As part of the agreement, Telegram will receive $300 million in cash and equity from xAI. Telegram will also receive 50 percent of revenue from xAI subscriptions sold via its platform.

Edit: Looks like the deal changed rather quickly.

    Grok UI elements and number of GIFs in the picker are 100% local features clients can choose to ignore.

      Ah, so you mean Grok service just being available from TG UI without any authentication from TG being used?

        I‘m saying whatever the server asks the client, a client can choose to hide the UI elements. Nothing more, nothing less.

          Yes, I mean it wouldn’t change anything if Grok were a premium-only feature, apparently this was about ability to turn it off, ok fine.
