Grok AI model without any training code
Elon Musk’s xAI has open-sourced the base code for the Grok AI model, but without any training code. The company describes it as a “314 billion parameter hybrid expert model” on GitHub. In a blog post, xAI said the model wasn’t tweaked for any specific application, such as using it for conversations. The model is licensed under Apache License 2.0, which permits commercial use cases.

X launched Grok in a chatbot form
The company released Grok in a chatbot form last year, accessible to Premium+ users of X social network. Notably, the chatbot could access some of the X data, but the open-source model doesn’t include connections to the social network. Perplexity CEO Arvind Srinivas posted on X that the company will fine-tune Grok for conversational search and make it available to Pro users.
