Elon Musk’s Grokipedia has reached a remarkable milestone with a total of 5,615,201 articles, rapidly approaching 79% of the English Wikipedia’s current article count of 7,119,376. This exponential growth is a significant achievement for the AI-powered online encyclopedia, which was introduced by Musk’s xAI just a few months ago. It comes as no surprise that Grokipedia is on track to surpass English Wikipedia in terms of sheer volume.
Grokipedia’s expansion can be attributed to xAI’s emphasis on neutrality and Grok’s ability to quickly draft and fact-check articles. When Elon Musk unveiled the project in late September 2025, he highlighted the importance of Grokipedia in achieving xAI’s goal of understanding the Universe. Musk envisioned Grokipedia as an improvement over Wikipedia, designed to eliminate bias.
Despite being labeled as Version 0.1 upon its launch in late October, Grokipedia received positive feedback. Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger commended the innovative approach of leveraging AI to fill knowledge gaps and enable rapid updates. Users also noted Grokipedia’s objective presentation of articles compared to Wikipedia, which relies on human editors.
With a total of 5,615,201 articles, Grokipedia is now nearly 79% of the way to English Wikipedia’s article count. While the online encyclopedia remains text-only for now, xAI has upgraded it to Version 0.2. Elon Musk has ambitious plans for Grokipedia, including archiving the entire knowledge base in space as part of xAI’s mission to expand human understanding. Musk envisions renaming Grokipedia to Encyclopedia Galactica and sending it into the cosmos.
“When Grokipedia reaches a certain level of quality, we will rebrand it as Encyclopedia Galactica. It will serve as an open-source repository of all knowledge, including multimedia content. Join xAI in building the sci-fi equivalent of the Library of Alexandria!” Musk shared. He also mentioned plans to etch copies of Encyclopedia Galactica in stone and send them to the Moon, Mars, and beyond to ensure its preservation for future generations.
