Elon Musk says xAI will open source its Grok chatbot this week

According to Elon Musk, xAI will open source its Grok chatbot. The founder of the company, whose AI assistant is available to Premium subscribers on X, hasn't revealed any other details about the decision, which is slated to take effect this week. It's hardly the first time a Musk company has opened up access to its knowhow. Tesla open sourced its patents a decade ago, and now practically every major car manufacturer has adopted its electric vehicle charging connector. X, meanwhile, published the code that powers its "For You" algorithmic feed last year, though we didn't learn much from it.
