The models, released under an Apache 2.0 license, exemplify OpenAI's commitment to accessible AI innovation.

Elon Musk to open-source AI chatbot Grok this week

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.

Open-source companies are sharing AI free. Can they crack OpenAI’s dominance?

As tech giants like OpenAI dominate the artificial intelligence (AI) market, some companies are trying to compete by offering their AI models for free. Open-source AI models appeal to businesses as they provide access to large language models without the need to pay or share data with proprietary vendors. These companies believe they can generate profit by selling business-grade services and applications on top of their open models and by offering additional features and support that enterprises are willing to pay for. However, open-source AI models still face challenges in terms of initial training costs, licensing, and attracting developers.

Judge disses Star Trek icon Data’s poetry while ruling AI can’t author works

A court ruled that artificial intelligence (AI) systems cannot be credited as authors under current copyright law, which requires human authorship. The case involved Stephen Thaler's AI, "Creativity Machine," which he argued should be recognized as an author. The court disagreed, noting that copyright laws are designed for humans, referencing characteristics machines lack, such as lifespans and intentions. Thaler plans to appeal, arguing his AI is "sentient." The court suggests legislative changes for AI-generated works recognition.
