The source and model of the Grok AI have been leaked in a 318 Gigabyte torrent. This is a massive download and would be worth investigating. If you have 6 Nvidia 4090 GPUs, you could even run this as well. Maybe 5 Nvidia A100 Tensor Core GPU units with 80 Gigabytes of VRAM would be better.
Calling all data hoarders and AI enthusiasts: xAI has unleashed a torrent containing the innards of their latest project, Grok-1! This bad boy is a 314 billion parameter Mixture-of-Experts model, and for those keeping score at home, that translates to a hefty 300GB download.
Here’s the gist: Grok-1 is fresh out of the oven, trained from scratch in just three months by the young upstarts at xAI (founded by everyone’s favourite billionaire, Elon). While you can grab the weights and architecture, don’t expect the full recipe – unlike some other open-source projects (cough, Pythia, Bloom, OLMo, cough), xAI isn’t giving away the training code or datasets just yet.
Still, this is a big deal for xAI, who launched last year with their paid Grok chatbot on X (formerly Twitter). Anyone with a beefy enough rig (BYOB-GPU, folks) can tinker with the underlying tech. The question on everyone’s mind: will this open-sourcing arms race lead to a new era of super-intelligent AI, or is it just a data download arms race for those with bottomless internet plans? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: the AI game just got much more interesting.
Look in the @grok bio on Twitter for the torrent link. This is a massive download with 773 files.
