Booom!

True to his word, billionaire multi-company leader Elon Musk’s startup xAI today made its first large language model (LLM) Grok open source.

The move, which Musk had previously proclaimed would happen this week, now enables any other entrepreneur, programmer, company, or individual to take Grok’s weights — the strength of connections between the model’s artificial “neurons,” or software modules that allow the model to make decisions and accept inputs and provide outputs in the form of text — and other associated documentation and use a copy of the model for whatever they’d like, including for commercial applications.

Newcomers to the IT field are highly encouraged to tune in to our weekly Techኢት Mini-podcast episode tomorrow at 3 LT. We will be covering fundamental certifications in IT fields(Networking, Web Development, and Software Engineering). Join us as we discuss the educational journey through these paths with our guests😊

Just finished watching Sam Altman's podcast with Lex Fridman. Here are some points covered:

👉They delved into topics like AGI, comparing Gemini and Chat GPT.
👉The discussion touched upon Elon Musk's lawsuit and OpenAI's legal battles.
👉Altman also shared insights about Sora, GPT-5, memory, and privacy concerns.

Furthermore, they explored the concept of open-sourcing.

Additionally, Altman expressed disinterest in replicating Google, citing it as mundane. He highlighted Elon Musk's competitive nature, emphasizing his reluctance to collaborate. Altman also mentioned regretting the choice of OpenAI's name and hinted at the secrecy surrounding the QStar project, forecasting a shift away from traditional coding.
