Elon Musk has announced that the first beta for Grokipedia, xAI’s answer to platforms such as Wikipedia, will launch in two weeks.
Elon Musk has announced that his AI company, xAI, will launch the early beta for its Wikipedia competitor in two weeks, describing the service as the answer to “falsehoods” and “half-truths.”
Replying to a post about the upcoming AI-powered “Grokipedia,” Musk said via X on Sunday that “version 0.1 early beta” will be rolled out in two weeks.
Musk initially announced xAI was building Grokipedia on Sept. 30, stating on X that it “will be a massive improvement over Wikipedia,” adding that: “frankly, it is a necessary step toward the xAI goal of understanding the Universe.”
Details on the specifics are currently sparse; however, Musk has previously stated that Grokipedia will consist of an “open source knowledge repository.”
It appears that the idea for Grokipedia was brainstormed live during a summit hosted by The All-In Podcast in September. During his appearance, Musk was explaining to the panel that Grok scans a wide range of sources, such as Wikipedia posts, documents, PDFs to verify if the information is true, “partially true,” false or missing details.
