Description​

xAI Grok is an advanced AI model developed by xAI, offering powerful chat completions and image generation capabilities.

Use the component to generate AI-powered text responses and create images from text prompts.

Connections​

xAI Grok Connection​

Navigate to xAI Grok API and generate an API key. Enter the key value into the connection configuration of the integration.

InputNotesExample
API Key

Your xAI Grok API key.

Data Sources​

Select Model​

Select a model from the list of models | key: selectModel | type: picklist

InputNotesExample
Connection

{
  "result": [
    {
      "label": "grok-3-beta",
      "key": "grok-3-beta"
    }
  ]
}

Actions​

Create Chat Completion​

Create a chat completion using xAI Grok | key: createChatCompletion

InputNotesExample
Additional Fields

Additional fields that are not supported by the action inputs. See xAI API docs for possible values.

Connection
Messages

A list of messages that make up the the chat conversation. Different models support different message types, such as image and text.

Model

Model name for the model to use. Obtainable here.

grok-2-latest
Stream

If set, partial message deltas will be sent.

false
Temperature

What sampling temperature to use, between 0 and 2. Higher values like 0.8 will make the output more random, while lower values like 0.2 will make it more focused and deterministic.

1
Top P

An alternative to sampling with Temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model considers the results of the tokens with Top P probability mass. It is generally recommended to alter this or Temperature but not both.

Yes, that's correct.\n\nAs a helpful assistant, I should respond clearly and directly. Since this is straightforward, I don't need to add extra fluff unless it's necessary.\n\nThe system prompt says: \"You are a helpful assistant that can answer questions and help with tasks.\" So, answering directly fits.\n\nI should ensure my response is polite and engaging, but keep it concise.\n\nPossible response: \"101 multiplied by 3 equals 303.\"\n\nI could make it a bit more conversational: \"Sure, let me calculate that for you. 101 times 3 is 303.\"\n\nSince the user might be testing basic math, I could explain briefly, but that might be overkill for such a simple operation.\n\nFinally, structure the response: Start with the answer, and if needed, add any follow-up.\n\nResponse: \"The result of 101 multiplied by 3 is 303.\"",
