Elon Musk Announces Grokipedia Beta Version 0.1: 5 Key Things to Expect From Wikipedia Alternative

xAI’s Grokipedia beta will offer a free, AI-driven encyclopedia aiming to improve accuracy and transparency with community input, launching two weeks after early October 2025.

  • On October 5, 2025, Elon Musk announced on X that `Version 0.1 early beta of Grokipedia will be published in 2 weeks`, with multiple outlets reporting the timeline.
  • Longstanding critiques of Wikipedia prompted Musk to launch xAI and Grok as an AI alternative, with Grok's source code opened in March 2024 to support this effort.
  • Built on Grok, Grokipedia will use generative AI to generate and update entries in real time, analysing sources like Wikipedia to flag falsehoods, correct half-truths, and add missing context.
  • The announcement immediately sparked debate as journalists and technologists raised concerns about governance and content oversight, while critics warn Grokipedia risks amplifying misinformation without strict editorial controls.
  • Looking ahead, insiders say Grokipedia could debut in beta within the next year while xAI targets a $200 billion valuation, and Musk’s October 2 $500 billion net‑worth milestone underscores his influence.
