Grokipedia is an artificial intelligence (AI) encyclopedia launched by Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Inc.


Musk unveiled the first version of the encyclopedia, Grokipedia v0.1, which is powered by the 'Grok' AI model developed by his AI company xAI.


The Grokipedia website features a dark-themed interface with a search bar and claims to have catalogued over 880,000 articles.


Musk has repeatedly criticized Wikipedia, the open-source online encyclopedia, for what he describes as left-leaning bias, emphasizing the need for an alternative that provides "accurate" explanations.


While Grokipedia closely follows Wikipedia's style, it presents markedly different perspectives in some entries.


For example, on the topic of "gender," Grokipedia defines it as "the classification of humans into a male or female binary based on biological sex."


In contrast, Wikipedia describes gender as "a range of social, psychological, cultural, and behavioral characteristics pertaining to being male (or boy), female (or girl), or a third gender."


Musk stated, "This is only version 0.1, but version 1.0 will be ten times better."


Nevertheless, Musk asserted that the current version already surpasses Wikipedia.
