They will open-source Grok 2 when Grok 3 comes out. Also it seems like it will be paywalled - disappointing considering DeepSeek-R1 is free and open source.
Yeah not sure what profit these guys think they'll be able to squeeze out of these models with open source and free clearly being 95% as good

I didn't know about this. But I asked it if Elon Musk and DOGE randomly firing as many government workers as they can from all federal departments might be dangerous to Americans and it was pretty honest that yeah, it could be.

#93Earlier quoted context omitted.
I have a close friend working in core research teams there. Based on our chats, the secret seems to be (1) massive compute power (2) ridiculous pay to attract top talents from established teams (3) extremelly hard work without big corp bureaucracy.
It was mentioned during the launch that current datacenter requires up to 0.25 gigawatts of power. The datacenter they're currently building will require 1.25 (5x) (for reference, a nuclear powerplant might output about 1 gigawatt). Will be interesting to see if the relationship between power/compute/parameters and performance is exponential, logarithmic or something more linear.

#95Elon just said they are launching an AI game studio. Does this mean they will be building games that are mostly built with AI, or will they make AI tooling available for anyone to build games easily? Probably the former, but it would be nice if they would make it fully available to everyone.
It seemed to me that he was joking.
Re: Grok3 Launch [video]
#96Companies have hijacked the open source concept to mean downloadable blob and we follow them as I see in the comments. It’s a real shame.
Better a downloadable blob than a non-downloadable one
That’s like a chef giving you chicken instead of beef and calling it vegetarian.

#97Will he do what he promised and open source Grok 2 now?

Someone that is not elected gets 8mill/day from the government now overseas the government with some 20-year old fanatics that can’t even put up a secure website for DOGE?

Regardless of which it is, we can assume it'll be here after Tesla's full autopilot that he promised as well as the Mars colonies.
So I take it you mean “imminently”.
Like him or loathe him, he executes, which is more than can be said for most.

#100Grok has gotten to the top of one benchmark: https://x.com/lmarena_ai/status/1891706264800936307 It's been said before but it is great news for consumers that there's so much competition in the LLM space. If it's hard for any one player to get daylight between them & the 2nd best alternative, hopefully that means one monopolistic firm isn't going to be sucking up all the value created by these things
I think it's already clear that these are going to be commoditized and the free / open source versions will be good enough to capture enough of the value that the remaining players will not be Facebook-level monopolies on the space
I quite like the idea of a future where the AI job holocaust largely never happened because license costs ate up most of the innovation benefit. It's just the kind of regressive greed that keeps the world ticking along and wouldn't be surprised if we ended up with something very close to this
