We should remember that OpenAI was originally a nonprofit outfit meant to privately fund AI research, not a company meant to create user-facing software. As such, it's mission was to conduct science, and I won't claim that open science necessarily has a definition every scientist in the world agrees on, the idea is fairly formalized by international convention: https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000381148 https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000381148 It's quite wordy, but part of it is basically what the current top comment says: share both the data and the code so that anyone with access to appropriate research infrastructure can reproduce your results. It is definitely not compatible with private companies conducting scientific research as a collection of proprietary trade secrets meant to give themselves a competitive edge in commercial product development.
