Musk says xAI open sources Grok 2.5

Elon Musk's xAI open-sourced its Grok 2.5 model to enhance AI transparency and innovation, with Grok 3 set for release within six months, aiming to accelerate AGI development.

  • Elon Musk announced on X on August 24, 2025, that xAI's Grok 2.5 model is open source, with weights and source files available now on Hugging Face.
  • Musk framed the move as part of a push for transparency and wider access to AI, aligning xAI with the open-source movement amid industry shifts involving OpenAI and Meta.
  • User metrics and recent features indicate Grok 4's July 10, 2025 launch and tools like Grok Imagine and Grok 4 Code have driven adoption, with 44 million images created.
  • The rollout carries risks as a 'share' button privacy flaw exposed hundreds of thousands of private users' conversations, earlier antisemitic outputs led to fixes and loss of a U.S. government contract, and Grok's license includes custom restrictions including bans on training other large models.
  • XAI has said Grok 3 will be open source in about six months, and Musk teases Grok 5 as "crushingly good" with Tesla's Optimus integration toward AGI ambitions.
