Musk said Monday he would make his own chatbot, Grok, open source. "The goal is not to abandon open source," she said. "This technology is revolutionary and we have to be transparent -- we must enable people to look under the hood and it's open source that allows this." Mistral AI was founded in April 2023 by three French engineers who had previously worked at Facebook parent company Meta and Google.
