I'm more of an interested outsider, but are any of these smaller companies, like Open AI, on that list?

I was talking with a friend about how ChatGPT could replace Google for search. Are they just keeping research close to the vest?

OpenAI = Microsoft

Yes there are but I don't know all of them. Note though that Stable Diffusion blew Dall-E2 and Imagen out of the water. Because it was free and open source, it was much more widely used. Now Dall-E is probably still going to be used heavily in industry, but the closed tools and expensive tools tend to lose out to the free and open source ones. That's one thing that has happened so far with generative adversarial networks and that's one thing that would likely happen with large language models and other models as well.

imo there are only a few companies that have a real shot at making AGI.

Google / DeepMind / Anthropic

Microsoft / OpenAI

Meta / FAIR

There are smaller companies like Adept, Cohere and Inflection that are doing interesting work.

Others like Amazon, Nvidia, Apple, Tesla, Salesforce, Intel, IBM are capable, but they haven't fully committed to AGI.

The difference seems to be that the other companies are investing in AI to boost their main business (Nvidia for hardware sales, Tesla for Self driving, etc.)

For the big 3 AGI is the business.
