Elon Musk’s xAI startup has launched Grokipedia, a new open-source encyclopedia powered by the company’s Grok chatbot.
Musk previously criticized Wikipedia for being too “biased.” The current version 0.1 of Grok has 885,279 articles and Musk claims it is already better than Wikipedia, with version 1.0 expected to be “10x better.”
The goal of Grok and Grokipedia.com is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. We will never be perfect, but we shall nonetheless strive towards that goal.
When asked about the key difference between Grokipedia and Wikipedia, xAI’s Grok chatbot responded: Grokipedia uses Grok to synthesize knowledge from diverse sources, prioritizing maximum truth-seeking over consensus-driven editing.
