All AI companies used to release their top tier research into the open. Google doesn't have control/equity/IP over the transformer paper. GPT-J and co are GPT-2 equivalents, that are not actually useful in any way. So its more just building up the open source ecosystem. Stability did get the branding rights to SD1.4, they spent a few million to get incredible name recognition out of nowhere, in the hottest and most competitive tech space ever. Those sponsored alphago tournaments costed way more and had less reputational impact than the millions using SD every day. |

A model is not a paper and the transformer paper isn't what keeps the lights on in Mountain view. (Nor alphago for that matter.)
Agree on the incredible name recognition, but that's a mighty fragile thing if not built on sound foundation. Even a slight breeze like this article can make it wobble
It'll probably work given how everyone is falling over each other trying to give AI-anything money, but still gives me strong dot com era vibes. Appearance first, substance perhaps later.
