Grokipedia
Grokipedia is an AI-generated wiki-like online encyclopedia and knowledge base associated with xAI's Grok AI, operated by SpaceX following its acquisition of xAI in February 2026.[1]Launched on October 27, 2025, by xAI—theartificial intelligencecompany founded by Elon Musk—it serves as a competitor to Wikipedia. It features articles on various topics including current events, people, and places. Powered by advanced versions of the Grok AI model, Grokipedia generates and fact-checks articles entirely through AI processes. Initially producing exclusively text-based content without images or multimedia, visual elements including images and infoboxes were introduced in January 2026.[2]Unlike Wikipedia's crowdsourced model, it prohibits direct user modifications, instead allowing requests for changes that Grok reviews, approves, or denies. As of version 0.3, released on 30 September 2026, Grokipedia contains 6,092,140 articles—a publicly displayed total first reached around 10 January 2026 that remained unchanged through a months-long hiatus during which the editorial pipeline and updates halted on April 24, 2026,[3]and resumed between September 28 and September 29, 2026[4]—and 1,205,325 approved edits as of 14 October 2026.[5][6][7][8][9][10]It has been criticized for factual inaccuracies, alleged political biases, and citations to low-credibility sources.[11][12]

Grokipedia
Grokipediais an AI-generated online encyclopedia operated by the American company SpaceXAI, founded by Elon Musk. The site was launched on October 27, 2025. Some entries are generated by Grok, a large language model owned by the same company (SpaceXAI), while others were forked from Wikipedia, with some altered and some used nearly verbatim. Articles cannot be directly edited, though logged-in visitors to the encyclopedia can suggest new articles or corrections via a pop-up form, which are reviewed and approved or declined by Grok, and Grok makes autonomous changes to articles.
