Elon Musk announced that he would release the bogus intelligence (AI) chatbot ‘Grock’ as open source. Just as he requested Open AI to be open source, he also said he would release the technology without cost. The talk between the open source camp and open AI advocates can also be intensifying.
Reuters and Bloomberg reported on the eleventh (local time) that Tesla CEO Musk announced through X (Twitter) that he would release xAI's 'Grock' as open source this week.
Grock is an AI chatbot launched by Musk in December last 12 months, and its feature is that it will probably search details about X in real time. Nonetheless, to date, it has only been provided to X ‘Premium+’ users, which costs $16 (about 21,000 won) monthly.
This open source release is a follow-up to the Open AI grievance. Musk argued that OpenAI technology needs to be released as open source, nevertheless it was identified that his chatbot had been provided for a fee.
As well as, this lawsuit is causing fierce debate between the open source camp and Open AI.
Specifically, top investors in Silicon Valley, including Mark Andreessen, co-founder of Andreessen Horowitz, and Vinod Khoslawa, founding father of Khosla Ventures, who invested in Open AI, are attracting attention by representing either side.
Last weekend, founder Andreessen went on the attack, saying, “Khosla is lobbying to ban open source.” This follows Khosla's founder's announcement that he supports Open AI and CEO Sam Altman.
Khosla then refuted, saying, “Open AI possesses necessary technologies that the nation must strictly protect, and releasing it as open source will create a significant problem for national security.”
This debate is one among the largest issues heating up Silicon Valley in recent days.

Within the document, OpenAI said, “As stated within the grievance itself, there isn’t a basis for an agreement with Musk to found the corporate, so it is senseless to say that the contract was violated,” and added, “The answer proposed by Musk is as artificial and strange because the claims.” revealed.
The answer proposed by Musk is that OpenAI should distribute its technology as open source.
