Well they did.

Then Google did.

Then llava.

The issue is that this technology has no most (other than the cost to create models and datasets)

There’s not a lot of secret sauce you can use that someone else can’t trivially replicate, given the resources.

It’s going to come down to good ol product design and engineering.

The issue is openai doesn’t seem to care about what their users want. (I don’t think their users know what they want either, but that’s another discussion)

They want more money to make bigger models in the hope that nobody else can or will.

They want to achieve regulatory capture as their moat.

For all their technical abilities at scaling LLM training and inference, I don’t get the feeling that they have great product direction.
