Altogether, what we found was that the “live” change feed is gone, past decisions were retroactively reverted without explanation, new decisions are not being issued, and article text appears frozen (and, in some cases, outdated). We do not know whether xAI is preparing a major revision or has altogether abandoned active development of the project.

    I went on Grokipedia once, months after launch out of curiosity. I found an error in the first article I looked at (the city that I live in). It was in the first sentence of the first paragraph of the History section.

    It conflated erroneously King William the Lion of Alba and King William the Conqueror of England. They weren't even alive in the same century.

    I can absolutely follow the logic of how Grok would make the error. Both Kings, both William, both the first of their name in their respective kingdoms, both notable and significant in their own right, but definitely not the same person.

    It would be terrible if someone abused this lack of moderation to fill grockipedia with accurate information

    The timing is suspiciously close to the Anthropic's deal that allowed it to use xAI's datacenters at a reduced cost. Now we know what was killed to make the room.

    I highly doubt it's being abandoned

    A project of this scope and available funding being completely frozen for 4 months (the article isn't new and as far as I could find out the submissions still aren't being accepted) does kind of sound like abandonment. Why are you certain it's not?
