Overview
- The v0.1 site is live in English with roughly 885,000 text-heavy articles after a launch that included brief outages and access errors.
- Large portions of content are copied or adapted from Wikipedia with attribution under Creative Commons licensing, underscoring reliance on the project it seeks to rival.
- Independent checks, including Wired’s review, documented right-leaning or extremist narratives and contentious claims in entries on slavery, AIDS and pornography, and transgender topics.
- Pages display a note that Grok has fact-checked the content, yet xAI has not explained the method or sources, and the Wikimedia Foundation says it is still assessing how Grokipedia works.
- The platform currently lacks images and community editing, while Elon Musk claims it is already better than Wikipedia and promises a future v1.0 he says will be “10X better,” despite Grok’s prior antisemitic errors and at least one factual mistake flagged in entries.
