this advantage is not specific to OpenAI right? Any big cloud provider like Amazon/Google can host these open LLM models.

OpenAI's got the first mover advantage. It's everything if you don't fuck up.

It's not exclusive, no. At OpenAI's scale though, they can afford to purchase their own hardware like a big cloud provider can. It's likely that OpenAI was running Nvidia's DGX servers in production before AWS and GCP even got their unit quotes.
