Grok 2.5 open weights

xAI · 23 August 2025

xAI posts Grok 2.5 weights on Hugging Face, about 500GB, under a community license that bars using them to train other models.

Weights for last year's best model (MoE, needs 8 GPUs with 40GB+ each). The Grok 2 Community License restricts competitive use. Musk said Grok 3 would follow in about six months; I found no confirmation that it happened.
