grok models, right? There’s no point in having a whole suite here, an ecosystem, if your models are bad. And we were also

29:27 disappointed, of course, with the launch of Grok 4.7, but as I said at the beginning of this video, with big companies that have plenty of computational power, a single launch is enough for them to get back in the fight, okay? At the moment, we have Grok 4.7 quite far behind, right, from the other models that have been coming out. Gemini 1.5 Pro, the new Claude, Claude 3.5 Sonnet goes without saying, but who knows, especially now, right, that the xAI team? Is there, and lending machines to Anthropic, who

29:59 knows if we won’t see the Grok model much closer, right, to what the Claude 3.5 Sonnet model is. And I mentioned it’s curious that the Grok dashboard doesn’t show which model the Grok Bot is using, precisely because Elon Musk himself said that Grok Bot was going to start using Claude 3.5. Behind the scenes, since it would be the best model. So this war of narratives continues. Clearly, they at least recognize they are behind in terms of models, but I would imagine this subscription could get very interesting

30:32 , especially if a Grok 4.8 comes out that pushes Grok’s models to the top of the rankings. Alright? But now I want to hear from you: what did you think of this unification of X Subscriptions? Does it make sense to you? Are you going to stick with Cursor, or are you going to go with the unified plan? Tell me in the comments below. I also need to say that the unification process was quite easy, okay? They did a good engineering job there; I had three accounts and it unified everything, gave a refund here and there, charged a different card, but in the end,

31:05 everything worked out perfectly. So, unifying worked out well. Whether it makes sense or not will depend on your usage. As I said, if you basically use, you know, the Groq ecosystem, the Groq models, it will possibly be worth it. If you use Cursor to use models from other companies, I would stay on the legacy plan for now, although we don’t know for how much longer, okay? If you’ve made it this far, I kindly ask you to like this video, share it with your friends who have a Cursor subscription; I’m sure it will be

31:35 useful to them too. Take the opportunity to hype this video, subscribe to the channel; your help is very important to us. Don’t forget, if you want to learn about agentic programming, want to learn how to build apps with AI, check out our agentic programming course, it’s really cool, okay? I am immensely grateful to you for being with me until now and see you next time. Yeah.
