Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup, XAI, is associated with the regulated Kalshi prediction market to bring her chatbot grok into the world of forecasts for real money events, companies announced on Thursday.
Collaboration will allow Grok to analyze the news, historical data and real-time economic indicators to support negotiation users on the platform regulated by the Federal Government of Kalshi. Kalshi merchants can place bets on specific events of events such as interest rate decisions of the federal reserve, senate control or monthly inflation figures – which makes Grok ‘ability to quickly summarize information from a potential advantage.
“Kalshi and Xai join forces to bring Grok to the prediction markets. Two of the fastest growth companies in America are now in the same team,” XAI said in an article on X.
The agreement brings together the last company of Musk’s AI, known for its irreverent Grok chatbot, and Kalshi, the only prediction market regulated by the United States which offers negotiable event contracts. Although the details of how Grok will be integrated were not disclosed, Bloomberg previously reported (then retracted) in May that the two companies commit “important engineering resources” in the project.
The announcement also adds complexity to the wider prediction market strategy of XAI and Musk.
Earlier this year, XAI and X appointed Polymarket – an unregulated competitor in Kalshi cryptography – as an official partner of the prediction market. Now, with Kalshi and Polymarket effectively operating in parallel under Musk’s orbit, the market seems to be a test field for Grok’s AI capabilities in different regulatory executives.
The most recent version of Grok, Grok 4, was unveiled earlier this month, promising major upgrades in reasoning and recovery of information.
