They have a window of less than 6 month to create a monopoly before their tech get commoditized.

The play is well know: create a marketplace with customers and vendors like Amazon, Facebook, Google.

But with GPT-4 training finished last summer they had plenty of time for strategy.

Yeah. I really underestimated OpenAI's ability to productize ChatGPT.

> their tech get commoditized

that's if competitors catch up on quality

OpenAI is crushing it in terms of product strategy

Well, of course.

They are led by GPT4 and their CEO is just a Text To Speech Interface ;-)

It's in the surname: alt man.

Embedding to Speech interface ;-)

I m hoping chatbots will end up small enough they can run locally, everywhere. This is a lot of private data.

It may be doable - a chatbot with a lot of plugins does not need to know a lot of facts, just to have a good grasp of language. It can fetch its factual answers from the wikipedia plugin

openai wants to gatekeep access and use of their AI. so why would they ever release a local LLM? i think that would come from their enemies

I mean, GPT3 requires some 800GB of memory to run, do we all have gazillion dollars supercomputers at home? I think, unless there's some real breaktrough in the field or in the hw acceleration, this kind of model is going to stay locked behind a pricy API for quite some time.

GPT-3.5 requires less. And neither model is considered size-optimal. It's just that with Microsoft's money, it's easier for OpenAI to move fast by throwing said money at more hardware rather than trying to optimize for size.

And yeah, I wouldn't expect them to share any model that is competitive with their current offering. But it can leak, and the copyright situation around that is very unclear at the moment.

they wouldn't ; i hope there will be an open source alternative. Firefox and chrome are open source

Let insiders & preferred users build a plugin, then, slowly, everyone else on the waitlist

...And approve 1% of them.

it's dark..

Well that’s a win-win situation
