Developed by xAI, Grok is an AI which was designed to compete with OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Grok has been released for some months now, its exclusive only on X and only premium+ users have access to this AI. To know more about the subscription tiers in X (basic, premium and premium+), you can do so by clicking here. So far the AI is known to be effective when responding to users.
In a recent (two days ago) tweet on the platform, the new owner of X, formally known as Twitter, Elon Musk, said Grok is going to be open source this week. The exact tweet reads;
“This week, @xAI will open source Grok”
This comes after Elon Musks’ lawsuit against Sam Altman et al which criticized Open AI for not open sourcing its ChatGPT models. Musk not open sourcing Grok might be seen as a form of hypocrisy because he was suing Altman for something he himself didn’t do.
Now let me talk about what “open source” mean. Open source software are those made freely available to the public. Users can not only view, modify and distribute source code depending on the terms of an open source license. So access to source code and free distribution is what really determines if a software is open source. This license are legal agreements which define terms on how the software/source code can be used, modified and distributed. Different licenses have different requirements and terms depending on its type, and how it was created.
Elon Musk can make Grok open source if he decides to because he is the founder of xAI and he also controls the platform where the AI is used. Unfortunately, he didn’t emphasize on a specific day this week Grok will become open source. This might be because of uncertainty but time will eventually tell.
