AllenAI is also one to keep your eye on. Founded by Paul Allen of Microsoft, they are one of the best teams working towards truly transparent / open AI (including training data)

I love the tasteful thickness of Paul Allen’s model.
I love Allen AI.

I find it wonderful that, as a non-profit, they are only one to two years behind SOTA models that cost billions of dollars to build, if not more.

AllenAI is great, but they don't have the budget or remit to build large models.
I wonder if the recent sale of the Seahawks will change that. IIRC, ~$10B and all is supposed to go to charity. Not sure how much of that will go to AllenAI, though. (If any.)
No reason to think it will. Paul Allen died after donating the money to create AllenAI and I don't think there are any links.

Hopefully it somehow works out though!

I will wait for Modernist AI by Myhrvold.
