xAI will, starting November 7 by default add invisible watermarks to Grok API text outputs
PANews November 1 reported, citing xAI official documentation, that it plans to, starting November 7 by default add invisible watermarks to the text outputs of Grok 4.7、4.6 and other models,API covering ordinary text, structured outputs, and tool-call parameters. The watermark is used to identify model-generated content and applies to global and regional API endpoints; team administrators can disable this feature by model.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
An invisible watermark is a marker that users typically cannot see but that can be used to identify model-generated content. This plan covers multiple types of Grok API text outputs.
Why it matters to readers
Teams using Grok API need to pay attention to the default settings and how to disable watermarks by model.
If you generate text through Grok API the output may by default contain an invisible watermark used to identify model-generated content.
Risks and unknowns
The evidence does not directly provide the xAI original official documentation, but rather a paraphrase by PANews.
The current evidence can only confirm that this is a plan; it cannot confirm whether November 7 will go live as planned.
The specific configuration method for team administrators to disable watermarks is not stated.
