Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAIhas been working on a new artificial intelligence model for a while. In the first stage, various X Premium offered to users GrokNow free has become accessible. xAI has open-sourced its AI model.
Grok 1.0 becomes open source
In a new blog post, xAI shared that it has published the basic architecture of its 314 billion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts language model Grok-1. The published model represents a release from last October and is not tuned for any specific commands.
This move comes at a time when Elon Musk is advocating open source artificial intelligence models. Musk, who criticized companies such as OpenAI for not being publicly available, filed a lawsuit against the company. The famous billionaire who was involved in founding OpenAI says the company is violating its promise to be open source.
Elon Musk does not stop! This is how he threatened OpenAI
Elon Musk continues to make threats against OpenAI. Musk, who is suing the company, wants its name changed to “ClosedAI”.
By open-sourcing the Grok model under the Apache 2.0 license, xAI allows other researchers and developers to access the model. In this context, you can analyze the 1.0 model, build a new artificial intelligence on it and contribute to the model.
This will also intensify competition between xAI and other companies. OpenAI, Meta and Google, one of the leading companies in the industry, continue to remain silent about Grok.
Initial testing on social media found Grok to lack humor and advanced capabilities compared to competitors like ChatGPT. Time will tell whether offering the basic model as open source will be sufficient on its own.
