Elon Musk has announced a major overhaul of X 's recommendation algorithm, revealing that the social media platform will now leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance user experience. In a post on X, Musk, who owns the platform, disclosed that a lightweight version of Grok , the AI chatbot developed by his AI company xAI , will be integrated into the platform’s system.
“The 𝕏 recommendation algorithm is being replaced with a lightweight version of @Grok, so will soon be dramatically better!” Musk said.
“You should notice some improvement already,” he added.
Musk shares why X is bringing this change
The Tesla CEO has also explained why the changes are being introduced.
“Engagement farming and verification impersonation are some issues affecting the quality of the experience on this platform,” a user said.
Musk replied by saying, “You should be seeing significant improvement there.”
The goal is likely providing “smarter, faster, more relevant content with fewer spammy repeats and better post discovery.”
“This isn’t just a tweak—it’s a full neural upgrade for your feed,” Mario Nawal claimed, while sharing Musk’s post.
Previous update: Grok can be summoned on X
In the previous big update, X rolled out a feature that allowed users to directly interact with its AI chatbot, Grok, within post replies. This enhancement significantly expands Grok's presence on the platform, making it readily accessible for contextual information and answers.
When users reply to a post on X, they can simply tag “@grok” followed by their question or prompt. The AI chatbot, developed by Musk's xAI, is designed to understand the context of the original post, even if the user's query is vaguely worded. This allows for quick and relevant responses directly within the conversation thread.
Grok's capabilities extend beyond text as the AI chatbot also possesses image and video understanding, enabling it to answer questions about posts that include media content. This feature became a hit in India with people thronging on X to ask Grok questions from a host of topics.
