Grok chatbot generating gibberish responses for some Grok Lite users on Grok.com
↗
xAI's Grok chatbot has been producing nonsensical text responses for a subset of users on Grok.com, primarily those using Grok Lite.
The glitch highlights reliability concerns with Grok at a time when xAI has experienced significant staff turnover, including the loss of most of its founding team and at least 50 researchers and engineers. The disconnect between the acknowledged glitch and the status page showing no incidents raises questions about xAI's incident reporting practices for engineers depending on the service.

The gibberish bug affects direct queries on Grok.com but not the Grok account on X.com.
Affected users were primarily using Grok Lite and noticed issues as early as Wednesday morning.
xAI acknowledged the issue as a rare temporary generation glitch, but the official status page showed all services operational with no incidents.
