First, "objectively beat" doesn't matter. Comparative LLM performance means more or less nothing without application.

Let's say Google's LLM has slightly poorer reasoning, and you have to be really clear when you tell it to delete your old emails. What are you going to do, go to ChatGPT and have it very eloquently walk you through how to manually delete your emails?

But the idea that Google, the terrifying nation-state, who covetously gobbled up most of the bright minds of a generation, just couldn't fathom RLHF, means you think there is some inherent magic at OpenAI.

I use OpenAI's models a lot, obviously they're great, but whole-thread-as-context as a product is not a product, and Google has people plural who could execute that from first principles.
