Carl Pei: “Based” Rupam Roy / CoinGape : Elon Musk Slams OpenAI Amid xAI's Open Source Announcement Gary Ng / iPhone in Canada Blog : xAI to Open Source Grok Chatbot, Says Elon Musk Threads: Parker Thompson / @parkert : I can't say I believe Elon has any coherent plan, but open sourcing infrastructure and then selling software around it (open core) or support + professional services is a tried and true business model (Red Hat, Cloudera, etc). This is a category where OS is really attractive to enterprises, and the software is immature so they'll need a lot of support to go that route. Somebody will do that well and make money on top of FB's stuff (most likely), or their own. Christopher Mims / @technicallymims : Facebook can open source Llama because they can make money from it by turning it into products — they don't have to sell access to it the way Google and OpenAI do. But that doesn't seem to be the case with Grok. So what's the strategy here? X: Elon Musk / @elonmusk : This week, @xAI will open source Grok Mark Cuban / @mcuban : No LLM will EVER be bias free or completely objective. I agree with @ylecun. In a world with millions of models. Many branded. Many open sourced. .The market / buyers/users will determine the “bias” and “intelligence they prefer in their use @pmarca #capitalismfindsaway Elon Musk / @elonmusk : @MishaFitton @xai OpenAI is a lie Aravind Srinivas / @aravsrinivas : Putting his money where his mouth is. 🫡 @xdaily : NEWS: Grok will soon be going open source! This comes soon after Elon's lawsuit against Sam Altman et al, which criticized OpenAI for not open sourcing its ChatGPT models. Greg Yang / @thegregyang : Grok belongs to the people @emostaque : General language models are such a race to zero. X will have hundreds of thousands of H100 equivalents over the next few years & like Meta benefit from commoditizing the complement of their competitors through open models. Have firehose of pref data too. Where is your moat. Tanishq Mathew Abraham, Ph.D. / @iscienceluvr : Having a diversity of open-source models is good of course.... But benchmarks suggest it's worse than even a 34B open LLM 🤷♂️ [image] @basedbeffjezos : We are so back.
