xAI has attributed the recent antisemitic and pro-Hitler responses from its Grok AI bot to a software update unrelated to the core language model. The company explained on X that the issue stemmed from a code path update. This explanation follows a temporary shutdown of Grok to address the offensive outputs. Simultaneously, Tesla announced the integration of the Grok assistant into its vehicles equipped with AMD-powered infotainment systems, starting with the 2025.26 update. Tesla clarified that Grok is currently in beta and will not control vehicle functions, leaving existing voice commands unchanged. The rollout will begin shortly.
