OpenAI is not relevant in a world where DeepSeek is open source.

not sure if there would be a deepseek open source model if there were no leading models from OpenAI et al
just like Bell Labs UNIX gave way to BSD UNIX which gave way to SunOS/Solaris which gave way to Linux... this is a tale as old as time. The question is will this end the same way?
depending on whether the incumbents will keep the ability to ride new S-curves...

as in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Innovator%27s_Dilemma

not sure if there would be an openai if it was not for the google paper in 2017 that introduced transformers.
