Use xAI (Grok) with DeployHermes
Grok connects two ways: sign in with your xAI account, or paste an xAI API key. Connecting one method replaces the other for this provider.

What you bring
Sign-in: An xAI account, or an xAI API key. Billed by xAI, never marked up by DeployHermes.
Set it up
- Open AI providers in your workspace.
- Under Add a provider, find xAI (Grok) and choose Sign in.
- Open the link we show you in a new tab, sign in, and enter the code when asked.
- Keep the page open. It updates itself the moment you approve.
- Choose each agent's model in Squad. Each connection stays independent, so adding one provider never replaces another.
Note: Your workspace server sleeps when idle. Initial server setup takes about 1 min; sign‑in is available once it is ready. If the code expires before you approve, start again for a new one.
Note: To use a key instead, create one at https://console.x.ai, then under Add a provider find xAI (Grok), choose Add key and paste it. We check it with xAI before saving.
Questions
01Sign in or paste a key for Grok?
Either. Sign-in is the quickest. A key bills an xAI API project directly.

02Who sets the usage limits?
xAI does. Rate limits and consumption are described in its documentation, and they apply to your account, not to DeployHermes.
