There's a nugget of an interesting concept here. I would like to know more, but I would also like to know more from the folks downvoting you as to why they disagree.
Could you please expand on your thought? I know some recent conversation has been had about the potential that open source models have to "win" against Big Tech, so I'd love to know how your thought accounts for that as well.

Then again it's not like there any incentive for OpenAI to increase efficiency as long they get 'free' Azure credits (and it's not like the real cost for MS is anything close to what they are supposedly investing into OpenAI. IRRC that 10 billion was mainly not in actual money)
- throwaway290 3y agoThe incentive surely comes from Microsoft, they didn't invest with no expectation of ROI:)
