Nobody mentions this from Lex Fridman. https://youtu.be/JN3KPFbWCy8?t=5090
Maybe after he gets the infrastructure needed to fully support all interested subscribers he might consider open sourcing Grok-1, or maybe he might release Grok-1 when he is ready to deploy Grok-2 on X. I doubt 6 month delay for open source following commercial release is an exact mark but it remains possible for Grok to become open at some point.
As of right now access to Grok on X is too limited for us to get any independent benchmarks and attempts to search for Grok on Twitter just flooded with unaffiliated memecoins. Post comparisons between Grok and GPT3.5 or GPT4 are limited and seems subjective to opinion. My observation is Grok can give you serious responses without the “humor” so we should be able to prompt it to not act “humorous”. It’s responses aren’t large as GPT4 but it can be very concise with half or 1/3rd the written content while not lecturing on disclosures.
When it comes to being uncensored. I noticed benchmarks for original and uncensored Llama based models with the uncensored models losing points in logic which suggest that being uncensored or minimally censored from the foundation is better off. The technical details of uncensoring an existing model is beyond my expertise.
So what are thoughts about Grok open sourcing, without turning this into drama. Be civil please.
He open sourced the Twitter algorithm.
Grok-1 is a completed model which isn’t equal to compare to something that’s been in extended development.
And I will say again. He open sourced the Twitter algo.
Seems like the tslaq folks can’t abide factual information that contradicts their narrative. https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm for those who want to hit downvote, he’s right.
That was open-sourced because of some sort of alt-right political reasons.
Disappointing to see this downvoted when its accurate. “Social media being systemically biased” has been a overwhelmingly major talking point in politics over the past… 10 years.
He open sourced ‘put your ads next to the Nazis’? What a giver!
I looked at it, have you? I was excited at first, I thought I was going to learn how “the algorithm” works for me but even as a software engineer with experience in Scala, backend and data engineering, that wasn’t obvious from the code at all.
