Elon Musk’s Promise Fulfilled: Open Source AI Grok Boosts X’s ChatGPT Rivalry

Grok, an artificial intelligence tool and language model integrated with X, has been officially released as open source today, making it accessible to everyone on GitHub.

In a piece of news we shared last week, we discussed a significant announcement by billionaire businessman Elon Musk. According to Musk, Grok, the AI tool associated with X, was to be open-sourced. This decision was reportedly influenced by Musk’s disagreement with OpenAI, prompting him to advocate for open-source code in AI development.

This latest update marks a pivotal development: Grok, with its 314 billion parameters, is now open source. This allows developers worldwide to utilize the AI for third-party projects. It’s anticipated that this move will have a positive impact on the AI landscape, fostering innovation and collaboration.

Available on GitHub

The Grok team has made an announcement about their decision to open source the artificial intelligence, but they have not provided a detailed explanation on their announcement site. However, they have indicated that the Grok source code will be available on GitHub. Readers interested in accessing the codes can find the link there.

GrokAI is set to become open source this week.

Elon Musk’s advocacy for open source artificial intelligence aligns with his long-standing support for open-source projects. Similarly, many patents from another of Musk’s ventures, Tesla, are open source as well.
