In order to "fight" OpenAI, Musk established a new company!
The company is called X.AI , and as far as it is concerned, Musk is the sole director of the company.
And "X" is a shell company recently established by Musk. Recently, he has packaged all the companies he owns, such as Twitter, SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, etc., into it.
Now, judging from Musk’s addition of X.AI, he is already in a posture of entering the ChatGPT battle.
DeepMind engineer has been dug
So how far has Musk's X.AI developed?
According to sources, Musk has hired Igor Babuschkin from DeepMind to lead X.AI.
Judging from LinkedIn's resume, Babuschkin has previously worked at both DeepMind and OpenAI.
According to BusinessInsider, in fact, since February, Musk has frequently "closed" with people in the AI field, including Igor Babuschkin.
In addition to Babuschkin, X.AI has recruited about half a dozen engineers.
Not only that, Musk also tried to poach some employees inside OpenAI, but as far as the current results are concerned, the results have been minimal.
And according to sources, Musk will use the "resources" of several companies in his hands for X.AI.
For example, Twitter data can be used for training, and its Tesla (Dojo) can provide computing resources.
Coincidentally, Musk just bought 10,000 high-performance GPUs from Nvidia two days ago.
From the current point of view, it is becoming more and more obvious that Musk entered the game of ChatGPT.
There are also contradictions
However, after the news of the establishment of X.AI came out, many netizens also expressed their puzzlement.
For example, in 2018, Musk withdrew from OpenAI and said unabashedly:
Disagree with their choice - to pursue profit instead of pure R&D.
And often make remarks to attack OpenAI, such as:
How did I donate 100 million US dollars to establish a non-profit organization and become a 30 billion for-profit company? If it's legal, why isn't everyone else doing it?
And there have been anti-OpenAI moves in action.
For example, in the past, OpenAI could use Twitter data for AI training, but on the fifth day after ChatGPT was released, Musk ordered the suspension of this permission.
But now, he has set up another company to fight against him. This "trick" is quite subtle.
Furthermore, in response to the rise of technologies such as ChatGPT not long ago, nearly 10,000 people signed an activity to suspend the development of artificial intelligence, and Musk was also one of the initiators.
However, judging from a recent tweet he mysteriously released, Musk seems to have a new view on AI:
A curious AI might be the best.
The cat might be against it (curiosity killed the cat), but George the Curious Monkey (from the popular primer) is in full support.
As for how X.AI will develop in the future, we will wait and see.
