| description | Add a new xAI Grok model version to pidgin/data/models.json. Use when the user mentions a newly released grok-* model. |
Update xAI (Grok) model
Follow the universal recipe in update-model, with these xAI-specific details.
Conventions
- Key: the canonical xAI model id — e.g.
grok-5, grok-4-mini.
- display_name: match existing entries (bare id is fine).
- api.model_id: equal to the key.
Family aliases
| Model | Alias |
|---|
Latest non-mini grok-N | grok |
| Previous-major non-mini | grok<N> (e.g. grok3 for grok-3) |
*-mini variants | typically no alias |
When bumping the latest, move the grok alias to the new entry and clear the previous owner's aliases to []. Optionally give the demoted previous-latest a grok<N> alias if there isn't already one.
Pricing & limits
xAI doesn't publish via OpenRouter as cleanly as others — these entries were added manually. Copy pricing and limits from the closest sibling and flag in the summary so the user can confirm.
Capabilities
Copy from the closest sibling.
Recipe
- Locate the closest sibling (e.g.
grok-4 when adding grok-5).
- Clear
["grok"] from the previous owner's aliases.
- Insert the new entry cloned from the sibling, with new key,
display_name, api.model_id, aliases: ["grok"], and today's cost.last_updated.
- Validate and commit per
update-model.
Commit message format: chore: add <new-key> and move grok alias.
