Elon Musk’s xAI Teams Up With Kalshi to Bring Grok AI to Regulated Prediction Markets
Elon Musk’s AI startup xAI is joining forces with federally regulated prediction market Kalshi to integrate its chatbot, Grok, into real-money event forecasting, the companies announced Thursday.
The partnership will enable Grok to analyze news, economic data, and historical trends in real time, providing valuable insights to Kalshi’s traders. Users on Kalshi’s platform can wager on the outcomes of events such as Federal Reserve interest rate moves, Senate control, and inflation reports, with Grok’s ability to quickly summarize complex information offering a potential trading advantage.
“Kalshi and xAI are partnering to bring Grok to prediction markets. Two of the fastest-growing companies in America are now on the same team,” xAI shared on X.
The collaboration pairs Musk’s latest AI venture—known for its quirky chatbot Grok—with Kalshi, the only U.S.-regulated prediction market that offers tradable event contracts. While specific integration details remain under wraps, earlier reports indicated both companies are dedicating substantial engineering resources to the project.
This announcement adds another layer to Musk’s broader strategy in prediction markets. Earlier this year, xAI and Twitter’s parent company X named Polymarket—an unregulated crypto-based competitor—as their official prediction market partner. With Grok now engaging both Kalshi and Polymarket, the initiative appears to be exploring AI’s role across distinct regulatory environments.
The latest version of Grok, Grok 4, launched earlier this month, brings significant improvements in reasoning and data retrieval capabilities.
