Grok Lite users reported receiving nonsensical replies starting Wednesday morning. The issue has affected multiple users of Elon Musk's AI chatbot.
Users of Grok Lite began experiencing problems with the AI chatbot returning garbled and incoherent responses as early as Wednesday morning, according to reports to TechCrunch.
The affected users indicated the issue was specific to Grok Lite, the free tier of Grok. Multiple users documented encounters with gibberish output when interacting with the platform.
The timing and scope of the outage remain unclear. No official statement from xAI, the company behind Grok, has been released regarding the cause or timeline for resolution.
Grok, launched last year as an alternative to ChatGPT and Claude, is integrated into X's premium subscription service. The Lite version was introduced to expand access to the AI tool.
Users experiencing issues have not reported details about specific prompts triggering the gibberish responses, or whether the problem persists across all queries or only certain types of requests.
