“We release the base model weights and network architecture. Grok-1our large-scale language model,” Musk said. xAI it said on its website on Sunday (March 17). “Grok-1 is his 314 billion parameter expert mixture model trained from scratch by xAI.”
the billionaire had announced last week He intended to deploy an open source version of Grok, an AI chatbot. Introduced in 2023.
This followed Musk filing a lawsuit against artificial intelligence giant OpenAI, which he helped found, accusing the company. deviate from the mission Rather than pursuing profit, our goal is to devise AI that helps humanity.
Musk was one of the founders of OpenAI when it was created nine years ago, but stepped down from the company’s board in 2018.
“To this day, OpenAI, Inc.’s website continues to proclaim that its charter is to ensure that AGI ‘benefits all humanity,'” his complaint states. ing. “But in reality, OpenAI, Inc. has turned into a closed-source de facto subsidiary of Microsoft, the world’s largest technology company.”
OpenAI announced earlier this month that it would ask the judge to: Ditch the mask suit.writes on its blog that it remains committed to its mission of “securing AGI.” [artificial general intelligence] It benefits all humanity. ”
In its post, OpenAI acknowledged that building AGI would require “much more resources than we originally imagined,” and the company and Musk announced in 2017 that in order to obtain those resources, He said he agreed that a for-profit organization was needed.
Meanwhile, some legal experts say Musk could face an uphill battle. In an interview with PYMNTS earlier this month, attorney Seth Kugler of the Cupertino, Calif.-based law firm Guleras Shah argued: difficult to prove in court OpenAI licensed GPT-4 and kept elements of its own, likely abandoning its original mission.
“To prove this is a breach, Mr. Musk has to show that GPT-4 is artificial general intelligence,” said Kugler, who focuses on AI and corporate governance.
“AGI is artificial intelligence that can perform any task as well or better than a human,” he added. “It can therefore learn itself to perform new tasks independently of its original training. It is essentially a complete replacement for advanced human intelligence.”
