After suing OpenAI this month, alleging the company has become too closed, Elon Musk says he will release his truth-seeking answer to ChatGPT, the chatbot Grok, for anyone to download and use...

This week, @xAI will open source Grok, Musk wrote on his social media platform X today..

That suggests his AI company, xAI, will release the full code of Grok and allow anyone to use or alter it..

Having accused his OpenAI cofounders of reneging on a promise to give away the companys artificial intelligence earlier this month, Musk may have felt he had to open source his own chatbot to show that he is committed to that vision...

Although xAI is a much younger, smaller AI project than OpenAI, given Musks considerable resources Grok has the potential to be a very powerful AI model in future..
