xAI Grok-1: open base-model weights and reference implementation

Released the Grok-1 base checkpoint and JAX reference implementation with explicit sparse-expert, grouped-KV and tokenizer specifications, enabling public model-level research.

What is recorded here?

Released the Grok-1 base checkpoint and JAX reference implementation with explicit sparse-expert, grouped-KV and tokenizer specifications, enabling public model-level research.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

Open resource/system contribution, not invention of MoE, RoPE or grouped KV. October2023 pretraining differs from March2024 open release; checkpoint is not dialogue-tuned Grok service or later Grok3. Reference MoE implementation expressly prioritizes straightforward correctness over efficiency.

People and systems

Source-listed authors or explicitly credited technical contributors for the cited versions. Family entries retain source-specific attribution; a combined list is not one original-paper byline or equal individual work. Names alone do not establish resolved identities. The recorded author list is incomplete.
