Elon Musk's xAI Company Releases Open-source Fine-tuning Model Grok AI with 314 Billion Parameters

Elon Musk's company xAI has decided to release Grok AI as an open-source project. This version of Grok is a fine-tuning model, meaning it is not optimized for any specific application.

According to xAI, the model boasts an impressive 314 billion parameters and utilizes a mixture-of-expert design. For those interested, Grok 1 can be accessed on GitHub.

In line with Musk's vision of openness and collaboration, the weights of the model can be downloaded via a torrent client using a Magnet link.

Musk has long championed the idea of open-sourcing Grok AI, believing that sharing such technology is beneficial for all companies. The release is governed by the Apache 2.0 model, allowing for commercial applications to be built upon it.

Originally available to X's (formerly Twitter) paying customers, Grok is designed to be a versatile language model with minimal restrictions on its output.
