The Transformer architecture that powers GPT models is based on a now-famous Google Brain paper, Attention is All You Need. You're right that OpenAI has productized this research much faster than Big Tech, but the research itself came from established R&D in Academia and Big Tech.

The diffusion papers most analogous to the transformer paper are from Berkeley, Stanford, and Freiburg. Imagen wasn’t foundational in the way you’re suggesting.

Yes, the people are where the value is, not a dumb fuck like Sundar.
