The defence deal proceeds despite an ongoing feud with President Donald Trump and the chatbot’s offensive gaffes.

The Grok chatbot, launched at the end of 2023, which features a large language model, was recently updated to Grok 4. NEW YORK: Elon Musk's xAI, which features a large language model that has spewed Hitler-supporting rhetoric and antisemitic tropes, said Monday it has signed a deal to provide its services to the US department of defence.

The new version of the chatbot, Grok 4, presented on Wednesday, consulted Musk's positions on some questions it was asked before responding, an AFP correspondent saw. The contract between xAI and the department of defence comes even as Musk and President Donald Trump are locked in a bitter feud.
