Musk Sets Two-Week Timeline for Grokipedia Beta, an AI-Powered Wikipedia Rival

The project promises AI-written entries with key governance and sourcing rules still unspecified.

Overview

  • Elon Musk said on October 5 that Grokipedia version 0.1 will launch in an early beta within two weeks.
  • xAI is developing the platform to run on Grok, which posts describe as ingesting sources including Wikipedia, classifying claims, and rewriting entries to correct errors and fill gaps.
  • Several outlets report initial beta access will be limited to X Premium users, though xAI has not issued a detailed feature or access announcement.
  • Coverage cites plans to integrate Grok capabilities such as video generation via Grok Imagine and multilingual queries, with specifics and timing not yet confirmed.
  • Reporting notes unanswered questions about who can edit or challenge entries and how sourcing, accuracy, and oversight will be enforced.
