What is xAI?
xAI is different from the marketplaces on this list: it is an AI lab that hires its own AI Tutors directly. The roles are temporary and cover a range of subjects and languages.
Listed pay sits in a narrow band, with a median of $35 an hour and a top listed rate of $50. Every role names the countries it is open to: all 20 list Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States, and four also list India.
How much does xAI pay?
| Open roles | 20 |
|---|---|
| Median listed rate | $35/hr |
| Top listed rate | $50/hr |
| Roles with an hourly rate | 20 |
| How it pays | Hourly, as a temporary employee or contractor. |
The median is the midpoint of the listed pay ranges across the 20 roles that state an hourly rate. Listed pay is what xAI advertises for a role. It is not a promise of hours or earnings, and most of this work is contract work that can pause or end.
