Elon Musk is set to open source Grok, a move that comes shortly after his lawsuit against Sam Altman and others, criticizing OpenAI for not making its ChatGPT models open source. The decision to open source Grok has garnered significant attention, with many anticipating that the model to be released will be comparable to GPT 3.5, featuring a transformer architecture. This development is seen as a direct challenge to OpenAI, and there is strong community support for the initiative, with calls for the open-source community to have access to Grok. The anticipation around this move is high, with expectations that it could lead to the release of a model on par with earlier versions of GPT.
