Elon Musk Shows a Little Self-Awareness, Says Grok Is Going Open Source This Week

Elon Musk's startup xAI is set to open-source its chatbot, Grok, allowing anyone to analyze its AI algorithms or create competing products. The announcement comes amid Musk's ongoing feud with OpenAI, which he sued in March, accusing them of betraying their mission to operate as a nonprofit. While Musk did not provide many details about the open-source plan, he has been a long-time advocate of open-source research. This move further strengthens his argument against OpenAI, which he accuses of abandoning its commitment to working transparently.
