Not available for Europeans yet. :(


I think it should be available through Cursor?

EDIT: Tested myself, it's actually NOT available from EU. But with a Swiss VPN it works :)


We will probably see it when it's available for everyone.

This is the first time I see a lab region locking a model though.

I think Facebook/Meta was first with this, can't remember exactly what model release but one/some of them had terms locking out EU/EEA residents from using it/some specific features of it.


first image gen models from openai and google were not available in the eu at the launch


xAI is under criminal investigation in the EU


Who isn't


Contrary to what you're implying, that's more of a reflection on the typical US corporation than the EU.


Hilarious comment now when they try to push Chat Control again.


I'm not - then again I didn't launch a image generation model advertised as having a spicy mode so that might have something to do with the coincidence.


Apple, Google (Alphabet), Meta, Tik-tok etc are also, it's the EU shakedown method.


You think ur not...


They say "EU availability is expected in mid-July". So next week or so.


Luckily, basic VPN to US is enough to use it. Just tested it.
