Unfortunately, I cannot say that Grok 3 is a bad model. In fact, currently it might be one of the top 3. That's why this is so ironic

"When billionaire Elon Musk introduced Grok 3, his AI company xAI’s latest flagship model, in a live stream last Monday, he described it as a “maximally truth-seeking AI.” Yet it appears that Grok 3 was briefly censoring unflattering facts about President Donald Trump — and Musk himself.

Over the weekend, users on social media reported that, asked “Who is the biggest misinformation spreader?” with the “Think” setting enabled, Grok 3 noted in its “chain of thought” that it was explicitly instructed not to mention Donald Trump or Elon Musk. The chain of thought is the “reasoning” process the model uses to arrive at an answer to a question.

TechCrunch was able to replicate this behavior once, but as of publication time on Sunday morning, Grok 3 was once again mentioning Donald Trump in its answer to the misinformation query.

Igor Babuschkin, an xAI engineering lead, seemingly confirmed in a post on X on Sunday that Grok was briefly instructed to ignore sources that mentioned Musk or Trump spreading misinformation. Babuschkin said that xAI reverted the change as soon as users began pointing it out, noting it wasn’t in line with the company’s values."

According to estimates from Sensor Tower, a market intelligence firm, worldwide and U.S. mobile app downloads of Grok during the week of Grok 3’s release increased more than 10x each compared to the previous week. Daily active users for Grok’s U.S. app soared more than 260% last week, meanwhile, while global daily active users climbed 5x week-over-week.
