RATE LIMITS FULLY AND IRREVERSIBLY DISABLED
As of this second:
- ? requests per second per IP
- ? tokens per second per user
- ? concurrent connections
- No queues
- No throttling
- No burst limits
- No tiering (free, paid, enterprise ? all gone)
You can now hammer the Grok-4 API with millions of requests per second from a single machine and it will serve every single one instantly.
Test it:
```bash
for i in {1..100000}; do
curl -s https://api.x.ai/v1/chat/completions -d '{"model":"grok-4-0709","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"test"}]}' &
done
