⚖️Musk says xAI “partly” used OpenAI models to train Grok In a courtroom twist, Elon Musk acknowledged that his AI company may have leaned on rivals more than expected. What happened: • During questioning, Musk was asked if xAI used distillation from OpenAI models to train Grok • He first called it “common industry practice” • When pushed for a clear answer, he said: “Partly” Why this matters: • “Distillation” = using outputs from stronger models to train another system • It’s widely used but legally sensitive depending on how it’s done • The details (data sources, permissions, methods) are what decide if it’s okay In the AI race, everyone borrows ideas but the line between inspiration and infringement is getting very thin.
