Tbh this reads a lot like Ilya thinking he’s Tony Stark and his (still impressive) language model is somehow the same as an iron man suit. Which is arrogance to the point of ignorance, reality isn’t that romantic.

I can only hope this doesn’t turn into OpenAI trying to gatekeep multimodal models or conversely everyone else leaving them in the dust.

you seem to have confused the two. Sam’s entire reason for being there was to decrease transparency, make open research proprietary, and monetize it.

>>cuuupi+(OP)
It's possible this will have the opposite effect.

Sam was the VC guy pushing gatekeeping of models and building closed products and revenue streams. Ilya is the AI researcher who believes strongly in the nonprofit mission and open source.

Perhaps, if OpenAI can survive those, then they will actually be more open in the future.

Don’t forget regulatory capture, lobbying with congress to decrease competition so only the deepest pockets can work on these things.
