Still more open than Google, Microsoft or DeepMind
- andsoitis 4y agoIn what specific ways? Google and Microsoft both release and contribute to open source software. They both publish vast amounts of research. What does OpenAI do differentially?
- lairv 4y agoThey at least give access through paid API to their latest models, which hasn't been the case for Imagen, Parti, LaMDA (google), Flamingo, AlphaGo, AlphaZero, AlphaStar, AlphaCode, AlphaTensor (DeepMind), Make-a-scene, Make-a-video (Meta)
- PartiallyTyped 4y agoI don't think DM was open in any meaningful way other than publishing research. It took a long time until their source code became public, and replication of certain papers is problematic to say the least. Similar issues exist with some G.Brain papers not releasing code publicly years after acceptance. But all of these are anecdata from a random person on HN so take with a grain of salt.
- SquareWheel 4y agoAre we forgetting TensorFlow? It played a part in starting this whole AI revolution.
- scaredginger 4y agoYes, we're all aware it's common practice to open source code. However, if the weights aren't provided and the data is unavailable or the compute is expensive, the code is worthless.
- mannerheim 4y agoDoes OpenAI provide weights, data, or even code?
- orra 4y agoThey sometimes provide code, and less often pre-computed models. But we're not talking about their crown jewels, so the name OpenAI is completely misleading.
- CJefferson 4y agoMore open than Google and Microsoft? There is loads of open source I can download that Google and Microsoft created and released. What has OpenAI ever released?
