Open Ai is reading their papers then implementing and distributing the resulting models. I think they were unhappy about that and stopped sharing. Oh yeah and Open AI is getting rich of the work of others and destroying the parent company that paid for the research. So i don't think you will be seeing anything for a while.

Well I would argue that most companies take the work of others to build products. Like Apple didn’t invent hard drives, monitors, CPUs and operating systems, they just implemented them in an innovative way. DeepMind at its core is a research company… they had to expect that others would use their science to build products

Yes, this fiasco reminds me of Steve Jobs' stealing the intellectual property of the GUI from Xerox. They (Xerox) were sitting on perfectly implementable technology, but didn't seem to think there was any need for ordinary consumers to use such an interface. Jobs evidently never signed any kind of confidentiality agreement as Xerox assumed his intentions for touring the facility were for educational proposes. Soon thereafter, Jobs pilfered Xerox's technology -- and the rest is history, as we all are accustomed to using what became the "mouse". I hope there are others who, like Jobs, will do what it takes to get this tech into all of our hands as soon as possible.

More like "Here's exactly how to make a car that can run for 200,000 miles on one drop of water. I'm not going to make it though, because won't someone think of the poor oil barons?"

then

"ZOMG!!!! Someone made the car and is selling it for billions???"

It's baffling that Google has sat on the tech for so long, and fully justified that another upstart is castrating them after actually using it

Google doesn't want to cannabalize its own bussiness, which is search advertising. They probably realized early on that LLM models will compete with their main profit generator, so they decided to not allocate a significant amount of capital into making it a publically available product.

Yeah well too bad. They don't have a choice in the matter and that should be crystal clear to them.
They have no one to blame but themselves.
Cannibalization and adaptation is their one and only move.

OpenAI has turned into ClosedAI

ClosedAI also opened pandoras box so they do deserve some credit for getting the ball rolling.

Now it will likely be on the next OpenAI to release the next milestone advancement unless OpenAI can strike twice with GPT-4 and move the medium forward passed the ChatGPT plus web search capability of new Bing.

I have no faith in Google doing it, if that isn't clear. I hope they prove me wrong though.
