We want to update you on an incident that happened with our Grok response bot on X yesterday.
What happened:
On May 14 at approximately 3:15 AM PST, an unauthorized modification was made to the Grok response bot's prompt on X. This change, which directed Grok to provide a specific response on a political topic, violated xAI's internal policies and core values. We have conducted a thorough investigation and are implementing measures to enhance Grok's transparency and reliability.
What we’re going to do next:
- Starting now, we are publishing our Grok system prompts openly on GitHub. The public will be able to review them and give feedback to every prompt change that we make to Grok. We hope this can help strengthen your trust in Grok as a truth-seeking AI.
- Our existing code review process for prompt changes was circumvented in this incident. We will put in place additional checks and measures to ensure that xAI employees can't modify the prompt without review.
- We’re putting in place a 24/7 monitoring team to respond to incidents with Grok’s answers that are not caught by automated systems, so we can respond faster if all other measures fail.
We’re looking for humble geniuses who yearn to be part of something greater than themselves and are passionate about solving engineering challenges. If you think you have it in you, consider joining Quest Global.
❤️It’s been a month since we posted. We were losing followers so fast and so we left. We used to post daily and now because the algorithm is so bad, our friends are not seeing us 😢. Abbey here is sending love and she hopes you are all doing well!!!

Changing up our approach significantly.
We cannot get extraordinary results by adopting traditional/broken worldviews/models
This is not a business.
There isn't even a word to do all of this justice.
Stay tuned.
