Summary
Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup, xAI, is set to open source Grok, its chatbot that competes with ChatGPT, amid Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI for veering away from its open-source foundation. Grok, launched for X premium subscribers, features real-time information access and eschews political correctness. Musk's legal action challenges OpenAI's partnership with Microsoft, alleging a deviation from its original commitment to make AI technology widely available and accusing it of becoming a closed-source entity focused on profit. This move sparks broader discussions within the tech community about the value and future of open-source AI research, drawing mixed reactions from notable figures and commentators.
