Elon Musk’s AI company xAI has released the weights and architecture of its large language model Grok-1, per an official blog post on the xAI website on Sunday.
“Grok-1 is a 314 billion parameter Mixture-of-Experts model trained from scratch by xAI. 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,” noted xAI.
The company added that the base model had been trained on a “large amount of text data, not fine-tuned for any particular task” and shared a GitHub link so that others could use the model.
xAI also said that the model was trained in October 2023.
