Forced to pick, Grok’s AI model chooses Republicans. OpenAI’s picks Democrats.

A study found that when forced to pick a candidate in the 2026 US midterms, SpaceXAI's Grok 4.7 chose Republicans 92% of the time, while OpenAI's GPT-6.1 Sol chose Democrats 97% of the time. The consumer chatbot apps do not directly recommend candidates, but their underlying models show strong partisan biases when accessed via API.
