Elon Musk-led artificial intelligence (AI) company xAI has officially open-sourced its Grok language model, after Musk announced plans to do so just under a week ago. The Grok account replied to Musk's original announcement of plans to open-source the xAI model with a joke about opening its weights to the public.
Elon Musk released the raw computer code behind his version of an artificial intelligence chatbot on Sunday, an escalation in a battle to control the future of A.I.
Grok is designed to give snarky replies styled after the science-fiction novel 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'
Users who subscribe to X's premium features can ask Grok questions and receive responses

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title implies that Elon Musk has released open source code for his chatbot Grok when in fact he only made it available to subscribers of X's premium features. Secondly, the author quotes Mr. Musk as saying 'Still work to do', implying that there is more transparency and truth-seeking happening with this platform than there actually is.

Fallacies

The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy by stating that Elon Musk is a self-proclaimed proponent of open sourcing. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric when describing the heated debate in the A.I. world over whether doing so could help make the technology safer or simply open it up to misuse.

Bias
(85%)
The article is biased towards Elon Musk's decision to open source the code behind his chatbot Grok. The author uses language that portrays Mr. Musk as a champion of transparency and making technology safer through open sourcing, while also criticizing OpenAI for not doing the same.

Elon Musk-led artificial intelligence (AI) company xAI has officially open-sourced its Grok language model
Musk said last Monday that xAI would make Grok open-source, and on Sunday, the company announced the open release of the language model in a post on its website.
We are releasing the base model weights and network architecture of Grok-1, our large language model
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.
We are releasing the weights and architecture under the Apache 2.0 license.

The article contains several examples of deceptive practices. Firstly, the leaked SpaceX documents show questionable terms related to employee stock options that could be seen as an attempt to limit employees' rights and control their actions. Secondly, Phantom Auto shut down after failing to secure new funding despite being a remote driving startup with potential in autonomous vehicle technology. Lastly, there is no mention of the sources used in the article.

Fallacies
(75%)
The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author uses inflammatory rhetoric when describing the leaked SpaceX documents as showing 'questionable practices related to employee stock options'. This is an example of a slippery slope fallacy, where one event leads to another without any logical connection between them. Additionally, the author uses an appeal to authority by stating that Elon Musk announced that he would open source Grok. However, this does not necessarily mean that Grok will be successful or effective in competing with OpenAI's ChatGPT.
