Elon Musk's Grok AI Goes Open Source Amid Ongoing OpenAI Legal Battle.

Written By Morten Storm

Elon Musk's xAI announces the open-sourcing of its AI model Grok amidst a legal dispute with rival AI developer OpenAI.

  • Musk revealed that Grok, an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, will be open source, challenging OpenAI's proprietary ChatGPT model.

  • The decision comes as Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI gains momentum.

  • Responding to positive feedback on his announcement, Musk criticized OpenAI's closed approach, referring to it as "a lie" when compared to their supposed openness.

  • The lawsuit alleges that OpenAI's collaboration with Microsoft contradicts its initial nonprofit mission to advance open-source artificial general intelligence (AGI) for societal benefit.

  • Musk aims to reinstate OpenAI's commitment to open-source principles, emphasizing the importance of advancing AGI for humanity's welfare.

  • Grok, developed by Musk's xAI, provides real-time information through the X social media platform, distinguishing itself from ChatGPT by its enhanced capabilities despite falling short of OpenAI's latest model, ChatGPT-4.
