Elon Musk confirms that the Grok AI Chatbot will be made open source this week.
Elon Musk said Monday that his artificial intelligence (AI) startup XAI will open-source its AI chatbot Grok this week. “This week @xAI is open-sourcing Grok,” Musk wrote on X.
The chatbot is currently available to subscribers of X Premium+, X’s highest subscription tier. The microblogging platform has already released access to Grok AI (beta) for Premium+ subscribers in the US.
Last year, XAI expanded Grok into India and 46 other countries, including Australia, Canada, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Singapore.
Musk also said that OpenAI, led by Sam Altman, is a lie when he responded to a comment on the post.
“OpenAI should do the same. If they are ‘open’ then so be it,” the user commented.
To which Musk said, “OpenAI is a lie”.
Recently, a tech billionaire sued the maker of ChatGPT and its CEO, claiming they breached their original AI contractual agreements.
OpenAI then hit back at Musk’s lawsuit, saying that when the company discussed a for-profit structure to advance its mission, “Musk wanted us to merge with Tesla or he wanted full control.”
Musk later said he would drop the lawsuit if OpenAI changed its name to ClosedAI.
