Reply to comment by Nhabls in [D] What do people think about OpenAI not releasing its research but benefiting from others’ research? Should google meta enforce its patents against them? by [deleted]

Transformers aren't products, they're technology. Search, Maps, Ads, Translation, etc. -- those were the products. Those products had their own business models and competitive moats that had nothing to do with the technical details of the transformer.

Whereas GPT-4 is the product. Access to it is what OpenAI is selling, and its proprietary technology is the only thing that prevents others from commoditizing it. They'd be crazy to open up those secrets.

It has nothing to do with semantics, it's basic corporate strategy.
