Quick Glance: Chris Christie Declines No Labels Presidential Bid

Quick Glance: New Availability of Grok AI Announced for X Premium Subscribers
- Elon Musk has officially announced that Grok, the AI chatbot from Musk's xAI, is now accessible to all X Premium users. Previously, Grok was exclusively available to X Premium+ subscribers.
- In March of this year, xAI took a significant step by releasing Grok as an open-source project. This move enables developers and researchers to leverage the powerful 'weights and architecture' behind xAI's Grok chatbot for their projects at no cost.
- The release of Grok is under the Apache 2.0 license, allowing commercial use. Reports indicate that Grok is now available on GitHub, allowing anyone to freely experiment with the 'raw' basic version of the pre-trained Grok big language models.
- Grok, the 'conversational AI for understanding the universe,' was first introduced to the public at the end of 2023. The Grok chatbot can access real-time X data, which sets it apart from competitors, aiming to establish itself as a more modern and edgy alternative to other chatbots.

Quick Glance: Colombia Expels Argentine Diplomats Following Controversial Remarks by Milei About Petro
- In response to Argentine President Javier Milei labeling Colombian President Gustavo Petro as a 'terrorist,' 'murderer,' and 'communist' in an interview with CNN, Colombia ordered the expulsion of Argentine diplomats from their embassy in the Andean nation.
- According to Colombia's foreign ministry, the Argentine president's comments have undermined Colombia's trust and offended the dignity of President Petro, who was democratically elected.
- Following Milei's provocative comments, Colombia recalled its ambassador to Argentina earlier this year. Petro, who is Colombia's first leftist president, has a background as a former member of the long-demobilized M-19 guerrilla movement.
- In addition to his criticism of Petro, the Libertarian Milei also targeted other regional leaders in excerpts of the interview, including Mexico's Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
