Elon Musk’s xAI has open-sourced the base code of Grok AI model, but without any training code. The company described it as the “314 billion parameter Mixture-of-Expert model” on GitHub.
In a blog post, xAI said that the model wasn’t tuned for any particular application such as using it for conversations. The company noted that Grok-1 was trained on a “custom” stack without specifying details. The model is licensed under Apache License 2.0, which permits commercial use cases.
Last week, Musk noted on X that xAI intended to open-source the Grok model this week. The company released Grok in a chatbot form last year, accessible to Premium+ users of X social network. Notably, the chatbot could access some of the X data, but the open-source model doesn’t include connections to the social network.
Many notable companies have open-sourced some of their AI models including Meta’s LLaMa, Mistral, Falcon, and AI2. In February, Google also released two new open models called Gemma2B and Gemma7B.
Some AI-powered tool makers are already talking about using Grok in their solutions. Perplexity CEO Arvind Srinivas posted on X that the company will fine-tune Grok for conversational search and make it available to Pro users.
Musk has been in a legal battle with OpenAI and sued the company earlier this month over the “betrayal” of the nonprofit AI goal. Since then, he has called out OpenAI and Sam Altman on X multiple times.
I’m glad to see that there are some things we can do to help reduce plastic waste. I’m going to start by bringing my own reusable bags when I go shopping.
I wonder if there are any biodegradable alternatives to plastic. That would be a great way to reduce waste.
This is all just a bunch of hot air. Nothing’s going to change.
I’m not sure what’s worse: the plastic waste or the fact that I can’t remember where I put my keys. 😂
I don’t think recycling is enough. We need to find a way to reduce the amount of plastic we produce in the first place.
I’m hopeful that we can find a way to reduce plastic waste. We just need to work together and find solutions.
I’m really glad to see that there are so many people who are concerned about plastic waste. It gives me hope that we can make a difference.
This is all well and good, but it’s not going to solve the problem. We need to stop using so much plastic in the first place.
Here’s a tip: you can use a reusable water bottle instead of buying plastic bottles. It’s a small change, but it can make a big difference.
Oh, yeah, let’s all just stop using plastic. That’s going to be really easy. 🙄
I don’t think we’re ever going to solve the plastic waste problem. It’s too big of a mess.
It’s ironic that we’re talking about reducing plastic waste while we’re all sitting here typing on plastic keyboards. 🤔
Oh, yeah, let’s all just hold hands and sing a song about reducing plastic waste. That’ll solve everything. 🙄
I wonder if there’s anything we can do to reduce the amount of plastic waste we create. I’m not sure if recycling is enough.
I’m not sure what’s worse: the plastic waste or the fact that I can’t remember my own phone number. 😂
