Grok is an AI model designed to give 'slightly witty and sassy responses', a nod to the science fiction novel ' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.' It has been stated that training may be performed using data from the SNS 'X (formerly Twitter)' owned by Mr. Mask, and paid members of X were able to use Grok ahead of time.

Regarding Grok, Mr. Mask said on March 11, 2024, ``This week, we will open source it.''

There are indications that the Grok is more powerful than competing models. Grok has 314 billion 'parameters' which are said to have higher performance the more they have, which is far ahead of open source competitors such as Meta's Llama 2 (70 billion) and Mistral 8x7B (46.7 billion). is.

On the other hand, OpenAI's GPT-4, which is leading the AI race, is said to have over 1 trillion parameters, but it has not been officially released and is not open source. Initially, OpenAI was developing towards the goal of ``making AI an open entity'' as the company name suggests, but later they decided that they needed to take responsibility for the risks of AI and changed their datasets, training methods, etc. It is not made public .

In response to the policy change that overturned his philosophy, Mr. Musk, who made an initial investment in OpenAI, said, ``OpenAI transitioned from a non-profit company to a for-profit company, and became like a subsidiary after receiving a large investment from Microsoft.'' 'Important technologies like AI should not be controlled solely by tech giants like Google and Microsoft.' We filed a lawsuit to reinstate OpenAI, which despite its name has become a closed company.
