@GergelyOrosz open-sourcing the inference code is not the same as fixing the privacy issue. if the CLI still uploads by default, the problem is still there

So given this history, excuse me if I'm staying far more sceptical than usual that Grok open sourced someting after being caught red handed uploading the full local home folder, codebase, .env files, .git directory without telling devs that the CLI does that Let's see if this is a real open source or the X algo type of mockery of open source

do we think grok build will be "open source" like the X algo or open source like the codex cli
