Grokipedia vs Wikipedia: Elon Musk launches AI-powered rival to challenge the world’s encyclopedia, here’s a comparison

Tech mogul Elon Musk has officially launched Grokipedia, a new AI-powered encyclopedia developed by his artificial intelligence company, xAI, positioning it as a rival to Wikipedia, the world’s most widely used reference website. Described as a “truth-seeking knowledge base,” Grokipedia aims to offer faster, more factual and less “politically biased” information, according to the Tesla CEO.

The platform, which went live on Tuesday, is powered by xAI’s conversational model Grok, already integrated into Musk’s social media platform X. As per a Business Insider report, Grokipedia features more than 8,00,000 entries at launch, far fewer than Wikipedia’s six million in English, but xAI says this is only the beginning.

Musk has hinted that the AI engine will continuously expand and said on X that it is the only 0.1 version of Grokipedia. He highlighted, “Version 1.0 will be 10X better, but even at 0.1 it’s better than Wikipedia imo.”
