Elon Musk has announced plans to make a large part of GrokAI's source code available to the public this week. This move will place GrokAI within the ranks of numerous AI companies that have made their source code accessible for public view and potential duplication. Additionally, Musk has issued a challenge to OpenAI to do the same with their ChatGPT.
In a surprising turn of events that has even caught his detractors off guard, Elon Musk has declared that his AI venture, xAI, will make Grok AI, its chatbot that rivals ChatGPT, open-source later this week. Essentially, this indicates that he will make the source code, or a substantial part of it, publicly accessible and potentially usable for others to incorporate into their own chatbots.
This action follows shortly after Musk lodged a legal complaint against OpenAI. He claimed that the startup, supported by Microsoft, had deviated from its initial open-source values and is now solely concentrating on financial gain.
Last year, xAI launched Grok, providing features like real-time information accessibility. This service is exclusively for X's premium subscribers who pay a monthly fee of $16.
This week, Grok will be open-sourced by @xAI— a tweet from Elon Musk (@elonmusk) dated March 11, 2024
This week, Grok is going to be made open source by @xAI.
Musk was among the initial supporters of OpenAI. He put his money in Sam Altman's venture nearly ten years back, with the aspiration that OpenAI would persist in challenging the dominance that Google had established.
Musk asserts that OpenAI has deviated from its promise to openly distribute its technology to the public, instead becoming a proprietary system and concentrating on increasing Microsoft's profits.
The litigation has ignited a discussion among tech experts and financiers regarding the significance of open-source Artificial Intelligence. Vinod Khosla, who was one of the initial backers of OpenAI, disapproved of Musk's lawsuit, calling it a "huge diversion" from the objective of realizing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and its advantages.
Marc Andreessen, the co-founder of Andreessen Horowitz, retaliated by suggesting that Khosla was promoting opposition to open-source AI research.
Andreessen contended that every major technological leap is accompanied by inflated apprehensions, emphasizing the importance of open-source AI for progress. His company, a16z, has backed Mistral, a chatbot that utilizes open-source technology.
The news that xAI is about to make Grok open-source puts it in the expanding roster of businesses, like Meta and the French firm Mistral, which have shared their chatbot codes with everyone. This move also links Grok to a number of Elon Musk's initiatives that have transitioned to open-source.
Elon Musk has consistently advocated for open-source movements. A significant number of patents at Tesla have been made accessible to the public. Furthermore, X too has made strides in making some of its algorithms open-source in the previous year.
