Grok Telegram Bot

Why

Grok 4 in UI is available for a 30EUR/month basis. However if you setup xAI developer account, add billing then you can use Grok 4 via API. In my personal usage API calls have never yet reached the free limit.. So Grok 4 is essentially free.

Usage

• normal messages use grok 4
• messages prepended with fast. use grok 3

Deployment

This is intentionally a 'dumb' systemd unit to just whach on some spare VM :)

1. Copy deploy/init/artifacts/.env.example as deploy/init/artifacts/.env and update values
2. make -C deploy configure-vm
3. make -C deploy release

TODO

Parse mode formatting is still wonky, hard to force Grok to properly format for telegram.
