Grok-1, the 314-billion-parameter Mixture of Experts (MoE) model open-sourced by Musk's xAI, is the largest open-source large language model, and allows for free distribution and commercialization of changes.
Grok-1 has attracted a lot of attention in the open source community since its release, and has been ranked No. 1 in the world on the GitHub Trending.
However, Grok-1 is built using Rust+JAX, which has a high threshold for users who are used to mainstream software ecosystems such as Python+PyTorch+HuggingFace to get started.
Colossal-AI team followed up immediately and provided an easy-to-use Python + PyTorch + HuggingFace version of Grok-1 for all AI developers.

Performance Optimization
Combined with Colossal-AI's accumulation in large AI model system optimizations, it has rapidly supported tensor parallelism for Grok-1.
On a 8*H800 80GB server, the inference latency is accelerated by nearly 4 times compared to methods such as JAX and HuggingFace's auto device map.

Tutorial
After downloading and installing Colossal-AI, just run the inference scripts
./run_inference_fast.sh hpcaitech/grok-1
Model weights will be downloaded and loaded automatically and the inference results will alos be aligned. The following figure shows a test of Grok-1 greedy search.
