Grok keeps sending gibberish responses to users
Grok 持续向用户发送乱码回复
An unusual glitch has resulted in xAI’s Grok chatbot speaking gibberish to many users. After asking the model to generate a PDF, one user received the response: “match it without and your they and two for planets can practical and often cheese…” with similar nonsense continuing for several paragraphs. 一个不同寻常的故障导致 xAI 的 Grok 聊天机器人向许多用户输出乱码。在要求模型生成一份 PDF 文件后，一位用户收到了这样的回复：“match it without and your they and two for planets can practical and often cheese……”，随后是长达数段类似的胡言乱语。
Checking source links, another user found a string of links to reinforcement learning research sites. Affected users who spoke to TechCrunch said they were using Grok Lite and noticed the issues as early as Wednesday morning. TechCrunch was unable to reproduce the issue in our own testing, and it is likely affecting only a small subset of users. xAI did not respond to a request for comment. 在检查来源链接时，另一位用户发现了一串指向强化学习研究网站的链接。接受 TechCrunch 采访的受影响用户表示，他们当时正在使用 Grok Lite，并早在周三上午就注意到了这些问题。TechCrunch 在自己的测试中未能复现该问题，这很可能只影响了极少数用户。xAI 未回应置评请求。
Still, the result has been a lot of confused Grok users. The chatbot’s Reddit community has been overwhelmed with complaints. Refreshing the session often restores normal function, but some users reported that the gibberish responses continued even after multiple refreshes. The bug appears to be limited to direct queries on Grok.com. The Grok account on X.com has been unaffected. 尽管如此，这还是让许多 Grok 用户感到困惑。该聊天机器人的 Reddit 社区充斥着投诉。刷新会话通常可以恢复正常功能，但一些用户报告称，即使多次刷新，乱码回复依然存在。该漏洞似乎仅限于 Grok.com 上的直接查询，X.com 上的 Grok 官方账号未受影响。
Responding to unhappy users, the Grok account confirmed the issues on X: “That pure word salad is a rare temporary generation glitch. Official status at https://status.x.ai shows all Grok services fully operational with no incidents. Start a fresh chat or regenerate—it usually clears right away. Sorry about the gibberish,” the account wrote Thursday morning. 针对不满的用户，Grok 官方账号在 X 上确认了这些问题：“那种纯粹的词汇乱炖是一个罕见的临时生成故障。官方状态页面 https://status.x.ai 显示所有 Grok 服务均运行正常，未发生事故。开启新对话或重新生成通常就能立即解决。对于乱码问题我们深表歉意，”该账号在周四上午写道。
xAI has seen significant staff turnover in recent months, losing most of its founding team and at least 50 researchers and engineers, according to a report from The Information in May. The company released its most recent foundation model in July, describing it as “an Opus-class model, but faster, more token-efficient and lower cost.” 据《The Information》5 月份的一篇报道，xAI 近几个月经历了严重的人员流动，失去了大部分创始团队成员以及至少 50 名研究人员和工程师。该公司于 7 月发布了其最新的基础模型，并将其描述为“一款 Opus 级别的模型，但速度更快、Token 使用效率更高且成本更低”。
