Kind: policy · Impact: low

## In brief

- SpaceXSI appears to have reversed its plan to automatically watermark text generated by its Grok AI models.
- The change is reflected in SpaceXSI's updated output watermarking documentation, according to The New Stack.
- Text watermarking for the Grok API is now off by default.

## Why it matters

If you build on the Grok API, generated text will not carry a watermark by default, so do not assume provenance markers are present in its output.

## What to do

- Check SpaceXSI's updated output watermarking documentation if your product relies on watermarked text.
