Not quite the same, OpenAI was initially quite open, while Ilia is currently very explicitly against opening or open-sourcing research, e.g. see https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/15/23640180/openai-gpt-4-lau...

It wasn't that OpenAI was open as in "open source" but rather that its stated mission was to research AI such that all could benefit from it (open), as well as to ensure that it could not be controlled by any one player, rather than to develop commercial products to sell and make a return on (closed).
