AI owner Elon Musk made some big claims about Grok’s capability, saying it was “better than PhD level in every subject.”

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

Elon Musk says his AI startup xAI is working on a new application focused on child-safe content, to be called ‘Baby Grok’. The Tesla CEO made the announcement via a post on X but offered no further details on a release date or features.

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

This marks a shift in the AI wars. Instead of just competing on intelligence or reasoning, Musk wants Grok to feel more personal, more addictive, and more human, or at least more fun. But the reactions online show that people are split. SuperGrok now has two new companions for you, say hello to Ani and Rudy! pic.twitter.com/SRrV6T0MGT

The tech billionaire’s artificial intelligence offshoot xAI debuted the new features, allow users to interact with animated characters, on Monday

SpaceX has agreed to invest $2 billion in Elon Musk 's artificial intelligence company xAI. The investment makes up nearly half of the company's recent $5 billion equity round, according to investors cited by The Wall Street Journal.
