Thanks for the analogy. It seems OpenAI is getting ahead in building mass-market products (ChatGPT, Microsoft Partnership) by using 'lesser' LLMs (vs Google's published results).

From what I've been reading/tinkering, this expertise is essential bc these models are very useful only if the UX paradigms accommodate for them. Getting their hands dirty with consumer-facing applications may keep them a step ahead of Google despite the research 'disadvantage'.
