Unless they are devoting that $113M to making and releasing open source models a consumer can run, which seems unlikely, I see no way they can succeed in building a better proprietary AI. Google is already feeling the threat to their $100 Billion/year business and is willing to throw massive amounts of money at AI. OpenAI isn’t so much a startup but should be seen as Microsoft’s strategic vision and as such has all the Microsoft resources to push it forward. Microsoft has poured billions into Bing for years in vain hoping to cut into Google’s search dominance. Now comes the chance to use AI to outcompete Google and they will pour their resources into it. With neural networks, massive amounts of data tend to overwhelm any secret sauce. Google and Microsoft have access to massive amounts of data as well as the hardware required to process these massive amounts of data to train neural networks I see this as mostly a way for a European company to ride the hype wave of AI, combine that with European paranoia and envy with regards to the US and make a lot of their investors rich.
