Elon Musk’s xAI open-sources base model of Grok

xAI has confirmed the open release of its Grok artificial intelligence (AI) model, detailing the weights and architecture of the system.

Last week, the billionaire announced xAI would open-source Grok at a time when he is embroiled in a bitter legal battle with rival firm OpenAI, which he was previously associated with as a co-founder. An official blog post that accompanied an email to company employees appeared to dismiss the early influence and impact of Musk on Open AI. It was penned collectively by Altman, Greg Brockman, John Schulman, Ilya Sutskever, and Wojciech Zaremba, and detailed how the firm had raised less than $45 million from Musk, despite his pledge to bring in up to $1 billion in funding.
