Elon Musk’s Grokipedia Beta Version: Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk announced on Sunday that an early beta version of Grokipedia, a knowledge platform developed by his AI company xAI to rival Wikipedia, will launch in two weeks. Musk shared the update by retweeting a post from X user amXFreeze, who described Grokipedia as the world’s largest and most accurate knowledge source for humans and AI, with no limits on use.
The tweet read, “Grok is using massive amounts of inference compute to look at sources like Wikipedia pages and ask: What’s true, partially true, false, or missing?” The platform will analyse sources such as Wikipedia, identifying false information, correcting half-truths, and adding missing context to its entries, according to the post.
It claimed that Grokipedia will serve as a true knowledge source because it is built solely to uncover and present the truth, free from bias or hidden agendas. The post added that Elon Musk never does anything halfway and always goes to the full extent.
