Source code
This repository contains JAX example code for loading and running the Grok-1 open-weights model. The script loads the checkpoint and samples from the model on a test input. Due to the large size of the model (314B parameters), a machine with enough GPU memory is required to test the model with the example code. The implementation of the MoE layer in this repository is not efficient. The implementation was chosen to avoid the need for custom kernels to validate the correctness of the model. The code and associated Grok-1 weights in this release are licensed under the Apache 2.0 license. The license only applies to the source files in this repository and the model weights of Grok-1.

Article
Grok is a generative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by SpaceXAI. It was launched in November 2023 by Elon Musk as an initiative based on the large language model (LLM) of the same name. Grok has apps for iOS and Android and is integrated with the X social network and Tesla's Optimus robot. The chatbot is named after the verb to grok, created by the American science fiction author Robert A. Heinlein to convey a form of deep, intuitive understanding.
The bot has generated various controversial responses, including conspiracy theories, praise of Adolf Hitler, antisemitism, and creating nonconsensual, sexualized images of undressed women and children. It has also referred to Musk's views when asked about controversial topics or difficult decisions. Updates since 2023 have shifted the bot politically rightward to provide conservative responses to user queries.
