About

What grok-1 is

This repository contains the weights of the Grok-1 open-weights model. You can find the code in the GitHub Repository.

Download instruction

Clone the repo & download the int8 checkpoint to the checkpoints directory by executing this command in the repo root directory:

git clone https://github.com/xai-org/grok-1.git && cd grok-1
pip install huggingface_hub[hf_transfer]
huggingface-cli download xai-org/grok-1 --repo-type model --include ckpt-0/* --local-dir checkpoints --local-dir-use-symlinks False

Then, you can run:

pip install -r requirements.txt
python run.py

You should be seeing output from the language model.

Due to the large size of the model (314B parameters), a multi-GPU machine is required to test the model with the example code.

How it works

How language models work

Your prompttext / messagesTransformerattention over tokensNext-token loopgenerate + streamResponsetext · tool callsA language model reads your tokens and predicts the next one, again and again, streaming the reply back.

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys grok-1 for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (grok-1 below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"grok-1","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'

Create an account — your API key is available in the console. 5M tokens/month currently included with every new account at launch.
