An “ongoing conversation” around open source.

Live updates from Elon Musk and Sam Altman’s court battle over the future of OpenAI Savitt is bringing up somepreviously released email exchangeswhere Musk appeared okay with discussing what OpenAI would and wouldn’t make open source — including one where he replied “yup” to a comment that it would make sense to start being less open as AI advanced. He asks if Musk has made xAI’s own advanced versions of Grok open source — “No, but it will,” Musk says. Savitt then mentions a letterMusk signed in 2023asking to pause development of giant AI models out of safety concerns. Musk signed the letter shortly before heincorporated his own xAI, and Savitt asks why he didn’t disclose that fact; Musk says it was “just an open, non-binding letter” signed by hundreds of other people.
