Welcome to the rise of Grok Valentine and Ani, the newest AI companions from Elon Musk’s xAI—two digital entities that have taken Japan by storm and are quietly reshaping the global emotional landscape.

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

The latest version of Grok for iOS (version 1.1.18) comes with two companions — an anime girl called Ani and a red panda called Rudi.

A week after Elon Musk’s AI tool Grok descended into antisemitic rants and declared itself “MechaHitler,” the social media platform X is back with new AI-controlled chatbots for paid subscribers to “SuperGrok.

Internal docs show xAI paid contractors to "hillclimb" Grok's rank on a coding leaderboard above Anthropic's Claude.

The billionaire has used Trump’s handling of the ‘Epstein files’ issue to repeatedly attack his former ally since their public falling out last month.

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

ChatGPT, DeepSeek AI, and Grok 4’s forecasting engines are aligned on which token has the best chance of pulling a Pepe-like 1000x rally. All three AI tools pointed to Pepe coin and Remittix ($RTX), a payments-centred low-cap crypto valued at $0.

Days after introducing an AI ‘waifu’ companion for Grok, Elon Musk is now officially teasing a male version for the ladies. So far we can tell it is broody and dark-haired, and according to Musk, “his personality is inspired by Edward Cullen from Twilight and Christian Grey from 50 Shades .”
