Elon Musk’s X launched their first AI named Grok-1 based on a314 billion parameter Mixture-of-Experts model, as the publisher explained on ablog post.

How can I get Grok-1?

Before anything, don’t get to excited because the new X model is not yet tuned up for optimal usage.

This is the raw base model checkpoint from the Grok-1 pre-training phase, which concluded in October 2023. This means that the model is not fine-tuned for any specific application, such as dialogue.

Anyway, if you want to get the code and play with it, you can find it on theGrok-1 GitHub page. It is released under theApache 2.0 licenseso you can mod it freely.

However, there is not so much information about Grok-1. The folks from X only disclosed a few hints:

However, interestingly enough, the cover of the post, which we also displayed on top, was created withMidjourneybased on a prompt proposed by Grok:A 3D illustration of a neural network, with transparent nodes and glowing connections, showcasing the varying weights as different thicknesses and colors of the connecting lines.

If you decide on trying the new model, tell us all about it in the comments section below.
