Elon Musk announced that his chatbot competitor "Grok" will be open-sourced this week. Grok, which was previously available only to Premium+ subscribers, was created as a politically neutral and sarcastic alternative to ChatGPT. This move comes shortly after Musk sued OpenAI, alleging that the company had veered away from its mission and become a Microsoft subsidiary. Musk also commented on his post, stating that "OpenAI is a lie."

Elon Musk's AI startup, xAI, will release its chatbot, Grok, as open-source software, following Musk's recent lawsuit against OpenAI, which he claimed had become closed-source and focused on profitability rather than open-source roots. Grok was launched by xAI last year and offers real-time information access. The move to open-source Grok is in line with Musk's support for open-source initiatives, as demonstrated by Tesla's patents being open to use by anyone in good faith. Other companies, including Meta and Mistral, have also recently published their chatbot codes as open source.
