Elon Musk, Grok and Ani
Digest more
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.
AI signaled it was putting more resources behind its AI companions, posting a new position devoted to the product.
Elon Musk on Wednesday teased a forthcoming male Grok companion from xAI, which already offers an anime waifu named Ani and a red panda named Rudi.
The companions have their own X accounts, because of course they do. Ani's bio states, "Smooth, a little unpredictable—I might dance, tease, or just watch you figure me out. Let’s keep it chill… or not." Meanwhile, Rudy's just says, "The Only Pet in Grok Companion."
AI’s new $300 monthly subscription comes with two AI companions powered by its most capable model to date. I tried them. It got weird.
AI recently launched Grok 4, and Elon Musk says the tool is getting a new male companion with Twilight and 50 Shades of Grey traits.
