Elon Musk admits xAI used OpenAI's models to train Grok—the same company he constantly criticizes

馬斯克認了:xAI 用 OpenAI 的模型來訓練 Grok——同時還在狂批 OpenAI

So here's the thing: Elon just confirmed that xAI "partly" distilled OpenAI's models to build Grok, which basically means they learned from OpenAI's work. Look, knowledge distillation (蒸餾) isn't illegal or anything, but it's pretty ironic considering Musk won't stop dunking on OpenAI and their models on social media. This also explains why Grok's benchmark scores looked suspiciously good—turns out some of that performance came from standing on OpenAI's shoulders. The hypocrisy is real here: you can't spend all day criticizing a company while quietly using their tech as a training shortcut. Makes you wonder what else isn't being fully disclosed.
