alt Hacker NewsOut of all the companies that signed the open letter that Dario references, Google and OpenAI feel like they did it to poke at their competitor. I probably should have taken shots at Microsoft and Meta as well for not really supporting openness, but they don't feel like serious competition in the LLM space at the moment.
Google is actually kind of a sad story. They’re focusing their entire company on LLMs, their models lag behind open weights, they still somehow believe that they’re going to get to a place where they’ll have valuable IP and it’s becoming increasingly clear that there will be no such thing in the LLM space in the future. Greek tragedy.
