Possibility of Open Sourcing Grok-2 Mini?
I really appreciate that you open sourced the full Grok-2, but would it be possible for xAI to open source Grok-2 mini as well? The smaller version would be much more accessible to the open source community because of the prohibitively large hardware requirements to run Grok-2 for most hobbyists.
Finally a normal forum request

This is a fantastic request. I like what xAI is doing, and appreciate them making this available. Almost no one outside of a business can run it, though. Having more accessible models like DeepSeek, Qwen, Llama, and so on have would be amazing.
Would be really nice to have a mini version as well, especially provided that the license doesn't allow distillation.
agreed, grok 2 mini would be nice to have
qwen have a super good 0.6b bro !! right now i think its the smallest best model !!
I don't think this is about what the best model is. It's more about being interested in what they achieved internally at the time and hope they would share. Obviously a newer model is better, but Grok 2 mini is a piece of human history that I think would would be good for everyone if shared.
