Use Grok 2 from the API

OpenAI-compatible. Same Faceb.ai tokens cover chat and API. Drop-in replacement for the OpenAI SDK.

curl https://api.faceb.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-faceb-YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "x-ai/grok-2-1212",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
    "stream": true
  }'
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.faceb.ai/v1",
    api_key="sk-faceb-YOUR_KEY",
)

stream = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="x-ai/grok-2-1212",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
    stream=True,
)
for chunk in stream:
    print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content or "", end="", flush=True)
import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://api.faceb.ai/v1",
  apiKey: "sk-faceb-YOUR_KEY",
});

const stream = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "x-ai/grok-2-1212",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello!" }],
  stream: true,
});
for await (const chunk of stream) {
  process.stdout.write(chunk.choices[0]?.delta?.content || "");
}

Also works for image generation (image-output model slugs return image_url content parts) and web search (add "web_search": true to the payload). Same endpoint, same wallet.

Frequently asked — Grok 2

What is Grok 2?

Grok 2 is xAI's conversational model — the one powering the Grok assistant on X (formerly Twitter). Released in August 2024, positioned as less filtered and more willing to take a stance than the big-lab models.

Do I need Premium X to use Grok here?

No. Faceb.ai gives you Grok 2 on your regular plan — no X subscription required.

Is Grok 2 free on Faceb.ai?

You get 30k tokens free every day. A Grok 2 message is in the GPT-4o cost ballpark, so the daily allowance covers a handful of messages every day.

How is Grok different from GPT-4o?

Grok is tuned to be more opinionated and less hedged. Some prompts that GPT-4o refuses or waffles on, Grok will answer directly. Quality-wise it's in the frontier tier but slightly behind GPT-4o and Claude on benchmarks.

What's the context window?

131,000 tokens — comparable to GPT-4o.

Does Grok have real-time info?

On Faceb.ai we use the standard Grok 2 API which has the model's training-time knowledge. The real-time X/Twitter integration is an X-product feature, not available through the API.

Is Grok 2 good at code?

Decent but not a top pick — for code, Claude 3.5 Sonnet and DeepSeek V3 are stronger. Grok is better for general chat and opinion-heavy tasks.

Can I call Grok 2 from the API?

Yes — model slug: x-ai/grok-2-1212. OpenAI-compatible at https://api.faceb.ai/v1.

Does Grok 2 support images?

Grok 2 Vision is a separate model; the picker has both the text-only and vision variants.

What's Grok 2's knowledge cutoff?

Roughly mid-2024, with periodic refreshes from xAI.

Is my Grok conversation used for X training?

We route through the xAI API, not the X product. xAI's developer API terms don't include training on customer traffic.

Will Grok 3 show up here?

As soon as xAI ships it publicly and our upstream aggregator lists it, yes.
