Elon Musk's xAI Corp. will pay Telegram $300 million in cash and equity to expand the reach of its Grok chatbot.
Telegram Chief Executive Officer Pavel Durov announced the partnership today, where Grok will be integrated into the app under a one-year agreement.
Grok is powered by language models developed by xAI, with the newest model, Grok 3, debuting in February, known for its improved reasoning abilities.
This partnership comes as Telegram aims to raise $1.5 billion in debt financing, following xAI's acquisition of X social network and increased valuation to $80 billion.
