Grok, an AI chatbot, is made available to developers and researchers by Musk

New Delhi: The xAI company, led by Elon Musk, has released its AI chatbot Grok to developers and researchers under an open-source licence. The billionaire said last week that Grok would soon be made accessible to developers.

The business announced on its blog that it was “releasing the weights and architecture of our 314 billion parameter Mixture-of-Experts model, Grok-1.” We are making available the network architecture and basic model weights of our big language model, Grok-1. According to the statement, “Grok-1 is a 314 billion parameter Mixture-of-Experts model trained from scratch by xAI.”

This is the unprocessed base model checkpoint from the October 2023 end of the Grok-1 pre-training phase. According to the business, this indicates that the model is not optimised for any particular use case, like conversation.

Github, an open-source development platform, now offers an AI chatbot. Grok was made available in 46 nations last year, including Australia, Canada, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Singapore, in addition to India.

Currently, users of X Premium+, the highest membership tier offered by X, may access the chatbot. The microblogging platform has already granted US Premium+ members access to its Grok AI (beta).
