Elon Musk has unveiled a bold plan to retrain his artificial intelligence chatbot Grok, aiming to create a cleaner, corrected version of human knowledge. Through Grok 3.5, Musk seeks to address what he perceives as ideological bias in mainstream AI systems, setting the stage for a significant shift in how generative AI is trained and deployed.
Grok 3.5: Musk’s Mission to Rewire AI Foundations
In a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), Musk described Grok 3.5 as a tool with “advanced reasoning” capabilities, which he intends to use to overhaul the base of human knowledge.
“We will use Grok 3.5… to rewrite the entire corpus of human knowledge, adding missing information and deleting errors,” he stated.
This retraining effort reflects Musk’s broader campaign against what he labels the “ideological mind virus” — a term he uses to critique what he sees as political or cultural bias in current AI models, particularly ChatGPT.
Synthetic Data and Supercomputing Power
Launched in February 2025, Grok 3 is available via X Premium Plus and the xAI platform. It’s powered by Colossus, xAI’s supercomputer, which was built in less than nine months using Nvidia GPUs and over 100,000 hours of processing time.
Grok is trained primarily on synthetic data, which Musk argues allows the model to reduce hallucinations and enhance factual accuracy. The chatbot
