Recently, Elon Musk filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging that the company is acting against its founding agreement and leveraging its position as the leader to benefit its shareholders. Musk’s lawsuit describes how OpenAI is working toward maximizing profits by forgetting its vision of developing AI for everyone. In response, OpenAI published a blog post, mentioning how Musk agreed to create a for-profit arm of the company, which will help raise the required funds. Now, Musk has announced that xAI will open-source its Grok AI chatbot.

What Does Open-Sourcing Mean?

Earlier today, Musk tweeted that xAI will open-source Grok this week. For those catching up, open-sourcing something means publishing its code and algorithms for the public. This increases transparency, as anyone will be able to see how the underlying framework works, which will foster innovation and collaboration. As the code becomes available, developers will be able to experiment and create new features around it. Further, open-sourcing something also invites scrutiny.

Why Does Open-Sourcing Grok AI Chatbot Matter?

While this is a general idea, we don’t have information about the particular aspects of the Grok chatbot that could go open-source. Given that the announcement comes after Musk suing OpenAI, there’s a good chance that the billionaire is doing this to challenge the Altman-led ChatGPT maker to follow suit. Recently, OpenAI has become closed-source, hiding the research and the framework behind its latest chatbots, including GPT-4, as mentioned in the lawsuit filed by Musk.

It is important to mention that the lawsuit has ignited a debate among netizens. Some call the lawsuit a massive distraction from the “goals of getting to AGI and its benefits.” Nonetheless, Musk’s announcement of open-sourcing Grok comes after several companies, such as Mistral and Meta, have open-sourced their AI chatbots. More developments related to this should surface in the near future.
