Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup, xAI, has made its large language model, Grok, open source, allowing entrepreneurs, programmers, or companies to use the model for their own purposes — but with an alteration.
What Happened: In a blog post on Sunday, xAI announced that Grok’s weights and network architecture are now available for anyone to use for their own applications, including commercial ones.
“We are releasing the base model weights and network architecture of Grok-1, our large language model,” the company stated, adding, “Grok-1 is a 314 billion parameter Mixture-of-Experts model trained from scratch by xAI.”
Grok was open-sourced under Apache License 2.0, allowing commercial use, modifications, and distribution. However, it cannot be trademarked, and users do not receive liability or warranty.
The code for Grok can be downloaded from its Github page or via a torrent link.
