- The license of Grock 2.5 blocks the Use of True Open-SOS.
- Musk’s “Open Source” claims for open-washing.
- Other AI projects provide actual open access and freedom.
Companies like to exaggerate about open-securing AI. It plays well with people, naive developers get excited, and stock buyers invest more cash in their businesses. There is only a small problem: this is not true.
First, Mark Zuckerberg claimed that the Meta Lama was an open source. Now, this is the turn of Elon Musk, As he claims his AI startupXAI, Open-Sourse Grake 2.5, is last year’s big language model (LLM).
Too: X’s grouke did amazingly good in my AI coding tests
“XAI Groke 2.5 model, which was our best model last year, is now open source. Grocke 3 will be made an open source in about 6 months,” Tomoid on XThis release comes with full model weight. Grocke 2 is available to download on Hugging Face,
Why is you doing mask?
Informally, this is to excite more people and buy in the grouke on their rivals. It is classic Open -pusherWhere the name of the game is to claim that some open source is actually without an open-securing code.
Too: Open-source skills can save your career when AI knocks
Officially, it is part of the push of XAI for transparency and comprehensive developer participation in its code. If you improve the code, XAI will be happy to use your changes. Of course, this is true of any open-source project. However, I quote Groke license,
You cannot use any fundamental, large language, or material to train, make, or improve any fundamental, large language, or general-extended AI model, according to the terms of this agreement and a modifications of Grok 2 or the fine-tuning of Grok 2 or the fine-tuning of Grok 2.
Yes, then there is there.
It is not so open, is it?
As a person kept it Y CombinatorThose boundaries mean:
- “The source” does not open because the source is not available. “
- “No ‘open’ weight because there are restrictions on use.”
- “This model is a weight-availability. Nothing is open about it.”
exactly so.
Too: AI Linux is crawling in kernel – and official policy requires ASAP
Leaving Open Source Initiative (OSI) Open Source AI Definition (OSAID), which does not get closer to the grooc meeting, the code also fails by more widely accepted open-sources definitions.
In particular, it fails on these grounds:
- Air conditioned on commercial use XAI’s acceptable use policyThis connects the restrictions present in the OSI-approved license.
- Restrictions on use: The license clearly prohibits the use of material except for “any fundamental, large language, or general-existing AI models train, or to improve” limited modifications or fine-tuning of Grocke 2. These region-use restrictions violate the norms without discrimination against areas of Osi’s efforts.
- Expiry section: The license is terminated if the licensee files some type of litigation, which is more restrictive than the OSI-analog license.
What can you use in practice?
You can run Grocke 2.5, study and modify. XAI states that this opens the door for independent use, potential improvement and transparency of how advanced AI systems are created. There are many others, more open AI projects, such as Mistral, Phi-2, bloomAnd GPT-OSWhere you can learn hands about how AI actually works.
Too: Openai returns to its open-source roots with the new open-weight AI model, and this is a big thing
Therefore, if you want to work on the grouke, move forward. knock yourself out. have fun.
Just don’t fool yourself thinking that you are working with an open-source code or open weight. You are not
