OpenAI is a non-profit. They are not looking to get acquired.
- FartyMcFarter 7y agoIs it still a non-profit? I think they changed their structure to some fudged thing recently.
- gwern 7y agoYes, but the idea of their for-profit subsidiary is to develop new stuff, not sell old stuff. (It'd be like the Hershey Foundation selling Hershey Chocolate.) No one is making >100x returns off of spinning off a 'GPT-2 startup', either. GPT-2 isn't that far in advance of everything else; there's already a replication of the WebText corpus they trained GPT-2 on.
