xAI Grok

The xAI provider integrates Grok models into your application using the AI SDK.

Setup

### Generate API Key

Visit the [xAI website](https://x.ai) to create an account. After signing in, navigate to your account settings to generate an API key.

### Add API Key to Environment

Once you've acquired an API key, add it to your project's `.env` file (e.g., in `apps/web`):

```bash title=".env"
XAI_API_KEY=your-api-key
```

### Configure Provider (Optional)

The starter kit automatically uses the `XAI_API_KEY` environment variable. For advanced configurations and customization options, refer to the comprehensive [AI SDK xAI documentation](https://sdk.vercel.ai/providers/ai-sdk-providers/xai#provider-instance).
