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.

AI explained why Grok 4 seemed to search for Elon Musk's opinions when asked about some hot-button topics.

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.

Grok’s responses must come from ‘independent analysis,’ not Musk’s stated beliefs. xAI has offered a couple more fixes for “issues” with its Grok AI chatbot, promising it will no longer name itself “Hitler” or base its responses on searches for what xAI head Elon Musk has said.

The news comes alongside the U.S. Department of Defense’s announcement of $200 million contracts awarded to xAI, Anthropic, Google and OpenAI for AI implementation.

Makers of the chatbot program Grok apologized for "horrific behavior that many experienced" after users reported multiple antisemitic responses.

From Grok's antisemitic rants to the permit for turbines in Memphis, here's a look at some of the latest news surrounding Elon Musk's xAI.

On Wednesday, Elon Musk discussed a new male AI “companion” that his company xAI is developing, which will run on the company’s unhinged chatbot software Grok. And while it’s not yet clear when this new robot buddy will be released, it sounds an awful lot like Musk is trying to make a romanticized version of himself.
