Matt Wolfe comments that the Grok language model is often left out of mainstream LLM conversations despite having an open-source model that anyone can access. He notes Grok may soon release a model comparable to GPT-4 and available to Twitter users, and observes perceptions that Grok is (or is believed to be) less capable than top models.
I was just going to really quickly make a comment about how we've talked about all these large language models from Google, from OpenAI, from Anthropic, from all of these places, and GROK didn't come up once until just now when Nathan mentioned it. Grok has an open source model that anybody can use if they want. I mean, I don't know if most people could run it on their computers with the size of it, but anybody can access it however they want. And supposedly he's about to drop a model that is as good as GPT4 that is going to be widely available to users of Twitter. So it's just kind of interesting to me how much Grok gets sort of left out of the conversation when it comes to large language models. Well, it's just not as capable as far as I understand it, right.
