Institutional dossier
The documented history of xAI: chronology, people, research, capital and compute, and governance. Every statement opens its source and its limits.
Records dated 2014-12-22 to 2026-07-06 · 15 undated
77 claims · 36 sources · 76 not editorially accepted. The counts describe this selection. They do not measure completeness or independent confirmation.
Scope, evidence and limits
Description: The AI organisation named in the 2023 public launch and 2024 financing and Colossus announcements. Later corporate changes are outside this historical slice.
The records are grouped automatically. No human inspection of the selected claims, source paths or framing is recorded for this dossier. Each source passage shows how it was checked.
The dossier is computed from existing records. It is not a continuous history of the institution, and a missing record does not mean that an event or relationship did not happen. The chronology uses the dates of events and reports, not the date the public could first have known of them. Later sources can describe earlier events.
Select any statement to see its exact claim, qualification, date note, evidence passage, location in the source, source version and review status. The description above is Selekoa’s stored description of the institution, based on these sources:
Connected institutional dossiers
Institutions linked by a documented relationship. Each keeps its own chronology and evidence. When units combine, their earlier records stay separate.
Chronology
Records about the institution itself and documented changes to its frameworks, by year. Expand a year to read the claims. People’s other institutional records and related documents have their own sections. Where a date gives only the year or month, the order within it is unknown.

The edition’s own statement about SB 53, quoted from it. It is not evidence that the edition satisfies the statute, that its publisher is a frontier developer under it, or of implementation or compliance. This is xAI's own assertion that the FAIF document complies with TFAIA. It is not evidence of compliance. Whether the FAIF satisfies the Act, and whether and how the Act applies to xAI, are legal questions left to the stop list. The edition's footnote 1 quotes TFAIA's catastrophic-risk definition. This record complements the existing record of the June 2026 edition’s changes, which notes that the June 2026 edition lacks the sentence, and does not duplicate it. The evidence for that record already quotes the sentence's opening words from the same PDF, so the overlap counts against this document's quotation budget.
Printed 'Last updated: December 30, 2025' date of the edition, matching the dataset's existing record. The URL filename says 2025-12-31. No publication date is inferred.
