Internal docs show xAI paid contractors to "hillclimb" Grok's rank on a coding leaderboard above Anthropic's Claude.

The billionaire has used Trump’s handling of the ‘Epstein files’ issue to repeatedly attack his former ally since their public falling out last month.

One of the new “companions,” or AI characters for users to interact with, is a sexualized blonde anime bot called “Ani."

xAI’s latest frontier model, Grok 4, has been released without industry-standard safety reports, despite the company’s CEO, Elon Musk, being notably vocal about his concerns regarding AI safety. Leading AI labs typically release safety reports known as “system cards” alongside frontier models.

The latest Grok controversy is revealing not for the extremist outputs, but for how it exposes a fundamental dishonesty in AI development.

In a statement, Trump Media’s CEO and Chairman, Devin Nunes, said: “Integrating AI into Truth Social will be a big push forward in our initiative to expand and enhance the platform, further developing the Truth Social ecosphere as a one-stop-shop for reliable information, non-woke news, and entertainment.”

The latest version of Grok for iOS (version 1.1.18) comes with two companions — an anime girl called Ani and a red panda called Rudi.

The Department of Defense is set to begin using Musk's controversial chatbot Grok, according to a Monday announcement.

Grok had been trained in part on X’s own real-time stream of content. Its design prioritized edginess over caution, imitation over understanding, and “free speech” over responsibility. The result was an AI system stripped of guardrails, governance, or ethical logic, tasked with reflecting the tone of the platform rather than evaluating its harm.
