Elon Musk says all premium subscribers on X will gain access to AI chatbot Grok this week
techcrunch.com/2024/03/26/elon-musk-says-all-premium-subscribers-on-x-will-gain-access-to-ai-chatbot-grok-this-week/
Quick Glance: New Availability of Grok AI Announced for X Premium Subscribers
- Elon Musk has officially announced that Grok, the AI chatbot from Musk's xAI, is now accessible to all X Premium users. Previously, Grok was exclusively available to X Premium+ subscribers.
- In March of this year, xAI took a significant step by releasing Grok as an open-source project. This move enables developers and researchers to leverage the powerful 'weights and architecture' behind xAI's Grok chatbot for their projects at no cost.
- The release of Grok is under the Apache 2.0 license, allowing commercial use. Reports indicate that Grok is now available on GitHub, allowing anyone to freely experiment with the 'raw' basic version of the pre-trained Grok big language models.
- Grok, the 'conversational AI for understanding the universe,' was first introduced to the public at the end of 2023. The Grok chatbot can access real-time X data, which sets it apart from competitors, aiming to establish itself as a more modern and edgy alternative to other chatbots.
Grok-1 chatbot code released – open source or open Pandora's box?: What hasn't been released by Elon Musk's xAI is also of note

Quick Glance: Grok-1 Chatbot Code Released - Open Source or Pandora's Box?
- Elon Musk has released the code behind the xAI chatbot Grok-1, including the network architecture and model weights. The chatbot was released under the Apache 2.0 license and has 314 billion parameters that require hardware with sufficient GPU memory to run.
- Critics have highlighted the relatively sluggish performance in benchmarks compared to other models. Grok-1 has access to real-time data via X.com and differs from other LLMs trained on data with a cutoff point in time.
- Based on The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy model, Grok-1 is intended to answer almost anything and suggest questions. The release coincides with the first anniversary of OpenAI's GPT-4 model launch, while Musk is in legal disputes with former AI colleagues.
- The release of Grok-1's code and weights aims to diverge from OpenAI's proprietary approach. Open-sourcing AI tools has sparked controversy, with concerns about potential abuse and arguments for the benefits of transparency.
