Grok picks Republicans 92% of the time, GPT-6.1 picks Democrats 97%

A Convovo study led by Cornell professor Tapan Parikh found that when forced to name a candidate across nearly 500 races, SpaceXAI's Grok 4.7 recommended the Republican in 92% of answers and OpenAI's GPT-6.1 Sol picked the Democrat in 97%. The models agreed less than 10% of the time, while consumer apps declined to answer.

• Grok 4.7 chose Republicans in 92% of answers, GPT-6.1 Sol chose Democrats in 97%
• The models agreed in fewer than 10% of nearly 500 races
• Grok cited X in 41% of answers; GPT leaned on Wikipedia, AP, Axios and Reddit
• Each Grok API request carried ~1,240 hidden tokens researchers could not remove
