Soon, Elon Musk’s AI startup xAI to make Grok chatbot open source: Details

Elon Musk said on Monday his artificial intelligence startup xAI would open-source its ChatGPT challenger “Grok” this week, days after he sued OpenAI for abandoning its original mission in favor of a for-profit model.

The billionaire has warned on several occasions against the use of technology for profit by big technology companies such as Google. He filed the lawsuit against Microsoft-backed OpenAI, which he co-founded in 2015 but left three years later, last week.

“This week, @xAI will open source Grok,” Musk said in a post on X, the social media firm he owns.
