Elon Musk announced that Grok, an AI model, will be open-sourced this week, sparking significant interest and discussion within the technology and open-source communities. This announcement comes in the wake of Musk's lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI, criticizing them for not open-sourcing their ChatGPT models. The news has led to a more than 60% increase in the price of $GROK. The open-sourcing of Grok is seen as a direct challenge to OpenAI, with many anticipating that the open-sourced model will be comparable to GPT 3.5 with a transformer architecture. The move has been met with enthusiasm from the open-source community, with predictions that it could significantly impact the AI chatbot race.
