> I wouldn't say big tech was "trounced" by OpenAI.

I mean not a single “big tech” company is offering any LLM products not powered by Open AI. It’s been almost 3 years since GPT-3 was released. I’m not sure they can catch up at this point. And I think the GPs point was a good one: big tech threw billions and billions at personal assistants. Nothing innovative was delivered.

Aren’t google search and google translate powered by transformer models?

Probably, but using a transformer isn’t Open AI’s advantage. A widely available language model with “emergent abilities” is Open AI’s advantage. The fact that it’s a transformer is more of an implementation detail.
