"Is AI just better software? Or something completely different that requires a new paradigm to understand? Today we sit down with Bret Taylor and Clay Bavor, two of the best product builders in the world to tackle that question. Bret and Clay are the co-founders of the AI company Sierra.
Brett's resume reads like a greatest hits of Silicon Valley: co-creator of Google Maps, founder of FriendFeed (acquired by Facebook where he became CTO), founder of Quip (acquired by Salesforce where he became co-CEO), former Chairman of the Board at Twitter, and current Chairman of the Board at OpenAI. Clay spent 18+ years at Google, starting as an APM alongside Brett and eventually running product for Gmail, Drive, Docs (all of Google Workspace), Google Labs, and the company's AR/VR efforts."
Apparently there are 3 types of information sources:
1. original: like court records, birth certificates, receipts etc. 2. secondary from "reliable" sources, like "credible" research journalist 3. other, "unreliable" sources
And for public web info site, like Wikipedia, 2 is optimal source!?
Grokipedia is an AI-generated online encyclopedia operated by the American company xAI. The site was launched on October 27, 2025. Its entries are largely generated by Grok, a large language model owned by the same company. The rest of the entries have been forked from Wikipedia, with some copied nearly verbatim.
Mark Kretschmann on X: "Grokipedia official logo has been revealed by @xAI The logo is an elegant fusion of the Grok logo with a stylized globe. Easily recognizable and clean. The launch of Grokipedia is expected for end of this week. Do you like the Grokipedia logo? https://t.co/icdVouCZCF" / X
The central tenet of Wikipedia's core sourcing policy is verifiability, not truth. This principle emphasizes that content must be attributable to a reliable, published source, rather than an editor's personal conviction of its truth or accuracy.
Key Distinctions
Verifiability: This is the minimum requirement (threshold) for material to be included in a Wikipedia article. It means a reader or editor must be able to check that the information has already been published by a reliable source (e.g., academic journals, reputable news organizations, books from university presses). Editors must provide citations for material that is challenged or likely to be challenged.
Truth: Editors are not "truth-finders" or tasked with determining absolute truth. The policy acknowledges that what is perceived as "true" can be subjective or a matter of ongoing debate. Even if an editor is certain something is true or has personal experience of it, it cannot be added without a published, reliable source.
Grokipedia API
is available, but it is primarily accessed through the general xAI API using the Grok models, or via third-party web scraping services. There is no standalone, dedicated "Grokipedia API" in the way Wikipedia has a public API.
Accessing Grokipedia Content
You have a few options for programmatic access to Grokipedia content:
xAI API: This is the primary, official method. You can use the xAI API to programmatically prompt the Grok models (e.g., grok-4) to search and summarize content from Grokipedia. This requires an xAI account and potentially a paid subscription, although a free tier with daily limits may be available.
Third-Party Scrapers: Services like Apify offer dedicated "Grokipedia Scrapers" that provide an API for extracting structured data like articles, citations, and summaries. These are separate services with their own pricing and API tokens.
Open-Source Libraries: Developers have created Python clients like grokipedia-api to access content, often by leveraging the methods mentioned above.
Enterprise Solutions: For large-scale or specific enterprise needs, xAI also offers custom enterprise API access and integration.
The content is generated by xAI's Grok AI models. For official documentation and details on accessing the xAI API, visit the xAI Developer Documentation.
