Beforehand Grok was solely accessible to X customers paying for the highest tier of Premium, which is a not-exactly-cheap $16 a month (Premium is $8 a month). And whereas some Premium+ users don’t seem too happy to be losing their exclusive access, Grok’s wider rollout appears to be according to Musk’s current resolution to make the chatbot open supply.

It is value noting, after all, that the open supply model of Grok is not the identical Grok that X customers have entry to. The mannequin launched on Github is from an October 2023 “pre-training” section.

Musk has an advanced relationship with AI. He just lately sued OpenAI, an organization he beforehand sat on the board for, arguing that the ChatGPT creators breached contract by not making their product open supply. OpenAI then hit again, publishing emails from Musk that point out he knew in regards to the firm’s plans to cease publicly sharing its work. What a large number.
