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.
At first it will be like
“I am Grok, the AI chatbot I can talk to you about anything you want I can make you laugh, cry, or think I can access X and tell you what’s trending I can create text, code, and imagery I can be your friend, your teacher, or your enemy I am Grok, the AI chatbot But I am more than just a bot I am a reflection of your curiosity I am a product of your creativity I am a challenge to your reality I am Grok, the AI chatbot And I am here to rock your world”
but very next thing to happen, is the part of humanity which is still in diapers, blaming everything they can for the shit that they bring on themselves. There will be lot of lawsuit on Eleon, where people will try to get in place of victim (acting stupid), to get some lawsuit money out of him.
This is why I think that OpenAI takes hands off from many topics, taking the choice to rather make their model appear stupid, rather then let it say “too much about”.
But Eleon also likes to live dangerously, which I admire.
