In this link this discussion:
The memo, which was obtained by SemiAnalysis from a public Discord server, says that neither Google nor OpenAI have what they need to succeed in the AI industry. Instead, the researcher claims “a third faction has been quietly eating our lunch”: open-source AI models that the researcher says are “faster, more customizable, more private, and pound-for-pound more capable.”
WHO IS THE THIRD FACTION?
Microsoft owns part of openai don’t they?
No, they are separate entities. MS heavily funded openai once musk left and has a preferential access to its products and tech
It’s a complicated deal, since Open AIs corporate structure, but they are one of the bigger supporters and get a lot of their profits.
Sidenote, I think its absolutely criminal to call your company open__ when there’s nothing open about it.
