AI explained why Grok 4 seemed to search for Elon Musk's opinions when asked about some hot-button topics.

Ani has been dubbed a supersensual waifu by users, while Bad Rudy is already making waves for cussing through the conversations. Musk remarked that enabling companion settings will be made easier in the coming days as the devs are currently making “sure things are stable and working well.”

Elon Musk’s company xAI apologized after Grok posted hate speech and extremist content, blaming a code update and pledging new safeguards to prevent future incidents.

The Pentagon is set to spend nearly a billion dollars for AI with four major Silicon Valley tech firms, Google, xAI, OpenAI and Anthropic.

AI chatbot Grok, produced by Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI, issued an apology after it made numerous antisemitic posts on X following an update.

The tech billionaire unveiled its latest version, Grok 4, which he claims is "smarter than almost all graduate students, in all disciplines, simultaneously."
