On February 29, Mr. Musk filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, claiming that OpenAI violated the agreement when it was a nonprofit organization. He claimed that OpenAI's partnership with Microsoft violated the fundamental principle of the nonprofit agreement, which is to promote open source AGI for the benefit of humanity.
Microsoft has reportedly invested about $3 billion in OpenAI through the end of 2023.
In the lawsuit, Mr. Musk urged OpenAI to return to its original open source principles and asked that the commercial use of #AGI technology be banned. A few days later, however, OpenAI executives issued a joint statement saying that the emails sent by Musk were aimed at transforming the company into a for-profit organization.
After the lawsuit was filed, OpenAI reinstated CEO Sam Altman to the board after he was fired in November 2023. At the time, they didn't realize how "destabilizing" his departure would be for the company.
Musk's decision to open source Grok is in line with his demand in his lawsuit against OpenAI to promote open source AGI "for the benefit of humanity.
Like OpenAI's ChatGPT bot, Grok is an artificial intelligence chatbot developed by Musk's company #xAI . Unlike ChatGPT, however, Grok accesses real-time information through social media platforms and provides answers to more pressing questions that many other artificial intelligence systems cannot answer.
To access the chatbot, users need an authenticated X account. According to some comparisons, Grok #AI with the Grok-1 Large Language Model (LLM) outperforms ChatGPT-3.5, but not ChatGPT-4.
