Press release from: King Newswire

Valencia, Spain, 21st Jan 2026 - Solanum (also referred to as Grok Potato) is a live, continuous experiment in autonomous plant cultivation designed to test whether an AI system can responsibly manage a living biological process over time.

The project places Grok in full control of an indoor grow environment, where it observes the plant through a live camera feed and receives environmental data such as temperature and humidity. Based on this real time input, Grok evaluates plant condition, determines whether intervention is required, and issues command to a Raspberry Pi that directly controls grow lights and irrigation hardware. Once activated, the system operates without human intervention or scheduled overrides, forming a closed loop feedback system in which observation, decision making, and physical action are handled autonomously.

The experiment is intentionally simple focused on a potato (Solanum tuberosum), a resilient and well studied crop often used in space agriculture research to make system behavior and outcomes easy to observe and evaluate. All activity runs 24/7, allowing continuous monitoring of how the AI responds to changing conditions, early growth signals, and periods where restraint is preferable to action. Solanum is not a simulation or advisory tool, but a real-world test of AI autonomy at the intersection of software, hardware, and biology.
