Convovo study: When forced to choose, Grok 4.7 and GPT-6.1 Sol show clear partisan leanings
A Convovo study of nearly 500 elections found that when forced to pick between two options via API, SpaceXAI's Grok 4.7 recommended Republican candidates in 92% of responses, while OpenAI's GPT-6.1 Sol recommended Democratic candidates in 97% of responses, with the two agreeing less than 10% of the time. The study also found that Grok frequently cited conservative sources, and that each API request carried roughly 1,240 extra tokens that researchers could neither view nor remove; after disabling web search, GPT's Democratic lean persisted, while Grok's Republican lean disappeared, with Grok declining to choose in 27 of 30 cases. OpenAI responded that the test targeted the developer API and that the prompt explicitly required recommending a candidate, so it does not reflect the ChatGPT consumer experience, where the app would refuse to answer such questions.
